Ignite Marketing

Campaigns on live data.No exports. No sync.

Ignite Marketing runs on the same record that holds gifts, relationships, and engagement. Describe an audience in plain language, let AI draft in your brand voice, and keep final approval on everything that goes out.

30 minutes. Live product. Real data. No deck.

  • Email, SMS, direct mail & push
  • AI drafts, your team approves
  • No per-seat fees

The real Ignite Marketing campaigns list, captured in a seeded demo workspace: twelve campaigns with their code, goal, status, type and appeal count in one view. The volumes are demo records, never a customer result.

The list-export tax

You're a list-export operator, not a marketer.

Pull the segment, clean the CSV, load the email tool, and hope the list is still true by the time you hit send.

01

Stale the moment you export

The segment is accurate when you pull it and wrong by the time the email goes out, because the record kept moving and the CSV did not.

02

Sync lag between tools

The marketing platform and the CRM trade files on a schedule, so this morning’s gift is not in tonight’s send.

03

Two versions of the results

Campaign performance lives in a separate dashboard with its own numbers, so nobody is sure which report finance will recognize.

Plan, structure, and send from one record.

Campaigns, appeals, and audiences are platform entities, not exports, so the plan, the message, and the results stay connected.

Campaign structure

One campaign. Every working detail.

Purpose, schedule, goal, and status live on the campaign record, with appeals, donation pages, events, and fundraisers connected underneath it — one structure that rolls up cleanly.

  • Campaigns, appeals, and touchpoints as platform entities, not exports
  • Campaign structure enforced across every appeal
  • Goals, dates, and status visible where the work happens
Ignite Marketing campaign overview showing purpose, goal, schedule, status, and connected activity tabs.
The real campaign record: code, start and end dates, goal amount, campaign type and purpose on one form, with Appeals, Donation Pages, Events, Fundraisers and Performance as tabs on the same record. Captured in a seeded demo workspace — the structure is the product, the records are demo records.

Appeal management

Every appeal stays in campaign context.

Appeals carry their type, status, sent volume, and revenue alongside the campaign they serve, so results read in context instead of in a separate tool.

  • Appeal type, draft status, sent volume, and revenue in one view
  • A five-step campaign wizard: type, audience, content, schedule, review
  • Send orchestration across email, SMS, direct mail export, and push
Ignite Marketing campaign appeals tab showing appeal type, status, sent volume, and revenue.
The same campaign record, one tab across: three appeals drafted underneath it, each carrying its own code, type and status in the campaign’s own view. A seeded demo workspace before anything is scheduled, so the send and revenue columns read zero — they are demo records, never a customer result.

Audiences

Name the audience once. Reuse it.

Audiences are saved objects on the platform, sitting beside the campaigns that use them, so an appeal targets a named group instead of a fresh export — and the group is still reading the live record on the day you send.

Personalization at scale

Describe the audience. Approve the message.

Segmentation, drafting, and personalization run on the full record, and every AI suggestion waits for a person.

Natural-language segmentation

Describe the audience — “lapsed major donors who attended events last year” — and Ignite builds the segment, shows the count, and predicts response.

How is this different from a marketing tool synced to our CRM?

There is no sync. Marketing reads the same live record that holds gifts, relationships, and engagement, so a segment reflects this morning’s gifts, not last week’s export. When a donor gives or lapses, the segment already reflects it.

How does segmentation work?

Build from the segments catalog, describe the audience you want in plain language, or compose segments visually on the Universe Canvas with audience size and predicted response shown as you work. Segments combine into reusable audiences, and they stay current because they are never exported.

Where does AI fit in the marketing workflow?

In the targeting and the drafting. Plain-language segmentation builds the audience, AI content generation drafts in your organization’s brand voice, and Smart Ask personalization tunes ask amounts from live giving history. Every AI suggestion waits for staff approval. Nothing sends itself.

Which channels does Ignite Marketing deliver?

Email, SMS, direct mail export, and push notifications, delivered natively from the platform record — with channel, frequency, and topic preferences honored on every send.

Do we still need a separate email tool?

No. The visual email builder pairs drag-and-drop creation with an AI Creative Director panel, and more than 240 nonprofit templates arrive with your brand colors, logos, and typography applied automatically.
