Expertise: Non-Profit DR Strategy, Donor Acquisition & Retention
A little about the author:
Mastering online fundraising, interactive marketing, and non-profit social media integration isn't easy. But for nearly 1/20th of a century, Allison has managed to do what some would call "an adequate to exceptional job". How does she do it? It either comes from years spent in non-profits, boutique agencies, and corporate marketing departments, or from her unusually large glasses. No one's sure.

Todd's been designing and building award-winning solutions for BKV clients for over 10 years. He enjoys aiming his curious mind at our client's most important puzzles: "How do we maximize conversion on a landing page?" "How can we increase our average order value?" "Dude, what is Facebook?" If you want to see a Web architect in his pure element, just put Todd in front of a whiteboard. Just be sure to take a photo for reference, because nobody can read his handwriting.
