      Digital Services Review from Brianna Porter

      SmartSites impressed me from day one. They are knowledgable, kind, and most importantly keep things simple and streamlined so that even an SEO-newb like me can understand. Tiffany and Luna are my main points of contact and they are especially great! I would recommend to anyone looking for an agency to really take their website and digital presence to the next level.

      PPC Review from Jim Curry

      At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

      Web Development Review from Jim Theis

      We had the pleasure of working with Skol Marketing on the development of our website for Bold North Judgement Training, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. From the outset, the Skol team took the time to truly understand our goals, both for the website and for our business as a whole. They were instrumental in strategizing the best approach to serve both our needs and those of our customers.What stood out most was their ability to deliver exactly what we needed, often exceeding our expectations. They not only built a user-friendly, professional website but also provided valuable insight into design collateral, which has helped us stand out in a competitive market. Their expertise extended beyond just the website they supported us with online marketing strategies that contributed to real growth in our business.We genuinely felt fortunate to have had Skol Marketing by our side. Their proactive approach, clear communication, and commitment to our success made all the difference. We would highly recommend Skol Marketing to any business looking to elevate their online presence and marketing efforts.

      I primarily worked with Kaycee Kitzman throughout the entirety of the project we were working on. She was helpful, suggestive, positive, and punctual. Furthermore, Ben, the founder of SKOL, was really nice to meet, and reasonable to stipulate contract agreements with. I am really glad to have chosen SKOL to work with. I would recommend SKOL if you are building a website professionally.

      Branding Review from Shira S

      We partnered with Agency Squid to refine and elevate our brand identity for a SaaS platform in the B2B space. Operating in a competitive landscape, we needed strong positioning, messaging clarity, and a compelling visual presence to stand out.From the very beginning, the Agency Squid team demonstrated a deep understanding of our market, challenges, and goals. They asked the right questions, offered valuable strategic insights, and walked us through a structured branding process that was both collaborative and efficient.The outcome was a refreshed brand strategy that clearly communicates our core value, differentiators, and relevance to our target audience. We received high-impact messaging frameworks and creative assets that are now integrated into our website, sales materials, and marketing campaigns.What we appreciated most was their thoughtful, ego-free approach and consistent responsiveness. Every milestone was met on time, and they were always open to feedback, ensuring we were aligned throughout the project.This branding work has already improved our sales conversations, marketing performance, and overall brand perception. It was a seamless and professional experience, and were excited to continue working with Agency Squid in the future.

      Agency Squid is truly unlike any other ad agency out there. There is no ego involved and they listen to what their clients needs are while still challenging them to think about things differently. The smaller but mighty team is well rounded and each bring a different perspective to the table. I would recommend them for any design/marketing, product promotion or special project. Doesn’t hurt that their workplace is so cool too!

      We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jake at 320 Creative for our website and SEO, and the results have been outstanding. Our site traffic and online reviews have seen a significant boost since partnering with him. Jake is professional, efficient, and always open to new ideas and improvements. What truly sets him apart is his honesty—if there’s something we can handle on our own, he encourages it rather than charging unnecessarily. He’s been a fantastic partner and a valuable asset to our business growth. Highly Recommend!!

      As a small, side-hustle startup with dreams of being bigger, we came to PSM to make us look professional, and help guide our brand and style concerns. We couldn't be happier with our experience - working with Michelle was great. We had a few ideas in our heads, and within 2 iterations PSM was able to guide us to our new logo and style guide. In addition, Michelle was able to help us prioritize what was important for us now, and talk about how they can grow with us in the future.We can't wait for our customers to experience it when we go live - I can't recommend PSM Marketing enough.

      We've been teamed up with Trevor & his team at Stolber for over a year now. We started early given the time and investment it takes to launch a successful organic SEO foundation. We've found him and Tamara absolutely indispensable in getting us the traction we needed to successfully launch our business. When the time was right, we turned on paid search and accelerated the momentum we had built on the organic side. We are continually impressed with the team's commercial thinking, responsiveness, and proactiveness. We would highly recommend any business, regardless of size, industry, or company stage, to work with Trevor and the Stolber team. 5/5

Nonprofit Digital Marketing Agency Hiring Guide

What is a nonprofit digital marketing agency?

A nonprofit digital marketing agency is an agency that works with nonprofit organizations so they can build support from their target audience. Its main service includes creating campaigns around mission-driven work through various digital channels to promote an organization’s services and events, attract donors, and engage volunteers.

Some types of nonprofits are charities, religious and educational organizations, community social welfare associations, and volunteer groups. These institutions typically operate on restricted budgets, team sizes, and timelines.

Nonprofit organizations seek the help of marketing agencies to address the following challenges:

  • Limited budget allocation for effective marketing strategies
  • Lack of in-house experience in engaging donors
  • Limited access to target communities
  • Difficulties in finding and acquiring donors
  • Unclear company positioning and messaging
  • Inefficient targeting and allocation of marketing resources
  • Difficulty in keeping up with the latest trends and technologies
  • Intense competition for donations from larger organizations

A nonprofit digital marketing agency can bring the appropriate tools to develop strategies and promote them to the right communities to attract more sponsors. This specialized agency can craft unique branding and identity through powerful storytelling that clearly conveys a nonprofit’s mission and cause.

Success story

For example, this case study highlights the importance of hiring a digital marketing agency for nonprofits seeking to increase donations effectively:

  • Challenges: Clean Path New York is an infrastructure project aiming to make clean, renewable energy accessible to the public. It struggled to gain community support in a critical early phase.
  • Solution: HelpGood developed a full-scale marketing campaign to build awareness and positive sentiment among New Yorkers. The campaign included paid social, Google search, influencer activations, and an original animated video, all designed to resonate with various audiences, from residents to climate activists and communities in need.
  • Results: The campaign reached 62 million people with a significant 2.3x boost in impressions year-over-year. It also achieved an impressive 80% positive sentiment score across New Yorkers and earned a nod from the prestigious Telly Awards, solidifying the campaign as a successful marketing initiative.

What do nonprofit digital marketing agencies do?

Nonprofit digital marketing agencies provide essential services to help nonprofits achieve their goals. These services include strategic planning, brand development, digital marketing, fundraising and donor management, public relations, analytics and reporting, and event planning and management. They can also develop a sustainable marketing plan that builds long-term relationships with the communities involved. These open more opportunities and reach a larger audience for a nonprofit’s advocacy. 

The services nonprofit digital marketing companies provide include:

  • Strategic planning
    Helping nonprofits define their marketing goals and objectives by streamlining the ideal target audience for the organization.
  • Messaging development
    Developing a compelling organizational message that resonates with the target audience.
  • Brand identity development
    Developing a strong and memorable brand identity, including a logo, color scheme, and typography. It also includes creating brand guidelines to ensure consistency across all marketing materials.
  • Brand positioning
    Positioning the nonprofit organization in the market effectively to differentiate it from competitors.
  • Social media marketing
    Managing social media accounts, creating content, and engaging with followers.
  • Search engine optimization (SEO)
    Optimizing websites to rank higher in search engine results pages.
  • Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising
    Creating and managing paid advertising campaigns on platforms like Google Ads and social media.
  • Email marketing
    Developing and managing email campaigns to reach donors and supporters.

  • Event logistics

These services expand the outreach of nonprofit institutions and generate leads for them, allowing those organizations to reach donors and volunteers more effectively. Additionally, they fine-tune the business’ branding and messaging to attract the right audience, improve website conversions, reengage lapsed donors, and maximize the impact of its existing marketing efforts.

By leveraging digital channels, nonprofit digital marketing agencies can reach a wider audience, increase brand visibility, and foster deeper connections with donors and volunteers. Additionally, they can provide valuable data-driven insights to help nonprofit organizations measure the effectiveness of their marketing efforts and make informed decisions.

Success story

This case study highlights the valuable services nonprofit digital marketing agencies offered to organizations seeking to expand their message and advocacy:

  • Challenges: Mission Year, a nonprofit organization, wanted to increase awareness, attract supporters, and raise funds to further its mission of spreading Christianity and promoting social justice. It needed a marketing partner to act as an extension of its internal team.
  • Solution: Luminate Marketing partnered with the organization to develop a marketing strategy, including fundraising, design, Google AdWords, and SEO. The nonprofit digital marketing agency also led the Next Door Campaign, #ComeAlive Campaign, and 20-Year Celebration Branding and managed the Google Ad Grant acquisition for Mission Year.
  • Results: Mission Year increased its visibility, reaching over 1,000 people annually. It has expanded its reach to 1,200 young adults in urban ministries across 4 US cities and saved $800,000 annually, forging a strong partnership with Luminate Marketing.

What is the difference between profit and nonprofit marketing?

The difference between profit and nonprofit marketing lies in the intent and messaging of each campaign. Profit marketing invests in extensive market and competitor research and analysis to find a business’ ideal customers willing to pay in exchange for its products or services.

On the other hand, nonprofit marketing is more about finding like-minded individuals and organizations to further support a cause or advocacy and build communities. More specifically, profit and nonprofit marketing differ in scope, goals, audience types, and metrics:

Profit marketingNonprofit marketing
Scope: Emphasizes promotion, branding, and persuasion to drive sales Scope: Focuses on building relationships, creating communities, and inspiring action 
Goal: To generate revenue and maximize profits for a business Goal: To achieve a social or environmental mission and generate support for a cause 
Audience: Mainly focuses on consumers with spending power to purchase products or services Audience: Includes donors, volunteers, members, and the public 
Metrics: Measured by sales, market share, and ROI Metrics: Measured by awareness, engagement, donations, participation, and social impact 

While differences exist between the two, profit and nonprofit marketing still require effective strategies, compelling messaging, and a deep understanding of their target audience to achieve their respective goals.

How much does it cost to hire a nonprofit digital marketing company?

Hiring a nonprofit digital marketing company costs between $650 and $3,000 a month, depending on the size, location, and level of involvement. Prices also vary depending on the services you need, such as social media marketing, SEO, content creation, or public relations.

Nonprofit digital marketing agencies offer different services, each with unique pricing. Here’s a cost breakdown of how they charge monthly:

  • Search engine optimization (SEO): $500-$2,000
  • Google Ads and pay-per-click (PPC): $1,000-$10,000
  • Email marketing: $20-$300
  • Social media marketing: $400-$1,000
  • Content marketing: $2,000-$10,000

On DesignRush, the top 50 nonprofit digital marketing agencies charge an average of $110/hour. 21.6% of nonprofit digital marketing agencies accept projects within a budget of less than $1,000, providing core marketing services. On the other hand, 0.9% accept projects with a $50,000 minimum budget, offering complex services, such as developing a comprehensive marketing strategy or launching a large-scale campaign.

Why should I hire a nonprofit digital marketing agency?

  • Ability to use compelling storytelling
  • Expertise in professional creative branding
  • Powerful organic content marketing and SEO initiatives
  • Effective social media marketing
  • Specialized analytics and proactive reporting techniques

  • Solution: Summit Marketing developed a multichannel campaign for The Salvation Army Metropolitan Division to introduce the Bed & Bread Club® — a monthly giving program where a donor would give $10 a month — to the community.

How do I choose the right nonprofit digital marketing company for my business?

Finding the right nonprofit digital marketing company is crucial for achieving your nonprofit goals and making a positive impact on your stakeholders. By following these steps, you can effectively evaluate potential agencies, assess their expertise, and choose a partner that aligns with your mission and values.

Consider these steps when finding the right nonprofit digital marketing agency for your organization:

  1. Define your needs
    Assess the types of marketing you require assistance with. This will help you find an agency that specializes in the services you require and can provide the best possible support.
  2. Determine your goals
    Determine your goals for hiring an agency and set a budget. Clearly articulate what you want to achieve through your marketing efforts. This could include increasing donations, raising awareness, or building a stronger community.
  3. Research nonprofit digital marketing agencies
    Search for agencies online and ask for referrals from colleagues and other nonprofits. You can also look into online listing platforms like DesignRush, which offers comprehensive lists of agencies based on location, team size, and budget.
  4. Assess expertise
    Check their website, portfolio, case studies, and social media presence. Ensure the agency offers the specific services you need, such as social media marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), content creation, or fundraising.
  5. Consider industry reputation
    Read testimonials and reviews from past clients. Look for agencies with a strong reputation in the nonprofit marketing industry and check if they received any awards or recognition for their work.
  6. Shortlist potential partners
    Narrow the list to up to five agencies you want to interview based on your initial research. Send them a request for proposal (RFP). The proposal should include how they will determine the scope of work, the strategies they intend to implement, a clear list of deliverables, and the pricing information.
  7. Get to know the team
    See their team size and the team members’ specializations and ask about their experience in working with nonprofits. A larger team may have more resources and expertise, but a smaller agency can offer personalized attention and a more agile approach.
  8. Interview and assess soft skills
    Schedule the shortlisted companies for interviews to discuss the proposals and learn which will best align with your mission and cause. Consider how they empathize with the cause and their commitment and passion in making a positive social impact through their campaigns.
  9. Choose the right fit
    Decide which agency you want to collaborate with based on your evaluation of the proposals and the interviews.
