Marketing Bootcamp is here!
Join us for the Cause Camp Marketing Bootcamp! This collaboration model is designed to take away the guesswork, the avoidance, the imposter syndrome, and the uncertainty that prevent new and small organizations from investing in marketing.
Sometimes, nonprofits avoid and skip marketing in favor of what we are more comfortable doing. Other times, we just do what seems like the “right thing” because we see others do it. Either way, we’re missing out on an opportunity to make our organizations more sustainable.

About
The Work
The bootcamp curriculum is demanding, but it is tested and rock solid! During the workshop day, we address six essential marketing lessons. Each one includes direct instruction teaching as well as time to execute and instructor support. At the end of the day, each participant will leave with a clear plan of what their marketing should be and an understanding of how to evaluate new opportunities.
The course is limited to 12 organizations, so each attendee has direct access to the instructor’s expertise.
Lesson 1: Introduction to strategic marketing
Lesson 2: Persona development and buyer journeys
Lesson 3: Brand pillars and messaging
Lesson 4: Channels and getting efficient with a flywheel strategy
Lesson 5: Planning and prioritization
Lesson 6: Digital content strategy and execution
You have two options to sign-up:
The in-person bootcamp will be held the day before Cause Camp in Sandusky, Ohio, on Sept. 13. This will be an all-day 8-hour session held at the convention center.
The virtual session will be held before the Cause Camp Virtual Watch Party on Oct. 17 – 18. This will be a two-day session via Zoom. Both sessions will be five hours.
Each of the sessions includes time for completing homework and breaks.
Testimonials
“I have been in the nonprofit field for 13 years and this was by far the best workshop I’ve ever taken. During a difficult time, I feel motivated and prepared to take on the end of year season and the next year working smarter, not harder.”
Lisa Kelly, Communications Director for Fisher House Foundation, Helping Military Families
“I came into the workshop with little knowledge about marketing and left with a workable plan of action. I would recommend this bootcamp to any nonprofit, whether you have an existing marketing plan or are starting from square one.”
Keli Ching, Assistant Executive Director for Mālama Pu’uloa

Ashley Watts, Owner and Managing Partner for Local I’a Community Supported Fishery

Jeff Patterson, Marketing Director for Forgotten Children Worldwide
“Lindsay’s bootcamp helped me to go back and rework some ideas that had not been fully explored previously. It reminded me how to go back and really review and update my target market to create a more current strategy. Time well spent.”
