Digital Marketing

Do you need to raise awareness to expand who you serve, increase your volunteers and/or raise more funds? Do you need more targeted messaging to serve a diverse array of stakeholders? If any of these are true, then improving your digital marketing capabilities can help.

Basic Capability

We are in the early stages of developing our capability and have improvements to make. We likely:

  • Have a website, but it needs a good rebuild
  • Have started to use social media, albeit inconsistently and haven’t seen significant value from our efforts
  • Can take donations through our website, but don’t leverage this effectively.

Intermediate Capability

We have the fundamentals under control that meet the key needs of the organisation, but further improvements are possible. We likely:

  • Have a responsive, engaging website that attracts clients and supporters
  • Use email marketing effectively to engage with stakeholders and track outcomes from our efforts
  • Use social media well and track the outcomes from our efforts
  • Engage our supporters effectively to strengthen our donor pipeline and are successful in our grant applications.

Advanced Capability

Our digital marketing processes and systems work very well, deliver value and support us to achieve our mission. We likely:
