Cheerity is a digital and social campaign builder in a box. The platform lets you easily create and track activations that are designed for new donor acquisition (or customer) acquisition. Build social photo campaigns, then launch and manage them in a snap. Each time a supporter clicks to add their photo to a frame that communicates your mission and brand, your campaign reaches larger audiences. With a paid account, you get real data from social, including names and emails. Export that data to your CRM to help you qualify new donors, cultivate them and measure ROI based on your social engagement.
Cheerity is for any organization, company, group or even individual looking to launch a digital activation designed to engage and grow a community. Our customers use Cheerity for visual petitions, awareness campaigns, digital organizing, cause marketing campaigns, pledge campaigns and more.
You’ll need to create an account to build and launch a Cheerity campaign. People participating in the campaigns you build with Cheerity will never be asked to create an account.
If you are looking to engage and grow your community and are interested in getting more out of social media, you’ll like Cheerity. The product also solves for the problem of new donor acquisition. There is a peer-to-peer referral mechanism built into the activations to let you leverage existing supporters to bring in their friends.

Frames are pngs with a transparent background. The specifications are in your campaign builder. You can create frames using the same tools your organization would normally use, like Photoshop or Illustrator. We also have a number of Canva templates that make it even easier. More about campaign frames here.
Yes, there are no limits to how many campaigns you can run or run simultaneously. You can create as many as you’d like.
When you’re finished building your campaign, you can set it to live. You’d take the link and push it out through all your communication channels. That includes posts on social media, but also promotion via email, SMS, on your website. You can even use influencers to help get the message out.
Yes, you can customize the wrapper of your campaign to look like your brand or website. Add your logo, set your colors, pick from a selection of fonts and upload your frame art. Add campaign copy that conveys the tone of your organization. This is your campaign!
Your Cheerity campaign builder and dashboard is optimized for desktop. This is where you will build, launch and monitor your campaigns. The campaigns themselves are optimized for mobile and work seamlessly inside the in-app browsers of any social network for easy participation. Of course your participant can join from desktop as well.
Yes, we provide embed codes for your campaign, or just the photo gallery of your campaign that can be embedded on any website or landing page.
Your campaign will collect user generated content in the form of photos added by participants in the campaign. These photos come with a license for you to use them for marketing purposes, which includes promoting your campaign. Behind the scenes, we collect data on where your participants live, what social networks they are joining from and sharing too, what their influence in the campaign is and much more. We report on this in realtime in the analytics area of your dashboard, which is accessible to customers with a paid account. Participants are also invited to provide their name and email, which is always optional. You can export participant data from your Cheerity dashboard. At the free tier, you do not have access to data, though there is no limit to participation. You can, however, upgrade to unlock your data. At the Enterprise level, you can connect directly to your CRM. You also can choose to add additional data fields, which may include ZIP code, phone number, or custom field.
If you have a paid account, we store data for a year after your campaign or your subscription has ended unless you choose to delete it sooner. You will still be able to access your data, but will not be able to access data for any campaigns running or started if your subscription has lapsed.
Your rights to the user generated content and data collected in your campaigns is governed by Cheerity’s Terms of Use. Before they can join in, participants have to acknowledge these terms and our Privacy Policy, that also includes our cookie policy. The entire process adheres to GDPR and CCPA compliance. All the UGC captured is licensed for immediate use in marketing, including to promote the campaign.
Your Cheerity dashboard has tools to curate your gallery. You can sort, bookmark, hide and delete photos from your user-facing gallery and save photos (with or without frame) to your computer. At the Plus and Teams tier, you can additionally download your entire collection of UGC, or use a data range filter.
No they can’t. The reason we don't offer them up on our website is that they are branded for our customers, and we are the technology that powers them. Therefore, the campaigns are advertisements for the customer and not Cheerity. We do have case studies that feature some of our customers’ campaigns.
All customers with a paid account have access to data, but CRM integration is only available at the Enterprise level. We currently integrate with a number of CRMs and marketing enablement platforms for Enterprise customers, including Hubspot, NationBuilder, EveryAction, ActiveCampaign, SalesForce and Salsa. If you subscribe through one of our partners your data will also flow directly into your CRM.
Cheerity is used by many charitable organizations for awareness campaigns, donor cultivation and to bring in new supporters. The tool does not currently support in-flow consumer donations. Additionally, you have the option to add a second call to action at the end of the experience that could direct participants to your donation page.
One popular template can be used for cause marketing campaigns with sponsors. In these campaigns participants unlock a (corporate) donation by adding their photo. Typically, each photo can represent a monetary unlock ($5 dollars, for instance) or an emotional equivalency (a meal for a family in need). The unlocked donation template shows two counters, tracking both participation and charitable impact.
Cheerity is not a social scheduler. It’s a platform to build, launch and manage social media campaigns that can then be shared across social media. You would do that using all of the tools you currently use.
Cheerity campaigns scale automatically and can handle millions of concurrent visits. At the enterprise level, we support large customers with campaigns that receive significant promotion, including by influencers. Free and paid accounts benefit from the same infrastructure.
Yes! And your campaigns will automatically be compliant with evolving privacy regulation, including GDPR and CCPA. Unless you limit your campaigns to be accessible only from the United States and/or Canada, they will be accessible from anywhere in the world. Of course, you should expect people to participate based on where and to whom you promote.
Per our Terms of Use, data collected in a Cheerity belongs to the person or organization that created the account and can also be used by Cheerity for our legitimate business interests in providing a platform that enables people to connect with causes and issues of interest. Enterprise-level customers own their data outright.
