Expertise that convinces
We turn good ideas into campaigns backers understand in seconds and happily share.
Crowdfunding consulting from Vienna
We turn your idea into a campaign people want to fund.
A strong idea is rarely enough on its own. What decides a campaign is the concept, the design, the story and the way you talk to backers. We guide your crowdfunding project from strategy to a successful finish.
- Strategy and workshop
- Campaign and content
- Marketing and optimisation
Why Zensations?
So attention turns into support.
Crowdfunding compresses funding, brand building and community work into a few weeks. That is why we combine strategic preparation, strong creative work and consistent communication.
A strategy built for you
Goal, audience, funding model and storyline are tailored precisely to your project.
End to end support
From the first idea to the final day we keep content, design and delivery in one hand.
Marketing you can measure
Creative communication meets data, continuous analysis and optimisation during the campaign.
Network and reach
We help you activate multipliers, existing communities and the backers who really matter.
Crowdfunding consulting
Everything your campaign needs before and during the launch.
Consulting and workshops
We sharpen the idea, the goal, the audience, the funding need, the rewards and the story behind the project.
Platform selection
We compare Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Startnext and Wemakeit by audience, market, fees and funding model.
Campaign design
Concept, creative work and production of a convincing campaign page with a clear visual storyline.
Pitch video
We develop story, structure and briefing and support you through the production of a credible pitch video.
Communication strategy
Messages, channels, editorial plan, social media, content marketing and PR work as one plan.
Email and pre-campaigning
Before launch day we build reach, activate contacts and prepare the decisive first 48 hours.
Community management
We structure updates and the ongoing conversation with interested people, backers and stakeholders.
Continuous optimisation
We watch the signals, test messages and adjust content and activities while funding is live.

Frequently asked questions about crowdfunding campaigns.
Already have an idea or a platform in mind? In a first call we look at your starting point and the next sensible steps.
- Which crowdfunding platform is right?
- It depends on audience, market, project type and funding model. We compare Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Startnext and Wemakeit among others and recommend the platform that fits your project.
- How long does a campaign run?
- The public funding phase often lasts around 30 days. Strategy, content, community building and pre-campaigning start much earlier.
- When should marketing start?
- Before the launch. A campaign should not start looking for an audience on day one. We plan reach, multipliers and first backers during preparation.
- Does Zensations also handle delivery?
- Yes. Besides consulting and workshops we take on campaign design, content, pitch video support, email marketing, social media and ongoing optimisation.
- Can a failed campaign be relaunched?
- Yes, if the learnings are properly evaluated and goal, offer, timing or communication improve. Our article on relaunching shows the key levers.
