Learn how to build a strong brand aligned with your social mission and purpose.

Brands signal our affiliations. At their best, they tell stories that define, differentiate and humanize organizations and indicate what companies stand for in the world. When executed well, brands can connect us with like-minded people and visions, reflect our values, inspire us to take action, or help us feel part of something bigger than ourselves.

For all these reasons, social enterprises and nonprofit organizations working on tackling the world’s most critical challenges like poverty, climate change, sexual violence, or homelessness need to build strong brands. In our fast-moving and chaotic world, it matters more than ever that social change-makers learn how to cut through the noise and get other people to pay attention to their causes, services, and innovations.

In this self-paced +Acumen course bundle, Debbie Millman, Mike Bainbridge, Brian Collins, Jennifer Kinon and Bobby Martin will teach any social entrepreneur, nonprofit manager, or social change agent to build a compelling brand identity for their cause or initiative that will get others to sit up, pay attention, and feel connected.

• 10 page workbook with activities that will help starting to build your brand
• Tutorial videos from 5 leading experts and authors and accompanying exercises
• A dynamic forum to share your process with other brand-builders across the social sector
