A discussion on the importance of a brand and how to effectively promote your nonprofit


How do you know if your nonprofit brand works?  This is one of the questions that Howard Adam Levy of Red Rooster Group, a leading branding agency focused on the needs of nonprofits, addresses in an interview withTony Martignetti on Tony Martignetti Nonprofit Radio.


As a recognized brand strategist, Howard has been dedicated to helping nonprofits improve their marketing and branding efforts for over 20 years.“In order for any brand to work, it needs to effectively communicate an organization’s message to the audiences that matter most to the organization,” said Howard. “Many nonprofit brands, however, have underinvested in the structure and maintenance of their brand positioning. Like consumer companies, they need to do a brand assessment involving all parties from the marketing department to members of the board so that they can ensure they are fulfilling their mission through their brand.”

Other key issues that Howard addresses in the interview include:

  • How organizations can become ‘brand ambassadors’ and help themselves in effectively reaching donors and communicating their brands.
  • The importance of assessing your brand.
  • How to communicate an organizations core messages in its brand.
  • Meeting the challenges of defining your brand.
