You have an upcoming fundraising event, but you're not quite sure what to call it or how to market it well. Or, perhaps you are launching a new initiative, but are struggling with how to get the word out about the program. Our concept and planning services can help you think through your organization's marketing needs, decide on the most effective venues of message distribution, and can set you on the path of promotional success. These services include marketing strategic plan development, promotional activity recommendations, branding, and theme and concept development. Contract with us to provide you everything from advice on the best mediums to deliver your message in to complete promotional plan development and implementation.

Whether you're trying to explain a year's worth of successes in an annual report, cranking out a timely press release, developing your next fundraising campaign, or putting together a program brochure, we can help you craft your message. With training and experience in public relations and journalism, our writing skills can aptly convey your successes, testimonials and needs. Furthermore, our editing services provide you a professional set of eyes to proof that publication or report you've been working on. Let us help you avoid that regretful incomplete sentence, misspelled word or improper punctuation.

Our design services include the design of brochures, flyers, newsletters, annual reports, Powerpoint presentations, logo development, website design, e-mail marketing pieces, direct mail, invitations, banners, and more. We're commited to creating materials that brand and fit within the mission and purpose of your organization. Enhance your image in the community, impress potential funders, increase your web presence, and heighten the quality of your marketing materials with graphic elements and pieces that are professional and impressive. For some examples of our work, visit our online portfolio. Other examples are available upon request.

We understand the budget constraints that bind many nonprofit organizations, and take pride in offering reasonable [and often lower than market] rates on our services.

It is our hope that the combination of our reasonable rates, commitment to excellence, and specialization in the nonprofit community will encourage you to choose us to make your marketing and design plans become realities.

Generally, our rates are billed on an hourly basis. Rates for 2008 start at $35/hour, which is a rate far below many other marketing & design consultants in the Kansas City market. (Wondering why? Read about our philosophy.)
