Elev8 Your Cause, simply put is a company created to elevate your cause’s marketing efforts. Collaborating together means we can improve your branding, marketing, public relations, and fundraising for the cause. We really get marketing. You really know your cause. Chances are your cause is essential to many people, and perhaps you could use some help with changing how you connect with them, your current donors, and getting new donors. By doing that, together we make our community stronger.
WHO ARE WE?
WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT MARKETING EFFORTS?
Does it sometimes feel that when it comes to your nonprofit organization’s marketing efforts, you’re shaking the Magic 8 BallTM in hopes of the best answer? We get it. Typically, in small to medium sized organizations, the marketing person wears a multitude of other hats. It takes time to develop a comprehensive, strategic marketing plan, let alone manage all the projects envisioned. Before we know it, marketing can become a reactive response rather than a strategic growth plan. SOUND FAMILIAR?
HOW WE CAN HELP
Let’s discuss your needs, challenges, and opportunities. By listening, we discover areas that Elev8 can be of help. Sometimes it might be in a consulting role to get a comprehensive marketing plan in place. Other times it might be that your cause has a busy time of year coming up, and you just wish you had a helping hand for a short time with someone running your email campaign and social media, as an example, to get the word out. No project is too big or too small. Quite often we can figure out ways to make one project integrate with others - giving you more "bang for your buck." We work closely with your marketing coordinator or other designated staff to accomplish these projects enabling the staff to be able to focus on their other responsibilities. (Plus, they can breathe easier.) SOUND ENTICING? FREE MARKETING HELP FOR NONPROFITS

OUR VALUES
We listen really well. Because of that, we are able to create a customized plan - just for you.
We work hard. Our work ethic is just as our mothers always tried to instill in each of us, filled with integrity and ingenuity.
We seek results. We track and measure program results for you, and if something isn't working as expected, we are able to modify or offer different solutions.
We're affordable. We realize nonprofits don't often budget for marketing consultants. But what if the money you spend on an independent contractor could help you produce better results, which in turn increases your funding?
We utilize other experts. If there is a project that we can't handle, we are able to collaborate with a third party partner that we know has the expertise that is needed.
We take pride in our work. We are friendly, respectful and strive to deliver the best services possible for our clients.
