Massive THANK YOU to all Veterans today and everyday! At HGA we're huge supporters of our military and their continued sacrifice!

When developing your brand's message, you may be tempted to find an organization that's similar to your own and customize it to fit your own position. However, that kind of approach will often cause your brand to feel "cookie-cutter" in the eyes of supporters or those interested in your cause. We all know that standing out is important. But, instead of focusing on colors and design to achieve that goal, focus on creating a message that's unique to you. Take a deep look at what makes you and your organization tick, and implement that "you" factor within your story. It's worth the effort. ??

When crafting your nonprofit's story, the hard part is knowing what to leave out. When most people think about branding their first thought often goes to logos, colors, or signage. However, the most important step in building a brand that's memorable, is a compelling story. Nikki Barjon, our recent podcast guest, mentions how emotions, perceptions, and your past can shape and sometimes negatively affect how your story is told. It may seem counter intuitive. "If I leave things out, how will people fully understand the weight and importance of my mission?" But, here's why it works: ?? A simplified story is more accessible and easier for a broader audience to understand. ?? By stripping down the story to its essence, you create space for individuals to insert their own emotions and experiences related to your cause. Fostering a deeper emotional connection. ?? When people feel they can relate their personal experiences to your mission, they are more likely to engage with your organization, whether through donations, volunteering, or advocacy. To dive deeper into the topic of branding and storytelling, check out our most recent podcast with Brand Builder, Author, and Speaker, Nikki Barjon! ??
