What That Looks Like

Here are some examples of successful strategies we’ve executed for clients.

Release Campaign for The Color of Compromise by Jemar Tisby

Every New York Times Bestseller starts somewhere and Jemar Tisby laid really great groundwork with a well-established and engaged audience and a growing email list through the  content outlet he co-founded, The Witness. We were invited to help leverage his work for the release of his book in 2019. Apricot Services wrote and managed an email drip campaign, curated, designed, and executed a social media content strategy, developed and managed digital ads, and administered a launch team.

Love Muslims Prayer Movement from Prayercast

Prayercast leads a prayer campaign during Ramadan called Love Muslims featuring compelling and engaging guided prayer resources. Apricot Services collaborated with their team to consult on the campaign landing page, develop an email growth strategy, design their daily prayer emails, write, design, and manage the campaign’s social media content, and develop and manage the digital ads and media buys. 311,000 page views and 123,000 video views coming in from 192 countries around the world pointed to the success of this campaign!

Kara Powell’s author brand strategy

Kara Powell, the Executive Director of Fuller Youth Institute, was ready to build a digital home for her own research and work ahead of her book release Growing Young. Apricot Services created a full author-platform strategy which we executed by building a customized website, developing a unique brand and voice, establishing social media profiles and developing a content strategy for her blog and social media to promote organic growth. Once her book was released, we developed social media content, designed digital ads and managed a launch team strategy.

MEBO Digital Media Management and Year End Giving Campaign Communication

Apricot Services started with a complete digital audit including email, websites and social. We then helped leadership implement and manage overall social communications including regular ads management and grew facebook following from 40 to over 2000 in 12 months. We assisted in a rebranding campaign including a new logo and refreshed website. With strategic communication coordination between 6 different programmatic areas in the Middle East, the non-profit acquired hundreds of new donors. During several crises, Apricots assisted with new landing pages and social and email blasts to rally support for urgent needs resulting in millions of dollars raised for those that needed it most.

What’s the Feedback

“Apricot Services has come alongside IVP to produce our topical email newsletters that go to at least 30,000 subscribers. They are great collaborators who understand our audience, seamlessly adapt to our brand guidelines, and communicate well. As our email point person, I appreciate their prompt responses and attention to detail, and I trust them as we hand off more and more aspects of our email work to their care. Because of our partnership with Apricot, we’ve been able to level up our email marketing program without taxing our own designers. In the Christian publishing space, Apricot Services would be a valuable addition to any team!”
