About the Client
Wildlife SOS is an international nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and protecting India’s most vulnerable wildlife, including sloth bears and elephants. Since 1995, the organization has operated rescue missions, lifetime care sanctuaries, anti-poaching initiatives, and community education programs. With a growing global supporter base, Wildlife SOS relies on digital advocacy, international donors, and animal sponsorships to fund its critical conservation work and expand its impact worldwide.
The Challenge
Although Wildlife SOS had volunteers familiar with Google Ads, managing the Google Ad Grant was difficult due to the different restrictions on Ad Grant accounts, and the difference in strategies needed to get the best results. These limited their account’s performance and left their Grant budget underutilized. A recent website hack also caused ads to be turned off, disrupting momentum and making campaign reactivation complicated.
At the same time, the organization launched a new website and wanted to significantly increase visibility, grow its international donor base, promote animal sponsorships, and strengthen its competitive presence in the wildlife conservation space. In short – there was a lot going on.
They needed expert guidance to restore stability, maximize their $10,000/month Grant, and build a strategy that would drive meaningful advocacy and donor engagement without overextending their internal team.
