About Jordana Merkin: With an outsider’s perspective and an insider’s knowledge, she equips small nonprofits with the tools and knowledge to share their big stories — raising awareness and funds for their missions. She has worked with both local and national organizations with varied missions, budgets, and resources, developing and executing marketing plans for multichannel fundraising campaigns, public awareness projects, programmatic initiatives, and volunteer recruitment. She loves dreaming big for her partner organizations while creating practical plans for them to identify and achieve their goals.
Key Takeaways:
“Your organization should sound human, It should have a voice that people can connect to. People give to people, people connect to people. “
“The authentic piece comes from identifying that brand voice and using it consistently and clearly. That's what's gonna build trust more than sounding like a buttoned up, boring organization. Let that personality shine through and that is actually how you'll build that trust.”
“Getting everyone aligned internally is really important because then you have that clear message to convey to everyone else. Every opportunity to answer the question (why you do what you do) is an opportunity for everyone to give the same answer.”
“Use the right words to tell the right story to the right people and at the right time.”
