Branding Non Profit Fundraising

Last week I received a phone call from a friend who suggested I needed to use my life experience to create a new seminar topic.

John's note was pretty simple:  "Michael, I was thinking you might consider helping those of us in the non-profit sector better understand how to brand ourselves and how to better market to our prime demographic."

John went on to suggest that I should take what I learned from my years as a professional fund raiser for a United Methodist Mission and mix that with my marketing/branding experience and take it on the road.

I was surprised to learn that many fund raisers have a hard time connecting the message, the brand and the demographics.  So, we've given birth to a new seminar topic for your next non-profit gathering of fund raising professionals.

"Non-Branding - Raise the Brand, Raise the Gift"

Thanks John!!

Michael Libbie - Your Next Seminar Speaker

So, let's have some fun already!

Thanks for coming by.  This is Kunta the African Grey "Office Bird".  Actually he's the brains of the outfit.  I'm sharing this with you because business and seminar speaking isn't all "stuffed shirt" stuff.

Learning can also be fun.

When I speak to groups we relate to things like hockey - "Ya gotta shoot to score!" and ranch rodeos - "Team branding is an event in the world of ranch rodeo.  It's also how you should look at who is responsible for your brand!"

You're looking for an experienced speaker for your next seminar or key-note.  Me?  I'm looking for work.

Public Speaking - Michael Libbie

Hi and welcome!  You've heard it said over and over about how speaking before a group of people is the number one fear in the hearts and minds of so many people.

Some of us don't suffer the affliction.  In fact, there are many of us who thrive in the world of public speaking.

But, you've got to have something to say and the experience that makes what is said creditable.

My experience in business development, marketing, branding and public service has formed much of how I work and the issues I address.  In coming posts I'll introduce you to some of those experiences and give you concrete examples of my ability to entertain, motivate and enlighten your business or civic group.

Shameless self-promotion?  You bet!  You're looking for a talented and gifted speaker for your next event...and I'm looking for work.  Let's get started.

Michael P. Libbie is the principal of Insight Advertising, Marketing & Communications a full service advertising agency based in Des Moines.
