Learning Lab: Brand Strategy And Storytelling for Arts + Culture Nonprofits
Brand strategy is no longer optional for the arts.
Mission statements are aspirational, yet they are not enough – they are not decision-making tools and are rarely unique or memorable. In this session, we will make a case for articulating an organizational purpose that can help you make big and small decisions, create team alignment, make your funders understand why you are unique, and communicate to your audiences what they can expect from you.
