How do I know if Sharp 11 can help my cause succeed?
Can you answer this question using ten words or less?
Tell me, what do you do?
If you struggle to relay your cause to others because it is unique, complex or misunderstood, Sharp 11 can raise your voice from vague to visionary. Because if you’re not clear on it, nobody else will be, either.
And what are you trying to change?
In order to find your tribe, your base, the people who believe in your work and give you money to do it, Sharp 11 helps you develop two critical strategies:
1. Audience position through brand culture and messaging.
2. Your most effective approach in donor campaigns.
It’s as simple as this: you are what they think you are.
Sharp 11 works in three strategic steps to position your efforts and messaging in a way that clearly resonates with your audience:
Sharp 11 works inside your organization to assess your culture and how it affects your ability to meet mission. We work outside your organization to learn your current value among donors and supporters so we can position you to increase awareness and raise more money.
Sharp 11 is all about getting attention and cutting through nonprofit noise. Messaging should be brave, bold, and above all, clear. Our way helps you avoid jargon and confusion so your work can stand out from the crowd. Because it’s not just what you say — it’s how you say it. No elevator speeches necessary.
When you are tackling society’s greatest issues, money to do the job is your biggest concern. Funding makes it all happen. Sharp 11 evaluates your current capacity, resources, and opportunities to create campaigns that increase donor funding. Sharp 11 also identifies activities or communications that waste precious donor time and attention, helping your message make greater impact more often.
The result? Sharp 11 creates your agency’s Chart – an individualized and simple guide to keep your message, and your efforts, clear and focused.
