Benchmarks for mission-driven marketing are finally here.

If you’re like most mission-driven marketers and communicators, it’s hard to know if your marketing efforts are behind, on pace, or ahead of organizations like yours. With so few marketing benchmarks specific to the mission-driven space, you’re left reading through general B2B or even B2C marketing benchmarks that don’t accurately reflect your efforts or industry.

That’s why we created the (award-winning) Marketing Benchmarks for Mission-Driven Organizations. It breaks down:

  • The results of nearly 450 responses to The Mighty GPS™, our self-assessment for measuring your organization’s marketing maturity.
  • Where mission-driven organizations are most and least effective across six key areas of marketing.
  • What are the most mature marketing teams doing to be so effective, and how can you, too.
  • Breakout benchmarks for associations, nonprofits, and educational institutions to compare yourself, set expectations, and create a path to mightier marketing.
  • Recommendations and best practices to increase your marketing effectiveness.

Discover how your marketing compares to nearly 450 of your peers.

“The benchmark report is such an amazing resource, and we’ve already taken new action steps since reviewing it! ”
