Sad but true. Douglas Rushkoff wrote a great post over at Mashable about how marketing is threatening Social Media’s “true promise.” I think that Rushkoff is reacting to the big brands (specifically P&G) jumping into the Social Media pool and swinging their big checkbooks around (I’m not sure that metaphor works exactly but you get

We’ve been wondering what would happen if a church thought like a nonprofit. Our team has had several conversations about how much churches could learn from the great, strategic nonprofits in terms of communicating with their…(dare I say it?) Yep: “Donors.” LifeWay Research recently released a study reporting that “79% of the churches surveyed are

Your nonprofit has a website. You have social media. You’re ready…now what? Where’s all the traffic? Where’s the online giving? How do you get your donors to show up on your website? It’s sort of like being all dressed up for the party at your house, but no one is showing up. Some will tell

(Here’s where you can see the previous posts on branding and fundraising). Candidly, I had trouble finding a

“Theatrical” was the first word that came to mind when I was thinking how to describe Lady Gaga’s “look.” “Crazy,” “weird,” “unsettling,” and “strange” also popped into my head (among others). As I wrote in the previous post on “What Lady Gaga Can Teach You,” I’m not a Lady Gaga fan (be sure to see

We’ve been drawn into several questions and discussions about how the massive relief and fundraising efforts will impact income for 2010.

Where were you November 10, 1969? November 10, 1969 the first episode of strange new children’s program aired featuring singing puppets, the alphabet, an orange Oscar the Grouch and a really big bird named “Big Bird.” The concept had already been turned down by CBS and NBC but PBS gambled on the program and the
