Event Description

Like the many changes we’ve seen in nearly every aspect of the nonprofit sector, marketing has been no exception. In response to a changing news and media landscape, an ever-growing set of interactive online tools, and a new economic reality, we’re redefining how we engage with the world around us.

We’ll explore:

  • How you communicate what you do
  • When you connect, and why this is as important as what you say
  • Challenges to meaningful communication

Join Pyramid Communications for a look at how your nonprofit can position itself in this changing climate. Primarily serving the nonprofit and public sectors, they understand the unique challenges that result in sometimes diluted messaging. 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.
