Solution FocusChannel Optimisation & Funnel Architecture

Revolutionising channel efficiency to unlock sustainable donor acquisition.

BROAD REFORM was entrusted to audit and optimise Open Doors Australia's multi-channel digital ecosystem — to identify what was actually driving conversions and fix the performance bottlenecks. By connecting tracking pixels across GTM, Meta and Google Ad Manager, segmenting supporter database lists, building a full-funnel paid-media strategy and introducing hopeful, positive-impact calls to action, we transformed ODA's digital acquisition.

The result: Paid Search GA4 revenue grew +563.97% year-on-year (reaching $181.2K), Paid Social GA4 revenue jumped +749.42%, and Meta ad purchases grew +860.53% — while cost-per-acquisition fell 87.33%. Proof that technical tracking precision and compelling messaging drive extraordinary non-profit revenue growth.

The challenge

Tracking gaps and unsegmented audiences

Open Doors Australia needed a comprehensive evaluation of its digital ecosystem — to understand traffic drivers and eliminate budget inefficiencies:

  • Limited attribution and tracking disconnects across Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Google Ad Manager.
  • Under-utilised audience data — existing supporters and new prospect lists left unsegmented across advertising platforms.
  • Missing top-of-funnel structure on Google and Meta to feed mid- and bottom-funnel retargeting loops.
  • A need to pivot creative CTAs toward positive impact and hopeful outcomes to build stronger audience buy-in.

Despite these hurdles, we were tasked with rebuilding the channel strategy from the ground up — acquiring new supporters efficiently while maximising existing audience lifetime value.

The strategy

Data-driven, structured & aligned

A three-pillar strategy to fix channel foundations, maximise audience value and systematically scale donor conversions.

01

Tracking Infrastructure & GTM Fixes

The action

Connected and rectified Google Tag Manager pixel triggers and conversion actions across Meta, Google Ads and GAM.

The impact

Restored full conversion-tracking accuracy, giving automated bid strategies clean signals to optimise for high-value donations.

02

Audience Segmentation & Platform Activation

The action

Segmented ODA's existing supporter data and integrated new prospect lists directly into the advertising platforms.

The impact

Enabled hyper-targeted messaging to warm audiences, and lookalike pathways to acquire new supporters at significantly lower cost.

03

Full-Funnel Alignment & Hopeful Messaging

The action

Structured top-of-funnel Google and Meta campaigns feeding mid/bottom-funnel retargeting, re-framing CTAs around positive impact and hope.

The impact

Boosted Paid Social engagement +139.32% and lifted Paid Search key-event conversions +456.10% YoY.

Results

Exceeding targets across every primary metric

A comprehensive audit, robust tracking setup and full-funnel optimisation yielded major revenue and conversion gains across both GA4 analytics and the native advertising platforms.
