Pareto Fundraising would like to congratulate Amnesty international Australia for their fifth placement in the International Direct Marketing Association’s ECHO Awards.  In the awards ceremony hosted by Jay Leno in Las Vegas on October 15th, Amnesty International’s Bring Home David Hick’s Campaign was announced as the only Australian campaign to reach the finals of the not-for-profit category.

“Amnesty were courageous to embark on such a creative project and the enthusiasm with which people responded illustrates how well the idea captured the public’s attention.” said Dan Geaves, Group Account Director, Pareto Fundraising.

We’re proud to announce, no – let me rephrase. We’re absolutely ‘PUMPED’ with today’s news from our Northern American friends. The Canadian arm of the world’s leading human rights organisation, Amnesty International, have just signed with Pareto Fundraising. Making them our first North American client.

Headed up by Regional Director Jonathan Grapsas, the Pareto Fundraising team has worked tirelessly to spread the Pareto Fundraising word since opening the Toronto office earlier this year. Initial plans are for Major Donor mentoring, there progressive nature however is best reflected in the words of Jonathon: “Keen to be early adopters, Amnesty were also the first Canadian charity to sign up to Pareto Fundraising benchmarking… Go Amnesty!”

This exciting step ignites what hopes to be the start of a successful and rewarding fundraising partnership. And we could not be more excited.

One of Pareto’s creations has recently made its debut in Miami. Hot on the heels of winning a Silver ADMA award in the “Alternative Media Category” in November, the replica Guantánamo Bay prison cell was despatched off to the US. The livery of the cell was changed as you’ll see from this work in progress http://www.flickr.com/photos/counter-terror-with-justice/2438239247/in/photostream/ but the basic concept remains the same as Amnesty International calls for US supporters to experience Guantánamo Bay in their home towns.

Here’s to the cell for following the sun and helping to keep the campaign alive.
