Ep. 32 | Marketing as a Force for Good with Noah Barnett

In this episode of Beyond the Donation, host Matt Bitzegaio talks with Noah Barnett about the power of marketing in the nonprofit world.

Noah shares his journey from being intrigued by the influence of marketing on consumer behavior to applying marketing strategies for mission-driven goals. He outlines the development of the 'Good Marketing Framework,' a tool designed to enhance marketing campaigns by focusing on understanding the target audience, cultivating connections, activating action, and learning from outcomes.

Noah emphasizes the importance of viewing marketing as a crucial component of mission success and challenges the idea that marketing is merely overhead in nonprofits.

The conversation includes insights on donor retention, acquisition, and the strategic role of marketing in driving growth and engagement within nonprofit organizations.
