                              Charity fundraising in the UK was a deep red ocean when Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day started. Costs were up and donations were down. To stand out from the crowd, organizations had to work harder at fundraising and marketing. Yet Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day rapidly achieved 96 percent national brand awareness and has now raised over £1 billion without spending anything on marketing.
