Telling Your Story In A No-Budget World

  • Second Harvest Foodbank 2802 Dairy Drive Madison, WI 53718 United States (map)

Telling your story is hard enough when you’ve got an unlimited budget. Is the message right? Is the mechanism right? Is the channel right?  With an unlimited budget, you can throw more money at the problem to find the right mix. But who ever has an unlimited budget?

For communications professionals, many times the budget is even smaller than the limited timeframe you have to execute your campaigns. Nowhere is that more evident than in a nonprofit organization. Learn about the Marketing/PR/Communications challenges and solutions faced by a local nonprofit organization, Second Harvest Foodbank, and how to translate them into the for-profit world.
