Are your communications a random mishmash of visual and verbal styles?

Are you trying to manage what feels like a content creation free-for-all, where co-workers do whatever they personally like?

Does it feel like you are forced into the same conversations — or arguments — about style, voice, and tone over and over and over?

Then it’s time to establish a Brand and Style Guide. This guide describes the look, feel, tone, voice, and style of your communications so that all of your content creators produce consistent, effective communications that require less editing and negotiating on your part.

Brand and style guides are an essential #CALMnotBUSY planning and collaboration tool.

During this webinar, you’ll receive:

  • Training on what a brand and style guide is and how to use it in your nonprofit.

  • Guidance on making important decisions before designing your brand and style guide, including

    • What problems are you trying to solve? Where do you need firm rules and where do you need suggested guidance? How much detail is required?
    • Where is the greatest need for consistency? Are you more concerned about the way things look, how programs and services are described, the style and tone of communications, or something else?
    • Just how much do you need? Will a cheat sheet do, or do you need a longer style guide? Or are you ready for a full-blown brand book?

  • Sample brand and style guide sections to help you create a first draft. You’ll get access to sample brand and style guide sections and templates so you can pick and choose what to include in your guide.

  • Links to plenty of real-world nonprofit style guides and brand books for inspiration.

Join us to learn how to create this essential part of your nonprofit communications toolkit!

BONUS! All registrants get a special invitation to join our exclusive community space where you can talk more about the brand and style guides and other topics with the whole Nonprofit Marketing Guide community.
