The Case for Communications
In this multi-part series, presented in partnership with The Communications Network, leaders from an array of foundations and nonprofits will share case studies showcasing strategic communications efforts that delivered impact, drove change, and advanced their missions.
Each article will focus on a particular idea or issue the organization wished to move forward, and outline how it used strategic communications to create a change in attitudes, awareness, or policy. The articles will also share important lessons—such as what worked (or didn’t), and why.
The series will focus on the impact of communications, and provide compelling examples and evidence of smart, effective communications efforts for leaders in the communications field and across the social sector. #case4comm
