Nonprofit Digital Marketing
Partner with Allegiance Group + Pursuant’s nonprofit digital marketing experts to grow and engage supporters, improve fundraising, and advance your mission.
Why Your Organization Needs Nonprofit Digital Marketing
Digital marketing uses online tools such as email, search engine marketing (SEM), display advertising, website content, and social media to reach and communicate with your audience. Effective digital marketing should integrate with other channels such as direct mail, telemarketing, events and media, and more.
When building your nonprofit’s digital marketing plan, we consider a variety of communication channels and how they complement one another. We build story arcs that blend stewardship, engagement, advocacy, and fundraising communications, bringing your mission to life and helping your nonprofit achieve its goals.
Allegiance Group + Pursuant’s digital experts will develop an approach that fits your needs, helping you create a digital strategy and craft messaging with the right tone and voice. Our messages are targeted to the right audiences, delivered at the right time and frequency, and leverage the right channels, leading to impactful outcomes.
