Hi, I’m Ricardo
I founded Market Your Mission to teach nonprofits how to share their story, grow their donor base, and make a greater impact on the world through captivating communications and beautiful design.
Let’s get real:
Do you struggle to get noticed for your amazing programs?
Is attracting and retaining donors more frustrating than fun?
Do you have trouble finding time to update your website, blog, or social media?
Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the communications tasks you know you should be doing?
If so, you’re not alone. I’ve seen many of my nonprofit clients struggle with the same challenges. And to be honest, running a small business is a lot like running a nonprofit and I’ve faced many of those same problems.
When I started out in the marketing space, I had a big heart full of passion for serving my clients, but I really didn’t know where to start. The online marketing landscape was exploding with so many options, I couldn’t tell up from down.
And so I struggled. I tried to do everything under the sun and serve every client who needed design or marketing help. I remember feeling so proud helping one client relaunch their website yet later that day I had to ask my parents for money to help me pay rent.
I thought to myself, “Why can’t I have the same results that my clients are enjoying?”
It took another few years of the boom-and-bust cycle of small business and a TON of learning and growing to help me figure out what works.
Here’s what I learned:
WHAT you say and WHO you say it to is far more important than how ‘fancy’ it looks.
Marketing DOESN’T have to be expensive to be effective.
The best marketing tells a STORY. Because at the end of the day, we’re all humans.
And I’ve learned countless other strategies, tactics, and ideas to help make marketing and communications simple, fun, and effective.
It’s been a great honor to share my knowledge with my nonprofit clients to help them amplify their impact, like these remarkable organizations:
That’s why I’m so excited to introduce my new training program, Market Your Mission Monthly. It’s a monthly subscription program where I go live on video every month to teach you the latest strategies and tactics on marketing, communications, and design.
