If you work for, volunteer for, have received the benefits of, or simply love a particular local area non-profit agency and you’d like to see them step up their marketing moxie, the crew at St. Joseph’s Holt Bosse may very well be your perfect solution.
David Holt and Patrick Bosse are co-presidents at Holt Bosse, a full-service marketing firm based in St. Joseph, and they recently launched their their 2nd Annual “Make a Mark” campaign.
That initiative will award up to $50,000 in free marketing services to one area nonprofit during the 2019 calendar year. Applications for the reverse RFP are available at holtbosse.com/mark and are due in just under two weeks by the deadline of February 28th.
David Holt says, “Since opening in 2014, our company has had fun strategizing and creating materials for numerous nonprofits in Southwest Michigan,” and adds, “This year we’d like to help one area nonprofit make a bigger mark by dedicating up to$50,000 worth of our time and skills to their marketing efforts.”
The donated services can be applied toward boosting the recipient’s annual marketing budget, kick-starting a capital campaign or getting the word out about a new program or services, fundraising, and the like. Holt says services covered by the“Make a Mark” campaign include strategic, media and public relations plans as well as development and creation of websites, social media campaigns, digital, print, radio and television advertising, direct mail, billboards and more.
Holt points out, “The only costs the nonprofit will incur are outside purchases such as buying advertising space, printing, et cetera,” adding, “Our time is on our dime.”
Bosse says any organization with nonprofit status can apply, but special consideration will be given to nonprofits with limited funding streams for their marketing budgets. He notes, “We understand that many area nonprofits must earmark most of their donated dollars and grants to direct services and operations, leaving little money available for marketing.” Bosse says, “This campaign will help one organization make a greater impact telling their story this year.”
