“Hives are adjacent to each other, and while their members each have roles, from products (honey) and defenders to mates and rulers, these hives allow for fluid interaction.” -Geoff Livingston
How can you be more like a “hive” organisation? • Have connectors (people, processes or
meetings with the function of ensuring a consistent brand experience)
• Shared resources e.g. documents, work spaces, wikis, calendars

What does this mean for branding? • Depending on your audiences – you can
be quite targeted with your branding programs...
6/6/2011 proprietary and confidential 42
Your supporters use MANY channels
6/6/2011 proprietary and confidential 43
Therefore ...branding campaigns need to be multi-channel • Multi-channel doesn’t have to = expensive
• Social media branding campaigns can be inexpensive
• Adwords and Facebook ads can be inexpensive
• Work with PR to secure “earned” media coverage
• Work internally to leverage “owned” media

Adwords

• Be specific with your ads e.g. use full name v.s. acronym

Tracking is key
• Having a multi-channel branding campaign only makes sense if you can actually judge and compare the efficacy of each channel
• Some channels will work better for you than others
• Need to determine where future efforts should be directed
6/6/2011 proprietary and confidential 56
Various ways of measuring branding campaign effectiveness • Recollection
• Site visits and landing page performance (time on page, bounce rate, CTR from landing page etc…)
• Engagement rate
• Fundraising (if a branding campaign is part of a fundraising campaign)
