Work With Us

What works for one nonprofit doesn’t necessarily work for another

That’s why our working relationship starts with the Brand Benchmark.

We’ll dig deep and get to know everything about your organization — where you are, where you’ve been, and where you want to go.

During your two-hour Brand Benchmark process, we’ll uncover opportunities and provide a strategy-focused, actionable plan, so you know what to do to move your organization forward.

When we’re done, you’ll receive a plan that includes:

Specific opportunities to improve your brand awareness and better reach your clients, volunteers, and donors
Clear recommendations on how to achieve your branding and marketing goals in the short and long term
A prioritized action plan prepared by our chief strategist and reviewed by our creative team

A Brand Benchmark provides you with the clarity you need to take the next right step for your organization.

Project-Based Work

This is ideal for nonprofit marketing projects with a clearly defined scope and predetermined timeline, budget, and deliverables.

Phased Engagements

This option works well when the scope of a project needs an approach broken into distinct phases that better align with your needs, budget, and goals.

Retainers

Looking for streamlined communications, predictable costs, and consistent and reliable support from a trusted team? This option is ideal for you.

Reach your goals with solutions that support you, and those you support.

Solutions to your unique branding and marketing needs should be more than a list of common deliverables.

Our custom-built packages, informed by your Brand Benchmark, ensure solutions we bring to the table are strategic and fit your nonprofit’s branding needs so that you can reach your goals faster and with focus.
