Digital Marketing for NGOs

Corporate communication

We defined what corporate communication means in an NGO context with some essential communication tools to shape your key organizational messages.

NGOs need to be clear about the purpose of their organization and razor sharp in channeling the right amount of information to a myriad of stakeholders, including their beneficiaries, present and future donors, volunteers, and strategic partners. Storytelling does more than communicate information. It is also a way of branding in the non-profit sector that strengthens operational competence and garners support.

Learning objectives:

  • Learn what corporate communications means in a non-profit context
  • Practice how to define your message at an organization level, using the ‘Message house’ framework
  • Learn how to stratify your audience, identify message delivery channels and re-use core messages for different audiences
  • Develop a story structure for your corporate communication

We gave tips on not just volunteer recruitment but also volunteer retainment and engagement.

According to a SCMP study, “7 in 10 people in Hong Kong intended to volunteer, but only 3 had pitched in over the past 12 months”. Why is this happening and how can we engage volunteers better?
