The elements of a strong
charity brand?
Create a clear
and compelling
proposition
How you behave
How people experience you
There can’t be a disconnect between who you say you are
and how you make people feel.

Let your
values shine
through
‘There’s very few places you can
go to in the world where you can
pick up a telephone and another
human being, no matter why
they’re doing it, will listen to you
unconditionally. If you want to pour
out in a phonecall, they will listen
for hours, for as long as you need
them to.’
Capture

customers

                                                   … however the number is up
    The number of page                             45% on October 2009.
    impressions for October is
    down 9% on September…
    Again, the high number of page impressions in September is
    likely a result of WBCM.
Thank you
