Let’s transform your mission into a movement. In this solo episode, I’m doing an Ask Me Anything and we’re diving into the power of Canva (including the best ways to create animated content for social media!) and my favorite online fundraising tips.

If you have a question about digital marketing, virtual or hybrid events, social advertising, online fundraising, or building a business, let me know! I may feature you in a future episode.

Notable Quote from Dana

“Blog posts live on and they constantly garner web traffic years after it's posted to your site. There are things that I have written 3 years ago as a blog post that continually bring new people and website traffic that are searching for those keywords on Google.”

From launching an annual grassroots peer-to-peer campaign, to developing a gift box for the holidays, Mark Dombkins and his team at Forever Projects are on a mission to help Tanzanian women break the cycle of poverty and create a self-sustaining future for their family.

Inspired by his own journey of adopting 3 children and wanting to create a big impact, Mark and I dig into the seeds of his story, from the early days of hosting small fundraisers at cafes to large-scale campaigns generating $176,000 with just 285 advocates!

Lean in and get ready to take some serious notes on staffing, internal goal setting, taking calculated risks, and staying curious when it comes to digital marketing. Mark was so generous in taking us behind the scenes that I left this conversation with so many takeaways!

Notable Quote from Mark

“If you’re not in the trenches with your users in the early stages, you’re not going to build anything that’s actually going to scale because they are the ones that will show you the way. I think that’s a really important lesson for anyone running a campaign.”

Video is one of the most powerful storytelling tools that’s worth the investment to excite and educate others about your mission.

Today I’m joined by two amazing women from Dressember, a collaborative movement leveraging fashion and creativity to restore dignity to victims and survivors of human trafficking. 

Founder Blythe Hill and Communications Coordinator Stephanie Schindler share the strategies behind their 2021 documentary launch, how they integrated the film as a tool for their advocates, and what they focus on as a small and mighty team of 4 to help end human trafficking.

Notable Quote from Blythe

“Video is so powerful, and it’s such a powerful tool for quickly getting people familiar with your work and extending a powerful invitation into your work.”

Where should you focus your time, money and energy in 2022 to grow your personal brand and thought leadership?

Hint: LinkedIn! 

Based on data from FindStack.com, of the 310+ million monthly active users on LinkedIn, only 3 million share content weekly. That’s less than 1% of monthly active users!

So with far less noise and competition on LinkedIn, how can you seize the opportunity and create standout content that builds your thought leadership? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down three of my favorite best practices that you can start implementing right away.

Notable Quote from Dana

“So often, we only focus on, “How do we expand the brand awareness of our organization?” But let’s be real - people connect with people. So I challenge you to also consider asking, “How do we expand the personal brand awareness of our staff and team to share their stories, that therefore lead more people to our mission?”

Welcome to the Missions to Movements Podcast, a show that highlights the digital strategies of organizations making a positive impact in the world. Ready to learn the latest trends, actionable tips, and the real stories behind the feed?

In our first episode, you’ll hear how New Story Charity went viral on TikTok (and no, the videos didn’t involve any silly dance moves!)

Social Media Manager Sierra LaDuke and I unpack how New Story creates their social media content strategy, behind the scenes of two of their viral TikTok videos, and how they redefined what social media success means to them. This conversation is sure to spark so many fun conversations for your organization. Enjoy!

Notable Quote from Sierra

“That’s what I love about TikTok, is that raw, janky kind of edits that resonates with the audience. You can really throw something together and people enjoy it more than a super polished video.”
