Planning
Strong in-house communications teams support and advance goals related to fundraising, program recruitment, advocacy, and more. Great communicators cultivate relationships with participants, volunteers, donors, activists, staff, board members, and other key audiences in ways that inspire action. They invite people into your organization, ensuring they feel welcomed, connected, and encouraged to stay. They create systems and workflows to build sustainable momentum and facilitate effective internal and external communications.
We craft strategic, achievable communications plans and assess teams to ensure they have the tools and staff they need.
- Plan development (marketing, communications, donor engagement)
- Department assessment and structure
- Recruitment and hiring support
Big Duck conducts research and develops a roadmap that strengthens your organization’s approach to communications, marketing, and donor engagement, including ways to refine your strategy, team, culture, and practices.
Our planning work often involves determining staffing needs, conducting searches for director-level communications staff, restructuring growing communications departments, and getting leadership teams aligned about what communications is and does as a functional area.
