Sprig | A Communications Company

"Where do I start?" "What's next?" "What else can I do?" These are common questions we get from organizations and teams that have big goals and ideas and aren't sure how to run with them. We can help. 👋 Hi, I'm Alexis. I help purpose-driven brands and organizations turn big, complex ideas into digestible content. I founded Sprig to help nonprofits and organizations with hearts talk about themselves. When you work with us, you'll get the clarity you need to: 🌱Explain what you do and who you help in ways that people can understand. 🌱Apply consistent messages across your marketing and communication channels. 🌱Take simple concepts and turn them into marketing gold that will make your campaign and brand stick. What does that look like? Ongoing support or support through a season. We're here to get results, not lock you into an arrangement that doesn't work for you and your organization. How has it gone for others? We secured $265K for an independent school in four weeks. What did they say? "Alexis did a great job transforming the school’s largest annual campaign from a plug-and-play approach into an integrative and inclusive event. She infused a healthy dose of positive energy and brought fresh ideas and consistent, inspiring messaging throughout the campaign. The end result was a fun experience that exceeded all our campaign benchmarks." #NonprofitMarketing #NonprofitCommunications #NonprofitMarketing #Communications #Fundraising

Its responses like this that make this work incredibly fulfilling. We recently had the honor of working with an Idaho social services nonprofit as they prepared for their annual gala. They hired Sprig to: ✍️ Write a release for their statewide affiliate magazine promoting the event. ✍️ Draft an invitation email to send to their subscriber list on behalf of their new executive director. ✍️ Tell stories about real people their team has helped for use in their program and other marketing materials. It’s one thing to feel like you’ve captured the essence of an organization’s impact, and another for the team member who supported the client to feel it, too. #Nonprofit #Storytelling

"We've been asked to write blogs about our partnership on this initiative but don't have time, can you help?" Sometimes you need to call in someone for help coordinating content. Our client introduced the contact for this one, and we took it from there. ✔ Interviewed contact to gain context about the initiative. ✔ Met with the partner to understand brand and writing guidelines. ✔ Wrote and proofed the content. ✔ Coordinated review (from all involved) of the final content. ✔ Secured logos for publishing. Read how St. Luke's Health System, the Blaine County Mental Well-Being Initiative, and Communities for Youth are working together to address mental health and well-being in central Idaho. ➡ https://lnkd.in/dg8DSPwv (Don't need content support but want to write better stories?

"What are your favorite projects to work on?" A friend asked. "Storytelling projects." An easy answer. Putting humans at the center of the work that organizations and teams do helps with... 👉 understanding 👉 connection 👉 simplification Plus, who doesn't want to be entertained while they're learning?

You'll learn too... ➡️ to translate your mission moments into inspiring stories. ➡️ the basic structure of the story—and how to simplify the information you have. ➡️ to bring storytelling into all aspects of your communications, from your in-person appeals to email communications and more!

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." Getting your board members on board and excited about their roles means not having to do everything on your own and greater success for your nonprofit. Since they already care about the work your #nonprofit does, they can be wonderful mission advocates if you set them up for success. We share some thoughts in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gxHA3DYN #BoardofTrustees #BoardofDirectors #Enablement

Your value proposition is like a mission promise. Effective campaigns turn that promise into messaging that moves people to action. What's your #nonprofit value proposition? #MessageYourMission #CommunityBasedOrganization

"Small, focused events provide unique opportunities that other development-related outreach, such as galas and community events may not." What's your take? Does the small event trump the gala? #NonprofitMarketing #NonprofitFundraising #BrandExperience

Effective mission stories = mission + characters + call to action (CTA). Humans have been telling stories for centuries to pass down histories and language and to entertain. If you've been sleeping on writing and sharing your mission story, you could be missing out on opportunities to connect and engage with your donors through marketing efforts, campaigns, and outreach. Telling your story doesn't have to be complicated, start with what you have. 👇 And then subscribe to our newsletter for weekly tips to translate your mission into digestible stories and content. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8Fn4tYD
