How we work

HOW WE DO IT
We developed a model that fits the budget of the nonprofit organization without sacrificing the power of for profit marketing. Our uniquely tailored program includes the professional services you need — from monthly newsletters to e-marketing, annual reports to advertising. We do it all and we’ve made it easy for you to budget. That’s affordable professionalism.

Our model is also scalable. We know that smaller organizations have different needs (and budgets) than larger agencies. Our fees reflect that.

In the past, nonprofits have counted on the “forgiving” nature of donors, who overlooked the sometimes inconsistent solicitation materials they received. With our help, you can change the style of your marketing from forgiving to “for giving.”

We’ve made marketing — and the decision to use the smartest, most affordable agency easy. Here are a few reasons to RELEV8 your organization:

Increase charitable giving. Through improved communications with donors, clients and the community, we will increase brand awareness and donations. You’re already doing great things … We just have to get the word out.
Consistency. When you farm out marketing jobs on a project-by-project basis, or allow employees around your agency to handle marketing initiatives, you can end up with campaigns that lack consistency and brand conformity. When you have limited marketing dollars, you need every cent to count. That’s what we do: make every cent count toward your brand identity and marketing efforts.
Maximized ROI. Face it: you’re already spending money on marketing, but not necessarily in an organized manner. By channeling your funds and efforts, your campaigns will be more memorable and your investment will bring results.
Track impact. What worked? What didn’t? Without valuable tracking information, you don’t know what to change and what to repeat. We track our marketing tactics and we tailor them for greater success based on audience feedback.
Streamlined use of volunteers. Is your Board doing all it can for you? Have you reached everyone who wants to volunteer for you? We can energize your organization with new blood and ideas.
Manage resources and opportunities. We’ll help you develop your annual marketing budget and advise you on how to spend those dollars to maximize impact.
Senior level staff. You may be thinking, ‘but I get a lot of pro bono work.’ Often pro bono work is delegated to junior employees while the paying clients work with the seasoned professionals. That’s not a worry at RELEV8. Senior-level employees work on your account, because you are our focus, not our hand out.
Jimmy can do everything. Huh? What if you could hire one person to do it all, take care of all your marketing needs, and replace an entire team? We say, you’d be crazy not to! However, it’s unlikely, so we created a better solution: Hire us. For the approximate cost of just one average employee, you’ve found an entire team. You get a Strategic Planner, Project Manager, Senior Art Director, Senior Copywriter, Senior Account Executive, and Senior Media Buyer. And the best part is the talented folks on your staff get to continue to do what they do best instead of trying their hand, and possibly wasting their time, at marketing.
