Event Description
Economic realities have dictated much change in marketing strategies, both for businesses and nonprofits. But they've also opened up a world of possibilities! Now more than ever, consumers and supporters are looking for relevant, emotional connections. There is no better time to redefine how we engage with the world around us.
Through a case study involving the Deschutes Public Library's new brand launch, we'll explore:
- How to best communicate what you do
- How to make meaningful connections with your audience
- How to capture attention in an overwhelming world
Join 14 Hands and the Deschutes Public Library for a look at how one nonprofit has positioned itself in this changing climate. They'll talk about the unique challenges that often result in diluted messages—and how to get around it. Find out how to recognize what gets in the way of your organization's ability to connect with supporters, and leave inspired to uncover your organization's marketing potential.
