Non Profit

Outside the echo chamber

Agitation. Acceptance. Action

The three legs of the milking stool of non-profit PR are agitation, acceptance, and action. While every non-profit will have its own goals with media engagement, they all will include at least one of these focuses, with some including all three.

Many hands

PR for participation

Non-profits often rely heavily on volunteers and action from individuals to achieve their missions. Attracting that level of participation is often dependent on exposure to an issue, group, or organisation. This can be partially achieved in the digital world by social media engagement; however, media exposure is where the real seeds of change happen.

The inconvenient truth

Pitch media to fight ‘what’s the pointism’

The legacy of the last few years is that anxiety levels in communities are at their highest point on record. Most people are solely focused on survival. This focus dulls their hope for a better future. A more peaceful time where we turn back the tide of climate change. Where our actions regenerate land and bring back fauna and flora on the edge of extinction. Films like 2040 and Regenerating Australia show that a more positive and hopeful future is entirely possible, but not without action now.

The proverbial ‘elephant in the room’

Help a reporter out

Journalists have been hit with the 'perfect storm' - loss of public trust, diminishing access to resources and increasingly short deadlines. With a growing portion of the community trusting what is often mis - or disinformation from ‘people like me’, it is more than just the future of the media at risk. It is the fabric of society itself.

Attracting others to your cause

Non-profits benefit more from free media exposure than almost any other type of organisation. Why? Your stories combine immediacy with local and human-interest stories. You can provide a great deal of factual content around issues with real-world consequences.

There’s only one-degree difference between water and ice

Suppose you want to explain to an audience why a one-degree difference in climate has a real-world impact, explaining that the difference between water and ice is an excellent place to start. Imagine what this approach to climate change could have on those who don’t take the issue seriously. As a non-profit, you mustn’t bury the headline when talking to the media (or anyone else).

A CHANGE IS GONNA COME

“Good trouble, necessary trouble”

American statesman, civil rights activist and congressman John Lewis often said it was important to engage in "good trouble, necessary trouble" to achieve change. His non-violence protest and action legacy made him an icon of the civil rights movement and ensured he was re-elected to congress 16 times.
