Our Services
Connecting Communications & Strategy
We believe communications requires more than just creative thinking about how to get the word out. At a fundamental level, it requires strategic thinking about the work of your organization.

Bold Bison unites our experience in nonprofit communications and strategy with our perspective on the sector to help you identify the opportunities for your organization and articulate your work in the space.
Facilitation and Trainings
Our team has a national reputation for developing impactful and thought-provoking workshops. These trainings can help you build new skills, work more efficiently, or think about your work in a new way.
Capacity Building Support
Through tailored and actionable planning, strategy sessions, and skill-building workshops and trainings, we make sure you’re fully prepared, confident, and energized to activate our recommendations.
Direct Marketing Services
When extra capacity is needed, Bold Bison offers a variety of direct support services including video and media production, website and strategic message development, and email and social media marketing.
