Building A United Vision
Nonprofit organizations face unique marketing challenges. You have a variety of programs and events that compete for space in the marketing calendar. You need to speak to multiple audiences – creating content for donors, constituents and volunteers. And you must establish an emotional connection with both current and prospective supporters.
Add the additional hurdle of grant and government funding requirements that dictate how marketing dollars can be spent, and spreading the word about your work becomes a complex undertaking.
At KWSM, we understand how to create robust infrastructure and compelling messaging to tell your organization’s story, so you can focus on the mission.

FAQs
How should I choose a marketing agency for my nonprofit?
If you’re considering working with a digital marketing agency to help promote your organization, asking the right questions can help you choose a team that understands and is aligned with your mission and goals.
We recommend asking about past results and success stories for groups similar to yours, investigating the size and tenure of the agency’s team, and considering the relational fit, not just the services.
Successful marketing plans can take months or years to bear fruit, and you should work with a team that you feel comfortable sharing ideas and challenges with.
Does my nonprofit need digital marketing?
Digital marketing is essential for reaching prospects and stakeholders who need to know about your efforts. As an organization, you ought to leverage every opportunity available to accomplish your goals.
That said, many nonprofits struggle to compete with big corporations for attention and engagement in the marketing sphere. Most organizations don’t have dedicated in-house marketing teams to research, strategize, and execute a full-fledged digital marketing strategy, nor the budget to stand out with paid ads.
KWSM has helped numerous nonprofits accomplish goals like increasing donations, expanding mission awareness, driving foot traffic at public events, and more. The right combination of audience analysis, targeted messaging, and cost-effective lead generation tactics make strategic digital marketing for nonprofits much more viable.
Do I need a Digital Marketing Strategy?
Every marketing initiative needs a unique combination of messaging and tactics to be successful – but too many agencies take a tactics-first approach and fail to put the infrastructure they need in place to maximize results.
At KWSM, we establish and refine the marketing journey your audience will take before we launch campaigns to make the best use of your marketing budget.
Do I need a new website?
If your website isn’t generating traffic or appearing in search results, it may be the first sign that your website needs a refresh. Factors like page loading speed, user experience, and functionality are valuable indicators of your website’s health.
Best practices suggest updating your website design every 2-3 years to keep up with modern trends and usability.
