Scenario: You have just gotten a new job in the marketing department for a good-sized nonprofit. You are excited about working here. Not only will you be working, but you will be helping people too! It is a perfect combination for you.
After the first week on the job, you realize that the digital marketing and SEO is barely managed for the organization. You had understood, in theory, how hard it could be for nonprofits to prioritize spending, but now you see it. Everyone in the office is really devoted to the nonprofit, but they don't have any digital marketing experience. The person running the marketing for the organization is "old-school print advertising." The organization has a website and sends out some email, but there is very little coordination.
You approach the head of the department and ask if you could work-up a presentation. You are planning to show it to the department and assuming they are okay with your plan, you will take it to the board to ask for some funding to implement the plan. You are given a half-hearted approval. They agree it needs to be done, but it seems like there are more urgent issues to deal with. You will need to get the work you were hired to do done each day, before you can work on this.
Instructions: Select a local nonprofit organization that has a website. This can be in any location but select a nonprofit that is not managing multi-state locations.
