Event Design, Branding, and Coordination
To better understand how I can serve nonprofits and their responsibilities to outreach to the San Bernardino County community, I conducted a research study amongst a sample of 30+ nonprofits to learn more about their perspective of community outreach.
The Survey
As a result of this survey which provided actionable results, I pitched a workshop to Executive Management at First 5 San Bernardino and with partners at the American Advertising Federation-Inland Empire to address major concerns of nonprofits and their interest in outreach strategy. With an open programming date of January that was riding the buzz of the Super Bowl, I produced "Game Plan for Nonprofits" a sports-themed full-day workshop that walked nonprofit professionals through developing an informed strategy of outreach for their new year.
