We’re in the business of helping nonprofits communicate more effectively. Our goal is to transform how organizations communicate through smart positioning, branding, campaigns, and materials that leverage solid strategy and great creative. We focus on cornerstone communications — the strategies and tools that have the biggest value and longest shelf life.
A single project (an annual report or website, for example) may be a key piece of smart communications, but we consider it just one of many tactics we employ in the service of the larger strategic goal.
By advancing all aspects of your communications, we advance your mission.
Big Duck helps nonprofit organizations communicate more effectively by offering three types of services:
- Customized communications services. Big Duck combines expert communications strategy with award-winning creative services to help nonprofits raise money and increase visibility. Our work typically begins with a brand-related transformation, web development or online engagement process, fundraising or outreach campaign development. Check out examples of our creative work, client list, and services throughout this site.
- Free or low-cost tools. These resources, designed to boost capacity, teach nonprofit communications ‘best practices,’ and provide essential information you’ll need to manage branding, web development, social media, or other communications channels and tools.
Our tools are listed in the resources section of this website. They include the Nonprofit Jungle Podcast, the Duck Pond newsletter, webinars , and workshops. Our webinars and workshops are hosted by Big Duck or organizations we collaborate with, such as the Support Center for Nonprofit Management, NTEN, and other nonprofit organizations that focus on boosting capacity. - Intensive consulting services, workshops, and private webinars.
