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.

Understanding the Space

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.

Our Thinking

Bold Bison brings our deep experience in nonprofits and rich sector knowledge to help transform the way organizations think and communicate about their work.

Messing With Texas

Bold Bison is currently engaged in Texas to build up communications and storytelling capacity across the conservation sector, and to help land trusts across the state make a stronger, bolder case for conservation.

Sustainable Food Systems

MacArthur Fellow Lisa Schulte Moore, PhD., engaged Bold Bison to help think through the nexus of ecology and agricultural conservation across Iowa and the Midwest through the Prairie STRIPS program.

Saving the Sequoias

Giant Sequoia Lands Coalition, a regional network of government and nonprofit partners, engaged Bold Bison to develop communications and branding to promote increased awareness of the iconic species.

Trusted Expertise

Our team brings nearly three decades of combined experience in nonprofit communications, marketing, and fundraising, with expertise in supporting conservation and climate advocacy, local food movements, and arts & cultural organizations. 

Our Approach

A Common Sense Approach to Communications

We bring a thoughtful, pragmatic approach to thinking about audiences, the best ways to reach them, and most importantly, the strategies that are reasonable and manageable for the talent and capacity within your organization.

Meeting You Where You’re At

With nearly 30 years of shared experience in non-profit communications, we can firmly say we’ve been there. From fundraisers to volunteer recruitment, Congressional advocacy to social media strategy, public-private partnerships, coalitions, and everything in between, we appreciate your unique challenges and lend our expertise to every project.

Boosting Confidence, Clarity, and Capacity

Through the collaborative and facilitated process we bring to each project, we will help you see things from a fresh perspective, think deeply about how to put the pieces together in a different way, and provide the tools, trainings, and tips to lift confidence and capacity within your organization.

Helping Move the Sector Forward

Our years in the sector have not only provided rich first hand experience in nonprofit communications and strategy, but also shaped our perspective on the work of these movements. We will help you identify, bolster, and lean into those programs and outreach strategies that can genuinely move the work of the sector forward while serving as a national model for partners.
