I'm looking forward to speaking today at "501 Talks Tech workshop" about SEO and digital marketing for non profits, I'll be joining Joel Meyers and Tyler LePard from 11:30 AM–3:00, at the Pacific Tower, Panoramic Center, 8th Floor, 1200 12th Avenue South, Seattle, WA 98144.
Description:
In partnership with Seattle Tech4Good.
In today’s world, nonprofits cannot avoid communicating with donors, supporters, clients, and policymakers through digital mediums. Knowing this, how can nonprofits amplify their voice and communicate their mission?
Digital Communication encompasses all the words, videos, infographics, charts and data you produce through your website, social media channels, emails and various other tools you might use for communication. Some communication is automated yet most of it is written by your marketing and communications person(s), your social media managers, program leads, ED’s or perhaps even interns, volunteers or board members.
This three-and-a-half hour workshop is structured to help you understand what digital communications is and discover some strategies and tactics you can use to communicate your organizational mission, reach the right people, maximize your time and resources, and amplify your impact. In addition to reviewing strategy, messaging, and best practices, we'll also discuss how to leverage technology.
This hands-on, interactive workshop will be divided into sessions where you will hear answers to the above questions and much more. Through presentations, breakout exercises and Q&A you will be able to learn from the two speakers as well as from each other. You will walk away with a much better understanding of where your needs and gaps are, and what you are doing well.

So what makes up a world class communications, PR and marketing department?
In one simple word: Structure. Set aside experience, skills, budget, internal bureaucracy and all the other issues that exist within every organization…and it doesn’t matter whether you are two person team or part of a forty person team in place at most major universities. The bottom line is that without structure and a solid foundation of support, your organization’s communication’s department will never be able to function with the efficiency, creativity, effectiveness and level of organizational respect that is necessary to create effective marketing strategy that supports the organization’s strategic plan.
So where do you start?
What policies, procedures and plans create a solid communications foundation?
In this white paper written by Jarid Brown, we explore seven organizational policies, plans or tools that no growth-oriented nonprofit can afford to be without. These policies create the foundation and framework for successful organizational communications and marketing.

I was recently asked to give a crash course in developing effective digital strategies. Because I have a contrary streak and think that digital isn't a separate entity, I presented what I think are the key principles in developing marketing strategies instead. It's an intro to strategy in a lot of ways, but hopefully it will be useful/interesting to a few people.

Welcome to the 12th Annual Content Marketing Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends: Insights for 2022 report. What a year it has been.
This edition of our report looks back on the last 12 months and includes expectations for 2022. Throughout, you will see quotes from the many rich, qualitative responses we received to the question, “What did the pandemic change most about your organization’s content marketing strategy/approach?” In all, 75% of respondents took the time to answer this question and we are ever so grateful. What amazing insights it yielded!
The key theme that emerged was this: The pandemic awoke a sleeping giant – content marketing, that is. Without in-person events and face-to-face selling, many who had previously paid little attention to content marketing suddenly became aware of its power. More content marketers got a seat at the table and helped keep many businesses on their audiences’ radar. Some discovered new audiences altogether.
The research also confirmed what many of us already knew: Content marketers are some of the fiercest business pros around. In the most difficult of times, they get the job done – and many come through more creative and stronger than before.
Congratulations, content marketers, for a job well done in the most difficult of times. Our entire team salutes you!

Overview: The State of B2B Content Marketing IN NORTH AMERI CA
More. If one word could describe content marketing at the end of 2012, that would be it . According to the latest findings from the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, B2B marketers are spending more, using more tactics, and
distributing their content on more social networks than they have in years past. Unfortunately, there is also more uncertainty. B2B marketers are more uncertain whether they are using various content marketing tactics effectively.

Here are the slides from our webinar - PR Measurement Pays: Connecting Media Coverage to Business Objectives:
PR drives revenue. It impacts P&L. It has a direct effect on whether or not your organization reaches its goals.
Understanding how - and what's working (or isn't) - is critical.
The good news? It's easy.
In this 45-minute webinar, Measurement Queen Katie Paine is going to walk us through three examples of organizations - both for-profit and non-profit - that aligned their media metrics to their business objectives...and saw success because of it.
In this webinar we learnt how PR measurement has evolved, how to choose the right metrics, and how to finally and clearly prove that PR contributes to the bottom line.
The B2B Content Marketing Report is based on over 600 survey responses from marketing professionals to better understand the current state of content marketing and to identify new trends, and key challenges as well as best practices.
Here are some of the key findings:
- Lead generation is by far the number one goal of content marketing, followed by thought leadership and market education.
- Companies with a documented content strategy are much more likely to be effective than those without a documented strategy.
- The most mentioned content marketing challenge is finding enough time and resources to create content.
- Content marketing ROI remains difficult to measure. Only a minority of respondents consider themselves at least somewhat successful at tracking ROI.
- LinkedIn tops the list of the most effective social media platforms for distributing content and engaging with prospects.

Brand awareness is key. One goal of any business should be to be the first one that comes to mind when people are in need of a particular product or service. Brand recognition has a direct impact on the success of all businesses. Researchers refer to this concept as “brand equity,” which gauges how consumers react to a brand’s name1. Brand equity and awareness aren’t automatic; companies must employ frequent attempts to introduce their brand and services to their target audience.

Four things that B2B brands can learn from B2CSelesti
Let’s face it, coming up with marketing campaigns for a B2B audience is tough. It can be hard to get your audience excited when your product is an underground drainage pipe, a batch coding machine, or even ISO certification.
Believe me, I know, as these are some of the clients I work with. It can be really tough to come up with ideas, and it really makes me jealous when I see other people in my team having an absolute field day coming up with creative, exciting ideas for our B2C clients.
It’s easy to see B2B and B2C as worlds apart, but the truth is that it doesn’t have to be like that. In fact, there are many ways you can adopt B2C marketing tactics, and make them work for your B2B audience.
With that in mind, here are four things that B2B marketers can learn from their B2C counterparts, with some examples along the way.

61. Exercise
● What content management system does your nonprofit use?
● Is it easy to update?
● Do you think you are communicating your cause, the benefits of
contributing (time/money), the success stories and your data effectively?
Why, why not? What could you do better?
● Do your users have a clear path to the actions you would like them to take?
Unify communications overall, raise awareness about the organization and mission, promote community engagement (as ambassadors, volunteers, donors, members), develop, and raise money.
Maximize resources (time and money) by clarifying objectives, audiences, and messages; leveraging the right channels at the right times; measuring efforts to show what works and what doesn’t, so you can adjust as needed
Keep you focused so you don’t juggle a bunch of tactics without a plan for achieving clear goal
Gives you cover for considering new tactics, being creative, and experimenting
All good communications strategies start with a goal: What are you trying to accomplish via your communications? More than just “increase number of Twitter followers or FB likes” -- More specifically with social media, what do you want the reaction to be when someone reads your blog, or Facebook status update, or tweet? Who are you trying to reach (unawares, observers, supporters, advocates)? What will motivate them to take action? Do, Think, Feel
Define your target audience. Demographics (age, sex, location), what sites do they use, etc.
Tactics -- channels, content, etc.
In the wrap-up session next month, we’ll discuss setting goals and measuring success.
*And evaluation: what worked and what needs to change? Who is most engaged and who is least?
*Measurement: good to look at progress over time as well (did you gain followers?)
Identifying specific audiences help us to be strategic and increase effectiveness. It also helps us to set goals, decide which tactics and channels to use, and measure effectiveness. Identifying audiences helps us identify their motivations and tailor content to increase their engagement
The more specific we can be (gender, age, income, location, family size, interests, etc.), the better w/in audience groups.
Being specific can help you understand more about the members of your audiences: where they hang out, what they read, what they enjoy, what they value.
Easier for us to keep our audience in mind if we think of an individual person with specific attributes, rather than a group of vague/faceless people

Shared values: “All women deserve the opportunity to choose when and whether to have children.” and Independence: “A survivor’s story of hope in the face of uncertainty.”
Let’s go around the room and see if people want to share either general messaging about their organization or messaging about a particular campaign they are running or want to run. Have them share who they want to talk to and what they want to say in a couple of sentences. Ask the rest of participants: 1) did you understand this? and 2) do you want to learn more?
Facebook: 79% of online US adults use Facebook
Instagram: 32% of online US adults use Instagram
Twitter: 21% of online US adults use Twitter
LinkedIn: 25% of all U.S. adults use LinkedIn (but the demographics of LinkedIn make it an excellent platform for nonprofits to reach donors!) - almost half of all LinkedIn users make $75,000 and above.
Social media isn’t really about tools & technology, it’s about human interaction/building relationships/sharing information
Not *transaction* but *interaction* - long-term, sustained engagement
Share other people’s content more than your own content (80/20 or 3:1 rule).
If you make a mistake, acknowledge, apologize, and move on (don’t delete).
Thank people explicitly or by sharing their content
Quality of content is more important than quantity
Re-use content/Reshare content that does well (just look at last month because it might be overwhelming to look at more) but don’t copy and paste tweets/FB posts/Instagram posts (rewrite just a bit differently)
Don’t open a new social media account/new platform unless you have the resources to share content regularly
Tweets with photos perform better!
And don’t forget about GIFs if it’s right for your brand/tone/voice.
Infographics
Videos
Facebook: starting with hashtags, using too many hashtags, not deleting the URL

Highlighting the stories of beneficiaries, using LinkedIn to find ambassadors (reaching out to young professionals), using positivity/progress as a message, being relevant and timely!
Use hashtags for Instagram and Twitter
No hashtags needed on Facebook
Don’t forget about LinkedIn
Twitter chats
Facebook Live
