Helping our clients move away from the all-too-common practice of self-diagnosing their own marketing and communications problems often leads to brand breakthroughs that propel their organizations forward. In our experience, it’s really hard to read the label from inside the bottle. While you may have important insights about the state of your brand, problems get solved when ministries welcome objective input from experts who care about advancing their mission.

At the start of a new year, it’s not uncommon to come up with a list of things you intend to change or do differently. When you’re given a clean slate, it triggers a reflective pause: What do I want my life to look like at the end of this year? What do I need to keep doing? What do I need to stop doing?

Businesses and charities all know that you need to thank your customers and donors. But do they do it? When was the last time you thanked your most loyal customers — those who put their trust in you and your products? Or, if you’re leading a charity, how often do you express your gratitude to those who part ways with their hard-earned money to help you advance your mission?

Successful Giving Tuesday campaigns don't happen overnight. Begin planning well in advance to create a comprehensive strategy, and to start acquiring names, emails and phones numbers.  

Email marketing remains one of the most effective ways to connect with your audience and drive donations. However, with inboxes flooded daily, it's essential to follow best practices to ensure your emails stand out and achieve your desired outcomes.
