Make-A-Wish selects Thompson Habib Denison as agency of record

The charity turns to THD to lead strategy for all direct response efforts

THD will be responsible for all direct response marketing, providing strategic recommendations regarding channel mix and budgetary allocations and ensuring that Make-A-Wish efforts utilize the best-performing media mix powered by SimioCloud, the Moore constituent data platform. Other Moore companies being leveraged for this integrated service solution include Direct Donor TV for media buying and TCM Creative for video creative and production.

“We are honored to work with such a celebrated brand and look forward to building an omnichannel donor experience that engages and acknowledges donors, motivating them to join the cause and stay connected for the long term,” said Linda Williams, chief strategy officer at THD. “Make-A-Wish’s vital mission has given back to so many families over the past four decades by giving kids the strength to fight against critical illnesses.”

Through insight-powered strategies, sophisticated analytical tools, digital marketing techniques, compelling creative and a unique midlevel donor advancement practice, THD will inspire current and future donors to support the mission of Make-A-Wish.

“We look forward to working with THD and applying their data-driven strategies to drive long-term revenue and donor growth,” said Amanda Clayton, vice president of integrated fundraising with Make-A-Wish. “The THD team and Moore enterprise as a whole is highly strategic, creative and laser-focused on solving our challenges.”

“We will use the full resources of Moore to support Make-A-Wish and their fundraising goals,” said Gretchen Littlefield, chief executive officer of Moore. “I am confident that the THD team is the right choice for Make-A-Wish, as their fundraising program is highly complex and requires a company like THD that has the depth and breadth to deliver transformational growth.”
