A well defined marketing strategy can guide all marketing efforts, align them with the organisation’s goals, maximise the impact of resources, build brand awareness and credibility, attract and retain donors, and enable partnerships.

Resource Summary:

In the world of social organisations, standing out and knowing where you fit in is really important for doing well. It means talking to different groups of people in a way that makes sense to them and addresses their problems. Having a strong brand that people recognise is key to getting your message out, using social media and other platforms. It’s also important to know what you want your brand to achieve and to change how you talk about it depending on people’s understanding of it. You should also think about things like how much you want your main brand to be seen in everything you do and sticking to the same colours for recognition. Watching what your audience does online and posting at the right times can make your social media plan work better, so engaging with the people you want to reach is important.
