Next Nonprofit Marketing Certificate Course: Fall 2019 in Dallas

The Marketing Certificate program gives participants the opportunity to develop a comprehensive, strategic Marketing Plan for their agency. Learn best marketing/brand/PR practices to effectively reach your agency goals for fundraising, volunteer recruitment, target client outreach, and new program/service launches.

In each Marketing Certificate Session, you will build a key component of an on-target Marketing Plan.

Marketing tactics and strategies are an ever-shifting target in today’s fast-paced, insta-like environment. However, learning today’s marketing best practices and how you can develop an on-target marketing plan can help you hit the bullseye.
During the course of the Marketing Certificate program, participants will interactively develop a strategic Marketing Plan for their agency. Interactive sessions can help you:

  • Create marketing objectives and strategies
  • Effectively use social media, website and other key marketing communications tools
  • Improve messaging and storytelling
  • Decide how much to invest in marketing
  • Manage across part-time/full-time staff members, volunteers, and outside resources to maximize marketing results
  • Measure results to evaluate progress and improve marketing

Who Should Attend?

This certificate is great for professionals early in their marketing career seeking more exposure to marketing best practices and for nonprofit professionals, such as development staff and Executive Directors, wearing many hats who may not have full-time internal professional marketing resources. It’s a real opportunity for marketing professionals who are too busy meeting agency needs to create a Marketing Plan. And it can also be a wonderful professional development opportunity for marketing/PR/event professionals to achieve broader, higher level, and more current skills.
