Mission Assist is a unique program that combines the skills of marketing and development professionals to help non-profit associations better tell their story, share their mission and increase funding.
Who is Mission Assist?
Mission Assist is a special unit formed by Love Scott, a different kind of advertising agency, with more than 40 years in the marketing industry.
Why does Love Scott want to help?
Love Scott is a company with a clear understanding of how blessed we have been through the years and, in gratitude, has a genuine heart for giving something back. We want to help non-profit organizations better advance their missions by making our marketing and development experience and expertise available to them at a reduced charge.
How can Mission Assist help your organization?
We don’t know if we can, but we want to try. We start with a “needs assessment” to determine if, in fact, we can be of benefit to your organization. If we find that we can help, we prepare a plan outlining where we think we can help and how much the assistance will cost your organization.
What services does Mission Assist offer?
A complete menu of marketing and development services. We address your needs in
the same way we work with our commercial clients, through strategic marketing
planning, creating and producing promotion materials, logos and organization
identity, brand development and messaging, promotions and event planning, direct
mail, broadcast production, media planning and placement, mission newsletters,
public relations and online interactive strategies. The difference is there is always a
focus on fundraising.
What kind of experience does Mission Assist have in the non-profit sector?
Mission Assist is headed by an individual who spent 30 years on your side of the desk in the non-profit sector. He completely understands the problems and opportunities common to non-profit organizations. It was this understanding that prompted the realization that organizations such as yours could genuinely benefit from the services of a full-service marketing communications company. Mission Assist has worked with many non-profit organizations. Most recently, the Love Scott team led and coordinated all of the branding, marketing, public relations and development efforts for Meals From The Heartland, a humanitarian effort that involved more than 15,000 volunteers to the effort, and resulted in the packaging and distribution of more than 4 million meals shipped around the world. Mission Assist helped Meals From The Heartland increase public fundraising by $400,000 in new resources over the previous year.
Why is Mission Assist unique?
Often, a non-profit organization’s marketing and fundraising functions are developed independently. Mission Assist helps coordinate the efforts, presenting a united, consistent message to the public and enhancing the effectiveness of telling your story and motivating support for your organization’s mission.
What will Mission Assist cost?
Costs will be determined by the extent of your organizations needs and your availability of funds. Mission Assist services are virtually the same as Love Scott offers to our commercial clients, but they have been specially priced for the non-profit sector. Our promise and our guarantee is that there will be no billing surprises. You will always approve costs upfront.
Why consider Mission Assist?
We know that non-profit staffs are always stretched thin, wearing many different hats. We understand the dedication and unending hours necessary to assure the success of most missions. We also know that you know your organization better than anyone else. Most non-profit organizations never have the opportunity to work with a full-service advertising agency to help them be more effective. Mission Assist offers an efficient and effective opportunity for you to enlist the help of marketing and development professionals to listen to the heart of your organization and assist you in focusing on those areas that will most effectively move your mission forward.
