At Touchworks, we believe any organization dedicated to establishing long-term relationships with donors needs to address the importance of brand image, brand identity, brand design, and brand management.
Careful development of your brand is key to both growth and survival in an environment where competition increases daily for attention and commitment.
What is a Brand?
Don’t be misled into thinking your brand is simply your logo. A brand is a complex mix of perceptions about what you do. It is not only your visual identity, but also includes people’s perceptions of your organization, based upon their first-hand experience.
It translates into their belief and attitudes about who you are and what you stand for. It includes the acceptance of your brand by others and an attraction that makes people want to be linked with you rather than with another organization.
Branding is key for social impact organizations.
Branding in the social purpose sector is particularly important because you rely on the integrity of your brand to build relationships with a public where differentiation in terms of cause is often difficult to achieve.
This issue is compounded when several different organizations are linked with the same or a very similar social objective and in many cases, similar names. How is the donor to tell them apart? The answer lies in effective branding.
Our approach to brand development is holistic and one that incorporates our years of understanding values marketing.
For more than 30 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to the social impact sector, upholding values of respect and integrity. Our commitment to exceptional client care and service is driven by our passion to help our clients do the right things right!

“Touchworks has really helped us maintain and grow our annual giving program. They know what works and what doesn’t and can make strategic recommendations on how to grow this aspect of our revenue. All a full-service consultancy, they were able to help support aspects of the campaign when we were short-staffed or managing absences, and attempting to thread this into a larger campaign effort. Gloria and Kris are fabulous to work with.”
