Growth strategy for mission-driven work

Campaign-tested strategy for organizations ready to grow.

I help nonprofits, campaigns, agencies, and growing businesses find their audience, build the systems that turn attention into action, and grow with confidence. Fifteen years on the campaign trail taught me to move fast, measure everything, and make every dollar count.

Approach

Growth runs on structure.

When growth stalls, the cause is usually structural: the audience is unclear, the systems that bring people in are leaking, or the team is stretched past what its operations can carry. I start by finding which of these is holding you back, then build the pieces you need to move forward.

Who are we trying to reach?

Audience

Finding the people most likely to act, and reaching them through email, SMS, search, and social.

Why should they care?

Positioning

A clear story and offer that make your work easy to understand, support, and buy.

How does interest become revenue?

Revenue systems

Sales pipelines, fundraising programs, pricing, and the reporting that shows what is working.

Can the team sustain it?

People and operations

Mentoring and operational structure that help teams scale without burning out.

Services

Senior expertise, sized to what you need.

Bring me in for a focused project, an ongoing advisory role, or as fractional growth leadership. Every engagement ends with clear priorities and plain-language reporting.

Email and SMS Programs

Deliverability audits, list growth, and automated programs that turn subscribers into supporters and customers into regulars.

  • Deliverability and inbox placement
  • Lapsed audience reactivation
  • Compliant SMS and loyalty programs

Paid Media

Google, Meta, and YouTube campaigns built to measure, with Google Ad Grant support for eligible nonprofits.

Sales and Growth Infrastructure

The systems behind new business: offers, pricing, proposals, and a pipeline your team will actually use.

  • Service packaging and pricing
  • Proposal and pitch templates
  • Pipeline design and tracking

Positioning and Communications

Messaging that makes your value obvious to the people you most need to reach, from donors to buyers.

  • Campaign messaging
  • Audience research

Fractional Growth Leadership

Senior strategy for agencies and organizations without a full-time hire, on calls with your clients or behind the scenes.

Built for people doing work that matters.

My roots are in campaigns and causes. The same discipline of reaching people, earning trust, and proving results applies anywhere growth matters.

Ways to work together

Start small. Scale when it works.

Most clients begin with a focused project or short pilot, then move to a monthly retainer once we know what is driving results.

Monthly

Advisory retainer

A set number of senior hours each month for strategy and campaign support.

Embedded

Partnership

White label

Agencies bill at their own rate and keep the margin while I deliver under their name.

About

Gabrielle Rizza

I've spent more than fifteen years in digital marketing, most of it on political and advocacy campaigns. Tight deadlines and public scrutiny sharpened my ability to quickly identify audiences and turn interest into action.

Since 2018, I've served as Partner and Chief Growth Officer at Authentic Campaigns, a national leader in digital fundraising and advertising, where I've helped raise over $1 billion for campaigns, nonprofits, and social impact organizations. I've led the client services and Growth departments and built the sales operation from the ground up.

I'm known for my work in email and SMS deliverability, revitalizing lapsed audiences, and mentoring teams to build stronger, more inclusive operations. Rizza Strategies brings that experience to organizations and businesses ready for their next stage of growth.
