Streamline communications between advancement and central marketing in order to increase efficiency.

Overview

Bridging the communications gap between advancement and central marketing teams is a familiar challenge to most institutions. Not having a dedicated communications channel in place often can result in disjointed and incoherent messaging in both the institutional and donor-facing marketing channels.

Join us for this live webcast to discover how Providence College restructured their advancement and central marketing teams to create a direct link between otherwise siloed functions.
