Does the day-to-day inconsistency of your organization’s brand messages stress you out?
Brand messaging development in the nonprofit sector is often treated as an afterthought. You know that clear brand messaging builds authority, increases public trust and encourages deeper engagement with a brand. However, when it lacks clarity or tailoring, you’re stuck following orders that lead you to the same undesired results, such as:
- Lack of online engagement
- Diminishing thought leadership
- Zero alignment between content and organizational mission, vision and values
- Marketing tactics that look like spam
You need a service that allows you to show the heart of your organization’s work. My brand messaging service is the most effective way to stop trying to reach “everyone” and start reaching the right target audiences.

What’s in brand messaging?
Brand messaging helps you communicate the right messages to the right audiences in words they understand.

Nothing wrong with wanting to look sharp.
A sound brand messaging development process includes:
- Overview of your goals and objectives

- Alignment with your strategic documents
- Developed or clarified key messages
- Strong brand positioning
