You probably have a brand and style guide of some sort.

But when was the last time you reviewed and updated it to ensure it’s still relevant and effective?

If your style guide needs a refresh, we’ve got you covered! We’ll provide the trends and data you need to make those updates and start any needed conversations within your organization.

We’ll start by sharing the brand and style guide trends we are seeing in the major sources many nonprofits rely on (e.g. in the AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style). We’ll also look at updates to many specialized guides that the nonprofit sector uses, too.

We understand that the idea of completely revamping a style guide is overwhelming. That’s why we’ll introduce you to a practical process that allows you to refresh your style guide without feeling overwhelmed. We’ll guide you through a step-by-step approach that ensures your style guide remains current and aligned with your organization’s evolving needs and broader language changes, all while minimizing disruption.

During this webinar, you’ll receive:

  • Language, word choice, and design trends:

    • We’ll share a list of changes that the major style guides have made recently and that you might want to change in your style guides as well.
    • We’ll also share the state of the current debate over language and word choices that are currently in flux.
    • We’ll share some design trends we are seeing that we think are especially relevant to nonprofits.

  • Our favorite nonprofit style guide sections for your inspiration. We’ll share some of our favorite sections from real nonprofit style guides that we think all nonprofits should consider using as inspiration for their own style guides.

  • How to develop an easy process for updating your brand and style guide over time to keep it current.

  • Need help getting started with a style guide? While this webinar won’t spend much time on the basics, we do have a lot of bonus resources we will share on the webinar for those of you who could benefit from our brand and style guide starter kit.

Join us to gain a deeper understanding of brand and style trends and how to embrace those in your own work.
