FULL INNOVATION CYCLES

WITH OUR FULL INNOVATION CYCLE, WE CO-CREATE A UNIQUE FUNDRAISING PROPOSITION FROM SCRATCH.

At the end of our tried-and-tested 16-week methodology, you’ll have a new audience-led proposition ready for creative development and media planning. We’ll have done rigorous audience testing and you’ll feel excited about the idea and its potential.

  • If your Individual Giving Ask relies on a generic case for support that only works in Dialogue channels – Face-to-Face and door-to-door fundraising – we can help.

WE OFTEN WORK WITH COMMUNITY, MASS PARTICIPATION, INDIVIDUAL GIVING, INNOVATION AND PUBLIC FUNDRAISING TEAMS.

Together we’ve co-created products that raised millions of pounds and motivated hundreds of thousands of new donors to give.

How Dementia UK raised £2.1 million in a month starting with our Innovation Cycle method.

- Recruited over 25,000 brand new financial supporters

- The biggest ever single Facebook Challenge in the UK

HOW WE DO IT:

We take you through nine structured stages to raise your product development game. We…

  • Work with you to set an ambitious five-year goal and define the target audience

  • Conduct qualitative research using in-depth video interviews to understand your audiences pains, gains, and needs

  • Create a high volume of ideas using deep insight

  • Shortlist and agree the ideas to test

  • Co-create, pivot and stretch through qualitative, quantitative, and smoke testing

  • Maximise learning and engagement, working with your project team.

“We worked with Flying Cars on a detailed research project over a number of months. I was always impressed with their professionalism, flexibility to tailor the work and quality of the output. They are knowledgeable, hard working, honest and bright people that are fun to work with.”
