Our channel reviews can help you discover whether you’re making the best use of the digital channels you use to communicate, and what you can improve on. This can help you attract more supporters or raise more funds online.
Our channel reviews are perfect for you if you’re not sure about:
- how to get useful insights about your content
- how effectively your channels are performing
- which channels you should be focusing on
How Platypus helped Opportunity International rethink their digital marketing to reach their highest potential
What it is
Our channel reviews are data-led analysis of one or more of your digital marketing channels with recommendations on how to improve it.
We analyse your audiences and demographics, and the breakdown of your content categories, ask types, and message frames.
Where you don’t have much content on a particular channel, we can look at how you perform against best practice and make recommendations to get you up and running.
We can review pages on your organic social channels and the ads side of:
- Tiktok
- email marketing
- specific sections or pages of your website.
How do we do it?
We look at every piece of content
We look at all the posts and content on the channels you’ve over an appropriate period of time.
We analyse across a range of metrics
We gather data like the type and content of your posts, impressions, and engagement and click rates. We can then tell you what types of content to produce depending on your goals.
We ask the right questions
We compare what we find against our experience of what works, industry benchmarks, and best practice, and ask a series of detailed questions like:
- Is your posting activity aligned with your digital strategy?
- Do you have the right mix of post types, covering information sharing, stories, fundraising asks, and more?
- Are your campaigns set up in a way that makes sense and gets the most from the platform’s algorithms?
- What content is most effective?
- Is your content well matched to the key audiences on these channels?
- Is your tracking helping you report on the numbers that matter?
- How does your audience react to your content? How does this compare to other charities?
We combine the insight from your data and interviews to create a detailed report of recommendations.
