Today’s media and information marketplace has become increasingly crowded. No matter how compelling your cause, it is critical that you find a way to rise above the din and connect with your target audience in ways that grab attention and then persuade or inspire engagement and action. Working with prominent musicians, actors, and sports figures can be especially effective in reaching a broader audience and achieving greater impact.
 
While some nonprofits struggle to secure and make the most of celebrity endorsements, others are better able to harness the power of celebrity to achieve impact and outcomes that advance their organizational mission.
 
Join us for a stimulating conversation as we assess the best ways for nonprofits and foundations to engage artists and performers to increase visibility and deepen impact.
