About this Event
OVERVIEW
Communication is the difference between having a mission and building a movement.
We've seen many impact organisations with thoughtfully designed products, programmes and services struggle to drive action.
But when done well, communication amplifies effort and attracts others to be a part of your cause.
This masterclass reframes communications from "something manipulative" into what it truly is: part of the work itself.
Through interactive discussion and hands-on exercises, you'll leave with practical frameworks you can apply immediately.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPLORE
In this interactive and collaborative session, participants will explore:
- Busting the Myths of Impact Communications - Why "good work speaks for itself" isn't enough, and why silence costs impact.
- The Essential Communications Toolkit - What every organisation needs in place for success.
- Connecting Marketing Strategy with Business and Impact Goals - How to translate impact objectives into clear communications goals.
- Staying Authentic Under Scrutiny - How to communicate boldly while protecting against greenwashing, overpromising, and loss of trust.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This masterclass is for anyone navigating the tension between doing impactful work and making sure it's seen, understood, and supported.
You'll get the most from this session if you're:
- A founder or leader who feels uncomfortable "selling" your work, or aren't sure where to start
- A funder, investor, or capacity builder who wants to help the organisations you support communicate more effectively
- A communications or marketing professional looking for how to balance ambition with authenticity in the impact space
- Anyone curious about purpose-driven communications or wanting to understand how to turn your mission into a movement
No prior marketing expertise required.
