Iowa Insurance Division

After the floods of 2008, the Iowa Insurance Division needed to make Iowans aware of the importance of flood insurance. The “Don’t Test the Waters” campaign integrated three action words—prepare, protect, purchase—to inform Iowans about the importance of flood insurance and persuade them to purchase it.

Nonprofit Marketing

You Need to Compete to Succeed

Just because you are a nonprofit doesn’t mean that you can ignore marketing. You’re not in business to make money. You’re in business to help other people. We’re in business to help those people find you.

Nonprofits are facing more competition now than ever before—from other nonprofit organizations, government agencies and for-profit businesses. You’re competing for contributions, board members, volunteers, share of voice, relevance and sustainability.

We understand. We’ve worked with hundreds of nonprofits to set marketing plans in motion, develop public relations campaigns, consult on branding issues, conduct strategic planning and execute advertising campaigns.

ME&V Knows Nonprofits

  • Our partners have sat on more nonprofit boards than we have room to list.
  • Partner Mark Mathis, ME&V’s Director of Cool, published “Nonprofit Nonmarketing: A Guide to Branding Beliefs and Benefits,” in 2007.
  • Our creative tenets support the “softer side” of marketing.
  • We have worked with hundreds of nonprofits across the United States.

ME&V’s in-house audio and video production studio sets us apart from others in the nonprofit marketing arena. When it comes to telling—and selling—human stories, video is one of the most powerful ways we’ve found to provoke thought and tug heart-strings. Since we also specialize in fundraising, we can integrate all your materials to convey a single branded, relevant and powerful message.
