Sumbon (Sum + bon) means “Addition” (i.e., the sum) “of all good” (i.e., bon = French for good). It’s a global online platform that connects donors and nonprofits in a meaningful and sustainable way. Sumbon was designed by Abhay Tewari – a former Apple Engineer – who quit his prestigious job and started his company because he believed that there should be an easier way for donors to find reputable nonprofits to help.

Their Requirements
Like many of our other customers, we first met Sumbon when they were struggling to market their platform to customers. However, they had a double-edged problem – without Donors, Nonprofits wouldn’t be interested in signing up for their platform. On the other hand, without Nonprofits, there was nothing to attract Donors. The challenge, then, was to find a way to grow both user bases at the same time.
Our Solution
We started by focusing on donors and set up a robust Content Marketing campaign that included Social Media Marketing, Blog Articles, Newsletters, and Landing pages focused on spreading the word about Sumbon.
We also tried a successful experiment with Influencer Marketing, where a famous “mom blogger” wrote an article about Sumbon and helped us reach a new audience. After we got a sufficient number of donors, we pivoted to Nonprofits and helped Sumbon reach new customers through Lead Generation and Newsletters.
Benefits
By the time we were done, we’d helped Sumbon get more interest from the Nonprofits community, close more deals, and increased the number of donations made through their platform.
