How Pillar Brands Propelled an existing campaign to New Heights

Turning Point Ministries set out to expand the reach and impact of their “Overcomer” events, a powerful multi-city tour designed to inspire and equip their audience. But to take the campaign to new heights, they needed a bold, high-impact strategy to cut through the noise, inspire action, and fill rooms with engaged participants.

Their challenge was twofold: How do we grow digital engagement while simultaneously increasing in-person attendance? And how do we ensure that every touchpoint—whether an email, social post, or event invitation—moves people from awareness to participation?

Not Just a Campaign

HOW WE HELPED

We stepped in with a vision to transform Turning Point’s aspirations into tangible successes. By weaving together our expertise in digital strategy and our nuanced understanding of the Christian community, we set out to craft a campaign that would magnify Turning Point’s impact both online and in arenas across the nation.

Working in tandem with the Turning Point team, we crafted a strategy that didn’t just promote the campaign but actively moved people to engage. We combined digital precision with an intimate understanding of faith-based communities, being sure that every communication fostered connection, increased attendance, and expanded Turning Point’s influence. Our goal was to drive both digital and in-person participation—transforming casual followers into committed attendees and volunteers.

Email Strategy

Personalized Engagement

Recognizing the different levels of engagement within their audience, we developed a three-tiered email strategy tailored to varying degrees of familiarity and interest in the ministry. Each tier received customized messages designed to nurture their journey from awareness to active participation. Our communication was dynamic, adjusting in real-time to maximize impact—promoting volunteer opportunities as events filled up and intensifying calls to action as the campaign progressed.

Social Media Expansion

Broadening Reach

We spearheaded an expansion of Turning Point’s social media presence, launching a new channel specifically designed to engage younger demographics and implementing micro-targeted ads to capture the attention of potential new followers. Our posts were carefully crafted with specific engagement objectives, designed to increase interactions and convert followers into event registrants and active community members.
