SUMMARY:Brand Architecture: Rethinking how you connect the dots between your nonprofit's brand and programs
DESCRIPTION:More and more nonprofits seem to be struggling with how to organize communications in looking at a full brand review versus specific programs or initiatives\, which are often considered “sub-brands”. How should you visually represent the new program you’re rolling out–does it get its own logo or use your main one? What should you do when a particular initiative is more visible or better-known than your organization itself?\nOn this webinar\, Farra Trompeter\, Vice President of Big Duck\, a communications firm that works exclusively with nonprofits\, will define brand architecture and share insights for organizing your brand and expressing it in a clear\, holistic way that your audiences understand. \nFor more information and to register\, visit: Nonprofit Hub
