Why Most Mission-Driven Campaigns Fail
Our RISE Framework for Impact
At Effct, we follow a proven approach called the RISE framework – built on Research, Impactful creative, Strategic amplification, and Evaluation. These four pillars ensure your campaign is thoroughly planned, artfully executed, widely promoted, and constantly optimized for maximum impact.
Research-Backed Strategy
Impactful Creative & Messaging
Strategic Amplification
Evaluation & Optimization
Simple Process, Massive Impact
Our proven system helps mission-driven organizations turn their goals into behavior-shifting digital campaigns—without overloading internal teams.
1. Align
Every project begins with a strategy session where we dive deeplyinto your goals, audiences, and messaging challenges.
We’ll leave with everything needed to build a campaign that reflects your mission—and drives action.
2. Build
From messaging and creative to targeting and paid media, our team builds your digital campaign.
We design everything to resonate with the right people, on the right platforms.
3. Launch and Learn
We activate your campaign and optimize continuously.
We monitor results, refine what’s not working, and double down on what is—turning insights into real-world outcomes.
4. Scale
Using our learnings from step 3, we turn up the volume on your campaign, turning insights into real-world outcomes that advance your mission at scale.
Results That Better the World
Teen Vaping in Summit County Has Dropped 82% Since 2017
Our work helped fuel the fastest phase of that change.
In 2017, over 40% of Summit High School students reported vaping. Community leaders, public health officials, and schools began taking action.
In January 2021, we launched Vaping Sucks — a behavior change campaign designed to engage teens through sharp messaging, digital storytelling, and youth-driven creative.
From 2021 to 2023 alone, use dropped by over 50%.
From 2017 to 2023, it plummeted by 82%.
We are honored to help lead the digital front in a broader community effort—one that is changing social norms, and improving lives.
And our work is still going strong.

A Rebrand that Led to 1.5 Million Impressions
Our work helped spark a powerful transformation for ARISE.
In early 2024, Summit Advocates partnered with us to reimagine their brand, raise awareness, and drive deeper engagement with the people they serve.
We launched a full rebrand—introducing ARISE, a name and identity that reflects hope, strength, and upward movement for survivors.
To amplify their mission, we produced a suite of digital assets:
-
Testimonial videos from survivors and volunteers.
-
Bilingual creative and service explainer content.
-
A refreshed website experience and targeted. outreach strategy.
-
A multiplatform digital marketing campaign to spread awareness.
The result? A 25% increase in funding, allowing ARISE to expand its reach and deepen its impact across Summit County.
Connecting 2,200+ People to Life-Saving Opioid Resources
Our work helps fight the opioid crisis - one connection at a time.
In 2023, we partnered with the Region 5 Opioid Abatement Council to launch Community Compass—a digital campaign designed to connect residents in Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin, Lake, and Summit counties to local, life-saving resources.
These resort-rural communities face unique barriers to care. So we built a campaign rooted in accessibility, community trust, and targeted outreach.
We launched:
-
A mobile-friendly resource directory
-
Geo-targeted social ads across all five counties
-
Messaging that prioritized hope, recovery, and connection
In just one year, Community Compass helped guide individuals to over 2,200 critical resource connections—from treatment centers to naloxone access and beyond.
