What makes for a memorable social event? A case of lite beer, a bag of Bugles, and a bunch of people who don’t know each other won’t be anyone’s Instagram moment. Careful planning is the secret to providing a terrific experience. Organizations that treat culture like an impromptu party will see their “guests” leave early. Culture revolves around personalities and a positive environment depends on understanding the needs of individual players and their interaction as a team.

Of the many tasks you will tackle in the course of launching a new website , one of the most important ones is content migration : the process of populating your new website with the content that is going to tell your story. Once the website is built—the scaffolding, structure, and design—your content is what brings it to life. But when you start adding up all the pages and posts and images and assets on your website, this might feel like a daunting project.

For years we’ve talked about donors from the perspective of a “pyramid” or “ladder.” Those at the top are “major.” Those in the middle are “mid-level.” Those at the bottom are, generally, “new.” But it doesn’t really work that way. Especially not in our digitally revolutionized marketplace where outbound (push) marketing no longer rules. Today’s most effective marketers engage in inbound (pull) marketing.
