Every organization has a story to tell: how it's serving its community, how it's helping people in need or raising the profile of a specific issue or cause. With limited resources and time, the choices can feel overwhelming. Do you need local media to help tell your story, or is it best told by you through the variety of social media channels? Or do you need street-level, guerrilla marketing tactics? Likely a mix of one or more of the above!Join us for this hands-on workshop where we'll work through a real marketing/PR challenge and give you the insights on the low cost tools to promote your organization.
Kerry Fraser, Regional Manager, Marketing, Communications and Brand, CBC.
You guessed it: I love a good story. The first book I ever read? A Golden Books edition of "The Little Poky Puppy". Fast-forward a few years and two university degrees later, I decided to make my living helping other people tell their stories. By doing so, I've enjoyed an exciting, almost (!) 20 year career in marketing, communications and public relations in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors in Canada, US and abroad. I began my career in Halifax where I served as Senior Manager, Communications and Marketing for the Oscar-award winning Salter Street Films, Canada's largest independent production company, marketing films and television series across the globe. After 9 years in the Maritimes, I moved back to my home province of Saskatchewan where I served as Manager of Communications for Minds Eye Pictures, a Western Canadian film and television production company and then moved into international marketing at Saskatchewan Film Development Corporation. I recently celebrated my sixth year with CBC/Radio-Canada as Regional Manager, Marketing & Communications in Winnipeg, where I live with my husband and 8 year old twins.

Nonprofit organizations need to cut through the clutter of a busy graphic landscape. This workshop will cover best practices and tools that nonprofit administrators and communicators need to know. Whether it’s a postcard, annual report, brochure, or website, good graphic design will help you connect with your members, your donors, and the media. We will start the workshop discussing, in plain English, the importance of layout, fonts, colour, photography and other graphic design principles for your work. After this, we will look at what the popular website and social media platforms are, and delve into a few easy to use options that could be a good for for your organization.
All participants will walk away from the workshop with a basic understanding of design principles and the ability to implement better design practices at their workplace. Participants will also gain the basic skills needed to navigate the world of “easy to use” website/social media tools, and be able to think critically about the tools best suited for their organization -- no, your non profit probably doesn’t need a Pinterest. account.
Attendees should have some essential skills in office computing, some good experience in Microsoft Office (especially Word), and a healthy interest in making their communications more beautiful and legible. Please bring a laptop with the following applications installed and ready to go:
