Direct Response TV (DRTV)

Scalable Strategies for Donor Growth

Reach new audiences. Inspire meaningful action. Deliver measurable results.

Direct Response Television (DRTV) remains one of the most powerful drivers of nonprofit acquisition and awareness—especially when guided by data, science, and strategy. At Moore, we go beyond television spots to build high-performance, full-funnel DRTV campaigns that increase conversions, maximize donor lifetime value, and lift results across your entire fundraising program.

Precision Audience Targeting

By combining SimioCloud’s AI-powered audience modeling with Moore’s proprietary DRTV performance database, we pinpoint the exact networks, dayparts, and programs where your message is most likely to convert. This isn’t guesswork—it’s predictive performance.

Creative That Converts

Our award-winning spots are validated through Moore’s exclusive Neuro-Fundraising® Lab, where biometric and emotional response testing ensures your message doesn’t just resonate—it drives donors to act.

Real-Time Media Optimization

Every DRTV campaign is continuously monitored and optimized in-flight. Using real-time response data, we refine media placements, allocate spend with precision, and maximize ROI down to the dollar.

Cross-Channel Lift

DRTV isn’t a siloed effort—it’s a catalyst. With Moore, the right DRTV strategy amplifies performance across direct mail, digital, search, social, and SMS, driving higher conversion rates and greater donor lifetime value.

Comprehensive Reach

We use advanced audience modeling to target TV viewers who most resemble your current donors—maximizing conversion potential. At the same time, program-based advertising extends reach to entirely new households, enabling you to acquire first-time donors at scale and diversify your file beyond what digital or direct mail alone can deliver.

Billions of Impressions, Measurable Impact

The Leader in DRTV

In the last year alone, Moore placed 35 billion video ad impressions—a scale that delivers unmatched buying power to secure the industry’s lowest rates. More importantly, every impression fuels our data engine, continuously sharpening predictive models that identify, convert, and retain your next donor with greater accuracy.
