1d ago26:46

26:46

We explore the s…

Getting Community Input Without Getting Derailed 27:16

9d ago27:16

27:16

"This looks great. Let me just get the board's input." Those words strike fear into the heart of every social impact leader. You've poured your heart and soul into a project, only to have it potentially derailed at the last minute. But what if getting community input didn't have to be so terrifying? What if there was a way to gather feedback that a…

When (and How) to Take Big Risks 24:13

23d ago24:13

24:13

The social impact sector isn’t known for being very risky. In fact, it’s often quite the opposite. Too many orgs play it safe, afraid of over-scrutinization (the double standard is real here) and hoping to protect their mission and resources. But here’s the thing — sometimes the most dangerous thing is playing it too safe. In this episode, Jonathan…

Brand Building is Hard to Measure. Here’s How You Do It 29:07

1M ago29:07

29:07

Struggling to measure the impact of your branding and marketing efforts? You're not alone. Ironically, the more analytics tools we have to measure the success of our marketing efforts, the harder it seems to know what’s actually working. This is especially true of broader brand marketing efforts, which are harder to measure and don’t play nice with…

Justifying the Investment in Brand Building 20:07

1M ago20:07

20:07

Branding/marketing isn’t going to do anything for your org…if you can’t fund it in the first place. Unfortunately, justifying the investment in this work — both money AND capacity — for social impact orgs doesn’t come as easily as it might for other sectors. And right now everyone is still stuck in the “do more with less” mentality. Here’s how to m…

Why Social Impact Brands Under Invest in Brand and Marketing 19:46

2M ago19:46

19:46

Social impact orgs aren’t known for being great at branding and marketing. But it's NOT just about limited resources — there's a deeper story here. There’s some big obstacles in the way, like: → The "overhead myth" that just won't die (KILL IT WITH FIRE) → A false dichotomy between choosing to invest in fundraising OR marketing (you need both) → Th…

Cosmetic vs. Strategic Branding 23:54

2M ago23:54

23:54

Branding is about far more than just slick, eye-catching aesthetics. What truly transforms an organization is a brand built on vision and strategy. Without a clear strategy, positioning, and messaging, the aesthetic elements like logos, fonts, and colors won’t do anything to create lasting impact. Branding goes beyond visuals. It’s about aligning e…

Are You Using Your Power or Giving it Away? 21:37

2M ago21:37

21:37

Far too many social impact orgs are giving their power away — and they don’t even know they’re doing it. There’s a fundamental tension in the social impact space. A tension between the generosity that powers this sector and the need for social impact brands to leverage their power so they can make a true impact. But when this healthy tension strays…

Core Values That Actually Work 16:20

3M ago16:20

16:20

Core brand values aren’t just fluffy words you put on posters. But without the right approach, that’s all they’ll ever be. Core brand values — when done right — can be absolutely transformative for your organization’s culture, effectiveness, and impact. But you can’t just come up with 5 words that all start with the letter “R” and call it a day. So…

What Makes a Great Social Impact Marketing Team? 35:22

3M ago35:22

35:22

What makes an EXCEPTIONAL social impact marketing team? Often, when we get this question from clients, they are trying to determine what ROLES to hire for. But that’s putting the cart before the horse. Instead, it’s best to think about the QUALITIES and CULTURE of a successful marketing philosophy for your brand. Because you can build a highly-skil…

Your brand is not your logo. It’s not your fonts, or your colors, or your voice. It’s not your content. It’s not your mission. Your brand is: ↳ Whether you come through on the promises you make to your community ↳ The actions you take ↳ How your team shows up each and every day But what happens when you paint a picture of those values and promises,…

When You Should (and Shouldn’t) Rebrand 28:54

4M ago28:54

28:54

You probably shouldn’t rebrand your social impact organization. Except, of course, when you really should. (wait, what?) Because when the conditions are right, a rebrand can be one of the most powerful ways to reach your mission faster. But how do you know when it’s the right time to invest in a rebrand? Let’s be real: a rebrand is a big swing move…

Is your social impact brand attracting enough revenue to power your mission and build a healthy, sustainable organization?

Is community in decline, or is the way we’re participating just changing? The data and statistics, as always, are messy. And there’s valid opinions and arguments supporting different trends here.

25:21

Are websites a dying relic of the internet’s past? With so much of our digital engagement today happening through social channels, there’s an ever-growing narrative that your website just isn’t that important anymore.

Picture this: You’re scrolling through your inbox and see a message from an organization you support. But something’s not quite right. The subject line reads “URGENT!

In our rapidly-evolving world, today’s social impact brands are falling behind their profit-driven competitors.

Colin Stranahan's commitment to music clicked one day on the football field when he injured another player. Even though he was a good football player, so good he was being courted by high school recruiters, it was in that moment that he decided he wanted to do something with his life that helped people, not hurt them. Born into a family of musician…
