Mission • Membership • Marketing: A Magic Mix for Success Too often our programs are siloed or do not get the internal support membership efforts deserve. Competing for internal resources, institutional email schedules, IT, and marketing resources can stifle membership’s full potential. Join Dana Hines, President and CEO of Membership Consultants, Inc. – a full service membership marketing firm – and Rosie Siemer, founder and CEO of fiveseed – a digital ad agency and design studio – for a lively discussion about how Membership and Marketing can partner on a range of mission-focused initiatives from social media to email and online advertising. We’ll discuss the importance of social media for membership services, lead generation, and engagement as well as the opportunity for strategic, discrete membership campaigns that leverage PR, advertising, email, direct mail, and on-site promotion.
