Traditional welcome packs were print-heavy and slow, arriving weeks after a donation, when emotional connection was already fading.
Print materials took weeks to arrive, missing the moment when customers were most engaged.
Supporters questioned why they were receiving printed materials while Greenpeace actively campaigns against deforestation.
Welcome packs contained too much content, overwhelming new supporters instead of inspiring them.
Led the design and delivery of a digital first welcome experience rooted in storytelling, focused on clarity, transparency and human connection.
Placed the digital welcome pack inside the first welcome email to remove friction and make it easy to access
Treated the pack as a self guided space customers could explore at their own pace
Designed the experience specifically for mobile, where most supporters engage
Used scrollytelling and short, focused sections to make information easy to absorb
Showed how donations are used and how decisions are made
Clearly explained how Greenpeace operates globally and locally, as many customers were unaware of this
Highlighted non-financial actions so supporters could participate in the movement, not just donate
Framed Greenpeace as a community people can belong to, not just an organisation
Results are based on internal campaign reporting. Rounded or projected figures are identified where applicable.
Engagement in the first month
Customers actively engaged with the welcome pack shortly after donating, showing strong early interest and trust.
Mobile open rate
Mobile open rates exceeded typical welcome journey benchmarks, indicating strong relevance and timing.
Higher early engagement signals
Higher early interaction compared to previous print led welcome packs, with positive indicators for early retention and ongoing engagement.
Trust grows when supporters feel informed and aligned with values, not sold to
Timing matters, the first hours after donation are when engagement is highest
Mobile-first design is essential for reaching customers where they already are
Less content, clearly focused, helps people feel confident rather than overwhelmed
