The Challenge

A mission-driven team that needed to run digital with confidence

Thorne Harbour Health is a Melbourne-based NGO delivering vital health and community programs. Their communications team was committed and capable, but digital marketing was not their specialty — and like most not-for-profits, every dollar needed to work twice as hard.

Campaigns were running across Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and SEO, but without the structural foundations in place. Account setups, audience building, and keyword strategy hadn't been established in a repeatable way, which made it hard to know what was working and why.

The team also struggled to interpret analytics meaningfully. GA4 was a black box, and there was no consistent reporting layer that linked spend to outcomes. What they needed wasn't an agency to take over — it was a training partner who could lift the team's capability across four core channels and leave behind tools they could use long after training ended.

What We Did

Bespoke training across four channels, plus reporting they actually use

Our work with Thorne Harbour focused on giving the team practical, context-specific training paired with tools that kept them independent after the sessions wrapped up.

1

1-1 training across Facebook Ads, Google Ads, SEO, and GA4

Delivered tailored one-on-one training sessions across four channels, using the team's own accounts and campaigns as the teaching material — so every concept was immediately applicable.

2

Account structuring and audience building

Coached the team on how to structure campaigns, ad sets, and audiences properly so each campaign had a clear hypothesis and measurable outcomes instead of blurred performance data.

3

Bespoke SEO training

Ran a custom SEO training program covering keyword research, on-page optimisation, and how to build organic visibility for specific health and community programs the organisation runs.

4

Custom Looker Studio dashboards

Built bespoke Looker Studio dashboards that pulled key metrics into one clean view — so the team could monitor performance across channels in real time without wrangling GA4 manually.
