Message
Hone your organizational narrative
Your narrative is more than what you put in writing; it is clarity in the goals, values, and vision of your organization that informs all of the ways your work is expressed.
The Message is about gaining that clarity and building alignment with your team so you are equipped to create whatever you need, from web pages to pitch decks, so you can share your plans and vision with the world
Messenger
A message is only as compelling as the one delivering it. You can spend hours crafting a beautiful narrative, but if in conversation with a donor they don’t experience being met and invited into that narrative they are unlikely to give.
The Messenger is about both working to embody your narrative in all its complexity so you can share it with grounded confidence, as well as meeting donors where they are so you build trust and alignment with them.
Become an embodied messenger of your story
Machine
