Challenge

Community Brands came to Branded with a dynamic marketing strategy already activated. Particularly the company’s growth marketing strategy yielded leads but found that it could increase conversion by establishing a presence in trusted media outlets. They needed an agency with experience supporting these initiatives.

Strategy

Branded built out thought leadership strategies for leaders across multiple Community Brands platforms, each serving to champion a different expertise for the parent company. This strategy included developing evergreen narratives and targeting breaking news stories within the nonprofit and fund accounting spaces.
