Institutions & Non-profits Industry

Drive change by changing mindsets

Institutions and nonprofits are often cause driven and passion led.

A strong brand centered on emotion can build trust and credibility with stakeholders, including donors, volunteers, and the public. This can help organizations attract and retain supporters and communicate your impact and mission effectively.

As the Brand Intimacy Agency, our expertise centers on building brands that impact mindsets, drive decision-making, and bond with their stakeholders.  We anchor your brand on a series of archetypes that matter most to the institutional and nonprofit markets and your constituents. We factor emotional drivers into content, design, and digital outputs so the result is not only distinct and compelling but also connected and engaging.

“The MBLM team was collaborative and immediately understood our important mission and were able to conceptualize it into a powerful new identity.”
