Tuesday, May 21, 2024

1:00 – 2:00 pm ET (10:00 – 11:00 am PT)

Learn how to visually map out your content creation workflows so everyone knows what it takes to produce quality communications.

Jump Starter Workshops are Pass Holder Exclusives. You MUST have an All-Access Pass to attend.

Recording NOT Available. Please do not register if you can’t attend live. Current Pass Holders, RSVP for these events in the Community. 

This Jump Starter will use Mural templates. Be sure to sign up for a free account at Mural.co before the Jump Starter. We also recommend that you go ahead and apply for the free nonprofit account for even more functionality long-term, but that’s not required for the Jump Starter. 

Does everyone in your organization understand that process of how content is created, from the genesis of an idea, through drafting, reviews, publishing, approvals, and measurement?

Highly unlikely! In fact, it may also be a bit cloudy for you too!

Let’s change all that by visually mapping out your content creation workflows. During this Jump Starter workshop, we’ll work in the visual communication tool Mural to help you get started.

During this Jump Starter, you’ll receive:

  • A bit of training on workflows and our curated and customized list of Mural templates for content creation workflows. We’ll give you our favorite links for where to start and some tips on which one to play with first.

  • Time to begin working on your own workflow chart. Before you bring in other co-workers, you’ll want to get the basics down in your Mural. You’ll start that process during the Jump Starter.

  • Small group discussion time to explore how others manage their workflow bottlenecks. Mural is a great place to document the process and help you see where the bottlenecks are. You have time to talk with other communications directors about troubleshooting bottlenecks.

  • Instructions on how to get feedback and troubleshoot as you bring in coworkers from other All-Access Pass Holders and the Nonprofit Marketing Guide team.

What is a Jump Starter?

Jump Starters are working sessions from Nonprofit Marketing Guide where you leave with a first draft of a document or tool. Give us an hour and we’ll give you a bit of training, time to discuss important decisions with peers, drafts and templates to start from, and time to work on your very own copy. You’ll leave each Jump Starter with a first draft or game plan you can share with your team and complete on your own.

What Others Have Said about Our Jump Starter Workshops

“I appreciate the interactive component of the Jumpstart workshop. It was valuable having the opportunity to apply what we are learning during the session. Instead of setting myself a reminder to “do this,” I came away with a framework I can put use almost immediately. Thank you! This is a great direction to take your training sessions.” – Holly Pattison

“I loved connecting with others. I can not say enough how much I like the dedicated work time.” – Beth Helmueller-Perkins

“I loved the hands-on time to start building something useful. And the general vibe felt more casual and accessible than a webinar, which was really fun and refreshing.” – J.G.

“My favorite part of the Jump Starter was receiving guidance and coaching, getting to talk with colleagues, and leaving with practical tools! This is an excellent companion to your regular webinars.” – Aimee Cotton Bogush

“I really loved the interactive style.” – Bethany

“It was great. The short session helped me realize it doesn’t take a lot of time to get these things done. These are a good companion to your lecture-style training. You all are my favorite!” – Leili Khalessi
