The challenge

Julia’s House has ambitious goals for its digital marketing activity, supporting families with seriously ill children. They came to Uprated for support in scaling their campaign activity and aligning with their 2025 goals.

The solution

We helped Julia’s House boost local engagement and event participation by targeting high-intent audiences, expanding their under-used Google Grant account beyond brand keywords, and creating compelling ads to drive challenge sign-ups. Continuous testing and optimisation delivered stronger results month by month.
