You can design a marketing automation Anyway You Want It. But to keep those supporters turning to you with Open Arms, make sure you’ve setup these four Journeys. Raise the Roots’ Brandon Fuller will walk you through the different ways Humane Society International has successfully configured four categories of automations to welcome and re-engage supporters, while growing monthly giving and birthday peer-to-peer campaigns.

6pm GMT/2pm ET - 11 _____S WALK INTO A BAR: STORIES & TACTICS FOR OFF-SEASON WINS

Presenters: Eric Rubin of Engaging Networks and Maan Sacdalan of the National Trust for Historic Preservation
Since 1988, the National Trust has used its list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places to raise awareness about the threats facing some of the nation’s greatest treasures. The list has been so successful in galvanizing preservation and awareness-raising efforts off-season that only a handful of sites have been lost and the campaign routinely achieves +1 billion media impressions.
This session explores how any organization can discover and select the mission-oriented stories and assets to connect with a wide-reaching, national audience in a way that is simultaneously targeted to diverse, local communities.
This session will further focus on the tactics used to build media buzz while also using integrated marketing best practices to turn this publicity into real conversions of new and sustaining donors and activists.

6.30pm GMT/2.30pm ET - A/B TESTING: MISTAKES EVERYONE MAKES (AND HOW TO AVOID THEM)

Presenter: Karen Hopper, Senior Data Strategist at M+R
We’ve seen nearly everything that can go wrong in an A/B test go wrong. Many of these failures resulted in our greatest learnings about how to A/B testing correctly. Let us share with you what to look out for so you don’t have to make some of these mistakes yourself! During this 30 minute session, we will touch on what makes a good test hypothesis, controlling variables, audience size and composition, and evaluating test results — with examples along the way of real live tests gone wrong and explanations of what could have saved them.

7pm GMT/3pm ET - HOW TO GO "SUPPORTER FIRST" WITHOUT LOSING YOUR FORKING MIND

Presenter: Amy Peyrot, Vice President at M+R
Chances are, you think of your marketing by channels: Email, website, advertising, and (maybe) a few other ways to communicate with your supporters. But that isn’t how people interact with the world, and it shouldn’t be how your marketing program runs either! Join this session as we talk about WHY it is critical to have a “supporter first” program (talking points you can share with your boss!) and HOW to take steps towards building that elusive omni-channel program.

8pm GMT/4pm ET - BRING ’EM BACK: PLANNING AND MANAGING EMAIL RE-ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGNS

Presenter: Jen Frazier, Founder of Firefly Partners
What do you do with the subscribers on your list who just aren’t opening your emails? That’s where re-engagement campaigns come in. Re-engagement is the email marketing equivalent of reaching out to a bunch of old friends you’ve lost touch with and trying to reconnect with them. A few of them respond, a few might not, and a handful could actually become deep important relationships again. No matter what, the end result will help your organization with data cleanliness. Here’s how we suggest preparing for a re-engagement campaign and a few different approaches you can take for different segments of your inactive list.

9pm GMT/5pm ET - THE CRISIS RESPONSE CHECKLIST: LAUNCHING AND SCALING CAMPAIGNS

Presenters: Ryan Baillargeon, Founder OF Grassriots and Leah Henderson, Director of Strategy at Grassriots
We don’t need to tell you how things have changed drastically in the last few weeks. What we can share with you, however, is how your organization can respond to a crisis when you have something valuable to contribute. Grassriots is working actively on a number of COVID-19 related crisis response campaigns right now, and we’ve done crisis response and emergency campaigns before with national and international organizations.
Crisis response campaigns are a different animal from typical digital campaigns. We’ll take you through the must-dos and must-haves, including:

10pm GMT/6pm - DIGITAL HAPPY HOUR - COCKTAILS WITH JOHN
