April 17, 2025by Mariah Elbert0

At Ventura Growth, we believe in using our expertise to drive impact beyond advertising. Through Ventura Impact, our social impact initiative, we partner with organizations that are making a real difference in our communities. This quarter, we teamed up with Colorado Pet Pantry, a nonprofit dedicated to keeping pets with their families by providing pet food and supplies to those in need. Read on to learn more about Ventura Impact x Colorado Pet Pantry.

 

Driving Donations with Programmatic Advertising

As experts in programmatic advertising, we knew we could help Colorado Pet Pantry expand its reach and boost support. In March, Ventura Impact ran three targeted campaigns across Colorado—delivering over 560,000 impressions to raise awareness, promote the annual auction, and drive donations.

Using Online Video (OLV) and Display ads, we tapped into past donor data and email lists to re-engage warm audiences. The “Animal Enthusiasts” segment showed the highest engagement, helping us efficiently reach those most likely to support the cause.

With CPCs as low as $1.18, the campaign exceeded performance expectations—reaching thousands of unique Coloradans that played a supporting role in driving 10 new auction participants and contributing to the overall fundraising success of over $25,000 for Colorado Pet Pantry.

Our goal was simple: create meaningful digital engagement that drives real-world impact. And the results speak for themselves.

 

Rolling Up Our Sleeves: Volunteering in Denver

Beyond digital impact, our team also took hands-on action. In March, Ventura employees came together at Colorado Pet Pantry’s Denver location to volunteer. We spent the day sorting through donations of dog food, toys, leashes, and other pet essentials, ensuring they would reach the families who need them most. It was a powerful reminder of how small actions—both online and in person—can add up to meaningful change.
