Consulting: Helping Nonprofits Communicate More Effectively

In 2009, I’m devoting nearly all of my time to training and coaching. I’m taking on only a handful of consulting clients each year and only considering new clients with minimum contracts of $5,000. If you have an interesting project in that range, I’m happy to discuss it with you. To learn more or to discuss a project, contact me.

What Does EcoScribe Do for Clients?

We help clients define who they want to reach and then develop the specific strategies and tactics to effectively communicate with those audiences. EcoScribe creates practical, cost-effective marketing strategies and helps implement them by producing a variety of print and online publications, including newsletters, annual reports, websites, blogs, press kits, and more. Clients include local and national nonprofit organizations, businesses, government agencies, and universities.

Here are a few examples of recent projects:

  • Developing communications and marketing strategies and managing  editorial calendars.
  • Writing and designing annual reports for small community-based non-profits and national advocacy organizations.
  • Writing, editing, and designing print and email newsletters, including  practical, how-to articles; personal and organizational profiles (including interviewing subjects); and “from the director” columns.
  • Writing and designing various how-to guides, case studies, brochures, award applications, etc.

As needed, Kivi contracts with other writers, editors, designers, photographers, and printers to provide the best possible service to her clients.
