“With a strict no-harassment fundraising policy, Cat Protection depends on telling our story and letting people decide themselves whether they want to join in our mission. Awareness is therefore hugely important to us, and having Rocketseed on board has provided us with a friendly and positive platform to promote our cause. It is practical, adaptable and does a great job presenting our brand. Moreover, it has been successful in engaging new audiences.”
