When iVolunteer, India’s leading nonprofit for volunteer-driven impact, partnered with SIDBI to launch the SWAR Fellowship, they faced the ultimate growth-marketing challenge:
Typical fellowship campaigns rent attention. We built equity. Instead of generic calls for applications, our approach used rapid experimentation, strategic narrative design, and high-performance growth tactics. We systematically identified exactly what resonated and amplified it.
The campaign significantly outperformed expectations, both in quantity and quality.
47% above target for total applications within the campaign window
65% reduction in cost per lead, unlocking major savings through real-time optimization
3x surge in daily site traffic and rapid lead conversion within the first 30 days
100% campaign alignment across Meta, LinkedIn, and Google, reaching both urban and grassroots changemakers with precision
