Exeter College Oxford

Exeter College has been working with TGDH since early 2021 to build and design a communications and fundraising campaign to support the £11.3m Library restoration project.

After a kick off meeting, TGDH spent significant time learning about the College – who Exeter are, what there identity was and what needed to be achieved from the campaign. From there a direct mail pack was created to launch the library fundraising to the alumni which produced outstanding results. This first DM raised nearly £250,000 and achieved a 3.2% response rate. Which exceeded the colleges expectations! At the same time a microsite was launched and was designed to match and supplement the broader design work of the campaign.

Alongside producing the DM and the microsite, TGDH also worked with the college to produce a document to be used during conversations with major donors. The brochure is sympathetic to the broader design but more refined, with a focus on excellent photography and beautiful embellishment.

The important thing to say is this, we trust TGDH. We trust them to support us in achieving our goals, to help us create the materials and communications we need – and to make sure they are beautiful and in budget. If you’re looking for an agency to help support your college campaigns, or mailings, then we could not recommend TGDH more highly!”
