- Identifying opportunities to further leverage digital communications and marketing methodologies to meet strategic goals
- Identifying and evaluating opportunities for growth and innovation
- Assessing if the organization’s capabilities to consistently execute and deliver digitally enabled strategies
- Assess and recommend how the association could further leverage data in decision-making.
The work involved:
- A thorough review of member composition and data as well as the potential for growth in other segments
- Review of the Association’s unique value proposition in the context of potential future growth
- Assessing the current website for its effectiveness in supporting the organization and member needs
- A review of the current member engagement strategy via digital channels and recommendations on increased personalization and segmentation.
