It’s an increasingly crowded sector with thousands of legacy campaigns – how does yours stand out from the pack? What makes it resonate with your prospective donor audience? Does it reset the standard for legacy messaging? Does it use traditional communication methods in an outstanding way, or refresh an established charity brand?
