    How to Balance Data and Heart in Nonprofit Marketing + Fundraising

    In this episode of The brndBrief Podcast, Rose Crichton-White joins us to discuss her work as Director of Marketing, Development and Special Events at Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. The 127-year-old nonprofit community music school serves over 80 sites across NYC, offering both paid music classes and free resources to underserved communities. Rose oversees the external affairs that keep this organization connected to its diverse audience, from young children learning violin to seniors returning to piano. The conversation covers how storytelling drives fundraising success, strategies for authentic engagement across age groups, and the organization's measured approach to adopting AI tools for workflow improvement. Key points include: 📌 Brooklyn Conservatory uses its 125-year history and community impact stories to show donors they're more than just a music school - they provide free and low-cost resources to schools and community organizations using revenue from paid classes. 📌 Success comes from listening to community keywords, observing local trends, and using data to inform messaging while staying true to core mission and avoiding platforms where your audience isn't active. 📌 Nonprofits are slowly adopting AI tools like ChatGPT for grant writing, brainstorming, and workflow management - but the core focus remains on people over technology to maintain authentic community connections. 📌 Present measurable outcomes alongside compelling stories that demonstrate both current impact and future potential, using tools like mid-year impact reports with focused case studies to show donors the full picture of your organization's effectiveness. ------------------------ 🎙️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ON APPLE PODCAST If you enjoyed the episode, don't forget to subscribe, and leave a review.

    How to Build Bulletproof Client Relationships Through Radical Transparency and Smart Technology

    In this episode of The brndBrief Podcast, newest guest Robert Hanna, Director of National Sales & Marketing at Cohn & Dussi, LLC, a specialized Boston-based litigation firm focusing on creditors' rights, commercial litigation, and financial services law, discuss regulatory changes in the debt collection industry, the practical limitations of AI in legal work, and proven marketing strategies for reaching ideal clients in the B2B space.  Key points include: 📌 The firm's CLUES (Client Update and Entry System) platform addresses the two biggest client complaints about law firms - poor communication and billing disputes - by providing 24/7 real-time case status updates across all jurisdictions. 📌 Target industry-specific conferences and associations where your ideal clients gather, rather than broad marketing approaches.  📌 While AI can provide a starting point for articles and white papers, it requires extensive fact-checking and customization.  📌 Rather than focusing solely on revenue volume, successful business development is measured by profitable business relationships, tracking which conferences and associations produce quality clients, and eliminating non-productive marketing investments after 3-4 years of testing. ------------------------ 🎙️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ON APPLE PODCAST If you enjoyed the episode, don't forget to subscribe, and leave a review.

    How to Build a Marketing Function From Scratch in Healthcare While Managing Dual Brand Identities

    In this episode, Michele Hart, Director of Marketing and Communications at BostonSight, shares how she built a marketing function from the ground up for a unique nonprofit healthcare organization that operates both clinical services and commercial product lines. Michele discusses the strategic challenge of managing brand identity across multiple business verticals while serving diverse audiences including patients, medical practitioners, and donors. The conversation covers innovative campaign strategies, measurement approaches for specialized industries, and the importance of regularly reassessing organizational mission and vision. Key points include: 📌 BostonSight provided educational value to doctors during COVID without selling, which paid off when they launched new products and exceeded sales goals in 2021. 📌 Nonprofits should reassess their mission and vision every five years using frameworks like Harvard's corporate brand identity matrix to ensure multiple business areas support rather than compete with each other. 📌 A simple drawing by their Chief Medical Officer to explain scleral lenses to his children became a plush mascot, children's book, and highly successful donor campaign that highlighted their work with pediatric patients as young as 18 months. 📌 Using Harvard's corporate brand identity matrix, they distinguished their nonprofit PROSE treatment for severe cases from their commercial scleral lens products while ensuring both sides support the overall mission. 📌 Healthcare marketers should learn to say no and concentrate on fewer channels where their audience actually engages, such as Facebook groups and Reddit for patient education, rather than spreading thin across every social platform ------------------------ 🎙️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ON APPLE PODCAST If you enjoyed the episode, don't forget to subscribe, and leave a review.

    How to Prove B2B Marketing ROI with Customer Storytelling and Data

    In this episode of The brndBrief Podcast, guest Amberly Dressler, VP of Corporate Marketing at isolved, shares how isolved developed their "People Heroes" brand positioning to elevate HR, payroll, and benefits professionals who were often seen as compliance-focused rather than strategic contributors.  Amberly provides key insights on their customer storytelling approach, which analysts have called ‘the kings of customer storytelling’ and how they've evolved their events strategy based on direct customer feedback.  Key points include: 📌 isolved created the "People Heroes" positioning during the pandemic to address the loneliness and negative perception HR professionals faced, elevating their role as strategic contributors rather than just compliance enforcers. 📌 The company produces customer documentaries, fictional/nonfictional books, and on-site storytelling that showcases smaller companies with compelling stories, differentiating iSolved through authentic customer narratives. 📌 isolved adapts their event strategy based on direct customer feedback, splitting customer and partner conferences when attendees said content wasn't relevant to both audiences, and continuously adjusting between regional conferences and smaller city roadshows based on what customers request. 📌 Using ABM tools and dashboards, the marketing team tracks how specific content pieces influence deals, monitoring buyer journeys to see which reports or content assets serve as catalysts for demo requests, with some enterprise accounts showing 20-30 people engaging with content before requesting demos. ------------------------ 🎙️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ON APPLE PODCAST If you enjoyed the episode, don't forget to subscribe, and leave a review.

    How to Scale a Heritage Beauty Brand from Family Recipe to Mass Retail: Lessons from Chéribé Beauty's Journey from Chad to Target

    In this episode of The brndBrief Podcast, newest guest Salwa Petersen, CEO and Founder of Chéribé Beauty, a clean salon-grade haircare brand focused on textured hair. Salwa shares her journey from Chad to Harvard, where traditional beauty wisdom from her homeland inspired her to create an innovative haircare line featuring the proprietary Chébé Complex™. Their conversation explores Target's recent DEI initiative changes and the importance of maintaining authentic connections with core customers during retail expansion. Key points include: 📌 Chéribé Beauty prioritizes scientific rigor by being the first textured haircare brand in mass retail to systematically conduct clinical testing on tightly textured hair types, addressing a significant gap in the industry where these textures were historically excluded from testing. 📌 The brand successfully transitioned from prestige to mass retail through Target, chosen for its premium positioning and ability to reach their core African American customer base, with Peterson noting they earned their placement through standard evaluation rather than DEI programs. 📌 During recent shifts in Target's DEI initiatives, the retailer's team demonstrated strong support by proactively reaching out to maintain communication and gather feedback from brand partners like Chéribé Beauty. 📌Salwa emphasizes maintaining authenticity while scaling by staying true to the brand's African roots and primary focus on textured hair, while also acknowledging their products' effectiveness has naturally attracted customers with other hair types. ------------------------ 🎙️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ON APPLE PODCAST If you enjoyed the episode, don't forget to subscribe, and leave a review.
