Spark Collective

Chicago, United States · 8 people · Est. 2023

Spark is growing mission-driven organizations through effective digital marketing strategies—helping you reach and engage donors, increase your team's capacity and organizational impact. More than 50% of nonprofits do not have a digital marketing strategy—yet the majority of donors prefer to engage with nonprofits via digital channels. Why such a large gap? As a nonprofit leader your time and resources are limited, which is why Spark was founded. I help you make sense of the digital landscape, and create a strategy that's tailored to you and your nonprofit, not just to make noise online, but to connect your digital marketing efforts directly to impact for the mission of your organization. Through my 3-step process, I will: 1. Audit your existing digital channels and learn from what other organizations are doing as well. 2. Create a tailored strategy that ties directly to your mission. 3. Implement that strategy for long-term impact, not just flash-in-the-pan results. Or walk alongside you as your guide to ensure you're implementing the strategy and taking the right path. Want clarity on your organization's digital marketing efforts? Let's talk!
