1 Define your brand

Before you can measure your brand strategy, you need to define what your brand is and what it stands for. Your brand is not just your logo, name, or slogan, but the sum of all the impressions and associations that people have with your non-profit. It reflects your identity, personality, values, and purpose. To define your brand, you can use tools such as a brand pyramid, a brand archetype, or a brand persona, which help you articulate your vision, mission, value proposition, and core attributes.

Measuring brand effectiveness is one of the most difficult things to measure. Because it is related to people's feelings. It requires longer time and deeper research. Occasional changes may occur that hinder the effectiveness of the brand.

In my experience, for a non-profit, it's like seeing if your message is really hitting home. First, you check how well-known your non-profit is. It's like asking around to see how many people have heard of your local community project. Then, look at how people are interacting with your campaigns – are they just liking your posts, or are they actually showing up to events and volunteering? Think of it like a local fundraiser; success isn't just about hitting your cash target, but also in seeing more folks pitching in every year. And don't forget the stories – when people share how your non-profit has touched their lives, that's when you know your brand's really making a mark.

Cuando hablamos de organizaciones sin fines de lucro es mucho más difícil posicionar la marca porque la causa o causas en las que trabaja la organización sobrepasan la imagen, con el riesgo de convertirte en “uno más de los que hacen XYZ” Por eso, para empezar es importante que la organización define bien su filosofía, objetivos y como su trabajo se destaca en el campo. Por ejemplo, estoy trabajando con una fundación que da apoyo a las personas con discapacidad, pero su enfoque es para ayudarlos a emprender y ser económicamente independientes, y no solo ayudarlos dándoles cosas (que también lo hacen)

2 Set your objectives

The next step is to set clear and specific objectives for your brand strategy. What do you want to achieve with your brand? How do you want to position your non-profit in the market and in the minds of your audiences? How do you want to differentiate yourself from other non-profits in your sector? How do you want to communicate your impact and value? Your objectives should be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. They should also align with your overall organizational goals and strategy.

3 Identify your metrics

Once you have your objectives, you need to identify the metrics that will help you measure your progress and performance. Metrics are the indicators that show how well you are meeting your objectives. They can be quantitative or qualitative, depending on the nature of your objectives. For example, some common quantitative metrics for brand strategy are brand awareness, brand recall, brand recognition, brand loyalty, brand advocacy, and brand equity. These metrics can be measured through surveys, polls, web analytics, social media analytics, or other data sources. Some common qualitative metrics for brand strategy are brand perception, brand association, brand personality, brand sentiment, and brand reputation. These metrics can be measured through interviews, focus groups, testimonials, reviews, or other feedback methods.

En caso de las métricas, para una organización sin fines de lucro, la más clara es la cantidad de dinero y el número de aportes que reciben. Sin embargo, no es la única. Deben enfocarse en lograr impactar en empresas y personas para poder recibir más donaciones, así como dar a conocer constantemente su trabajo

4 Analyze your data

After you collect your data, you need to analyze it and interpret the results. How do your metrics compare to your objectives? What are the strengths and weaknesses of your brand strategy? What are the opportunities and threats for your brand? What are the gaps and areas for improvement? How do your audiences perceive and respond to your brand? How does your brand compare to your competitors? You can use tools such as SWOT analysis, gap analysis, or benchmarking to help you answer these questions and draw insights from your data.

5 Adjust your strategy

Based on your analysis, you need to adjust your strategy accordingly. What actions do you need to take to improve your brand strategy? How can you enhance your brand identity, personality, value proposition, and communication? How can you leverage your strengths and address your weaknesses? How can you capitalize on your opportunities and mitigate your threats? How can you close the gaps and reach your objectives? You can use tools such as a brand audit, a brand refresh, or a brand repositioning to help you implement the changes and update your strategy.

Finalmente, el objetivo de las organizaciones sin fines de lucro es lograr un impacto real, continuo y duradero en las comunidades que buscan servir. Para lograr eso necesitan dinero, que se traduce en donaciones, engagement y relaciones a largo plazo con organizaciones y empresas benefactoras. Por otro lado, para poder darse a conocer deben promover activamente su trabajo sin parecer que están pidiendo dinero, ni afectar la privacidad de sus beneficiarios. ?Cómo lograr eso? Con una estrategia bien definida de comunicación, mercadeo directo y usar líderes de opinión que apoyen su trabajo.

6 Repeat the process

Finally, you need to repeat the process regularly and consistently. Measuring your brand strategy is not a one-time activity, but an ongoing cycle of evaluation and improvement. You need to monitor your metrics, analyze your data, adjust your strategy, and measure again. This way, you can ensure that your brand strategy remains relevant, effective, and aligned with your mission, values, and goals.

I led the marketing and communications team for a regional nonprofit. During my tenure, my team executed a much-needed rebrand for the 100+-year-old organization. The nonprofit's size and complexity hindered our ability to communicate its impact as a whole. In addition, the organization's age was reflected in its supporters, mainly older church members. The challenges were reflected in 5+ outdated and disjointed logos, 11 outdated and disjointed websites, and siloed program marketing. There was little brand identity in the community. We measured success of the rebrand through donor, volunteer, and community awareness surveys and NPS scoring. We also measured digital engagement and donations.
