The Movement Marketing Course

One course. Two routes.

Movement marketing runs on the same mechanics for every organisation, but the language, examples and KPIs differ. Choose the route built for your team, or scroll on for the four modules, your coaches, pricing and FAQs.

No need to start over

This course sits on top of your existing marketing

You do not need a marketing qualification and you do not have to throw away anything that is already working. Movement marketing does not replace traditional fundraising or digital marketing best practices. It sits on top of your existing channels, campaigns and social activity and gives you a practical framework for how you reach, convert and retain donors or customers more effectively, without simply increasing spend.

Which version is built for you?

For Charities

Build supporter movements, not one-off campaigns.

Most charities run campaigns. Movements keep donors and supporters coming back. Built for charity teams of one to three who need evidence, not more theory. CFG members receive a discount.

For Small Businesses

Turn your values into customers who return and refer.

Most marketing campaigns spike, then stop. Movements compound. Built for SME owners and in-house teams of one to three who want a better return on spend, more repeat business and more referrals - without an agency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions, answered.

General questions

What is movement marketing?

Movement marketing is organising people around a shared belief and giving them a clear role and a simple action to take. Growth comes from people getting involved, feeling like they belong and telling others, not just from ads or one-off appeals. Unlike a traditional campaign that ends on a deadline, a movement keeps going because the people in it keep it alive.

Who is this course for?

Charities and small businesses with small teams who feel stuck in a cycle of constant reacquisition. For charities: heads of fundraising, comms officers, heads of partnerships and CEOs, especially teams of one to three. For SMEs: marketing managers, heads of sales and founders who are caught on a paid-ads treadmill and want a repeatable system that builds loyalty and referrals instead.

How does it lower costs?

When supporters and customers become advocates who bring others in, you rely less on paid advertising and cold outreach. McKinsey research shows this kind of approach can reduce acquisition costs by up to 50% and lift revenues by 5 to 15%.

Do we need every platform?

No. The course teaches you to focus on one or two channels you can genuinely sustain rather than being everywhere and doing everything badly. Focus beats omnipresence every time.

Is this just purpose marketing?

No. Purpose marketing usually stops at a message and cause marketing can feel transactional. Movement marketing goes further by adding participation loops so people keep taking action and coming back over time. The goal is real community and advocacy rather than just making a bold claim.

Will this replace my marketing?

No. Movement marketing works alongside your existing marketing, not instead of it. You keep your positioning, channels, campaigns and funnels and layer movement mechanics on top, so your existing work starts to compound over time instead of resetting every quarter.

What is a movement moment?

A focused 30-day campaign that sits inside your longer ongoing movement. It creates a spike of participation and sharing, but with loops built in so engagement carries on after the moment ends. Think of it as a campaign within a movement.

How long does the course take?

Roughly eight to ten hours across four self-paced modules, with worksheets you can apply from the first hour. Module 1 alone takes about two hours and gives you a KPI Baseline Tracker you can put in front of your board straight away. Because you have lifetime access, you can go faster or slower without losing progress.

For charities

Can I do this solo?

Yes. Everything is designed for teams of one to three. You pick one or two channels, build a small number of repeatable content themes and create a simple monthly rhythm with one clear action at the heart of it. It is designed around what is sustainable, not what looks impressive on a plan.

How do I prove this works?

You track early signals: repeat actions, advocacy behaviour and community growth, alongside your actual income or retention numbers. The early signals show progress before the final results land, so you can demonstrate momentum to a board while the campaign is still live. Daryl Woodhouse built a commercial hygiene session in Module 1 specifically for this.

What is the easiest first action?

Something simple that takes less than a minute and involves no admin on your side: sharing a story, signing up for updates, attending a short event, taking a pledge or joining a small challenge. Make the first step so easy that people actually do it, then design the loop to bring them back.

Will this help grant applications?

Yes. The course is designed to produce evidence that funders and trustees actually look for: a clear Movement Story, a Supporter Journey Map, baseline KPIs and a one-page activation dashboard. You finish with measurable signals of engagement, repeat behaviour and community growth that you can drop straight into grant narratives, impact reports and bid documents. Most charities tell us their first usable output is the KPI Baseline Tracker from Module 1, which gives funders confidence that you know your numbers before you ask for theirs.

For businesses

How does it lower customer cost?

When your customers become advocates who bring others in, your community becomes a distribution engine. You need less paid reach to hit the same results because more growth comes from repeat behaviour and referrals rather than cold campaigns.

What role do our staff play?

They are your first community. If your employees do not believe what you are saying or cannot repeat your story, your movement loses credibility before it reaches anyone externally. The course teaches internal alignment first.

Does this work for any product?

Yes. The mechanics, shared belief, proof, participation and community loops, work across sectors. The course includes examples from global brands, SMEs and charities so you can see the same principles at very different scales and apply them to your own context.

How fast will I see results?

Early signals such as repeat behaviour, referrals and community growth typically show within the first 30-day campaign you run from the course. Compounding revenue impact builds over the following quarters as your customer base retains and refers more. Bain and Wharton research suggests even small lifts in retention can drive 25 to 95% profit growth and 16 to 25% higher lifetime value, so the longer you run the system, the bigger the gap with your competitors becomes.

Pricing, access & support

How much does this course cost?

Cohort Summer 2026: Module 1 Early Bird £97 + VAT (RRP £797). SMEs and Organisations £497 + VAT. Charities, CICs and Not-for-Profits £397 + VAT (charity number verified within 48 hours). Charity Finance Group Members £297 + VAT (membership number required). If you start with the £97 Module 1 Early Bird, your £97 is credited against the relevant full course price when the full course is ready from Autumn 2026.

Can I go at my own pace?

Yes. The modules build on each other in order, but you have lifetime access so you can learn at whatever pace works for you and come back to any module at any time.

What platform hosts the course?

Teachable. Videos work on desktop and mobile, you just need an internet connection. No special software and no downloads needed.

What is your refund policy?

Because this is a digital self-paced course, please read the 'Who this course is for' section carefully before enrolling. If you are genuinely unhappy or feel it is not as described, contact us within 14 days of purchase. Every full course enrolment funds 100 meals through Felix, so we cannot promise refunds in all circumstances, but we can promise a fair human conversation and a clear outcome.

What makes this different

Why is this course unique?

It is built on 75 years of combined experience from practitioners who have run real movements with real clients. Proof, not theory. Every principle is transferable, from blue-chip corporations to one-person teams. Playbooks drawn from a global energy company operating across 75 countries, a national museum group welcoming 2 million visitors across 72 plus venues, Alderney Tourism (35% visitor growth) and East Anglian Air Ambulance and Busseys (£2,250 raised from 75 test drives in a single weekend). Designed for small teams, with an Authenticity Fit Check and ethics lens in every module, lifetime access and full accessibility.

What real results have you delivered?

Alderney Tourism delivered 35% visitor growth on reduced budgets. EAAA and Busseys Ford raised £2,250 and recruited a new volunteer from a single weekend test-drive event. Smartflow Finance grew from £8 million to £28 million in under three years. A national museum programme reached more than two million visitors across 70 plus venues in under a year, with 55% of visits unplanned. Every result came from running the same movement marketing system you learn in the course
