By M+R ‘Tis the season…to spend endless hours in overly air-conditioned conference centers and then be poured out into overly humid city streets with thousands of your colleagues. But it will be fun, right? We hope so, and we’d love to hang with you!
Netroots Nation in New Orleans! Catch up with M+R Win’s Vice Presidents Ankur Asthana and Anne Thompson and Account Supervisor Maria Boldt at Netroots Nation in New Orleans on August 7-9. Are you headed to Netroots? Let us know so we can catch up here – and you don’t want to miss this rad session with our own Anne Thompson and an all-star cast of podcasters, youtubers, and influencers:
- Partnering with Progressive Media: Podcasts, YouTube, Creators & more: With the mainstream media bending the knee to Trump, it’s more urgent than ever for the left to strengthen and support the progressive media ecosystem. For years, the right wing has bested the left in investing in radio hosts, podcasters, YouTubers, Twitch streamers, creators and more. In the wake of “the podcast election,” it’s time for the progressive movement to champion our network of powerful voices. This session will discuss concrete ways that progressives can better collaborate with and amplify progressive media.
Bridge Conference in Oxon Hill, Maryland! Partner Marc Ruben, Senior Vice President of Creative Gwen McGarry, Senior Vice President Rachael Wolber, Vice President Henry Decker, Senior Account Supervisor Ragini Kathail, and Senior Data Analyst Taylor van Aalderen will all descend on the Gaylord Center from July 30-Aug 1. If you’ll be there, here’s some neat stuff you should know:
- M+R’s Ragini Kathail along with our clients at Natural Resources Defense Council are presenting:
Like Milk and Cookies: Advocacy and Fundraising Are a Perfect Pairing: Bring your favorite morning beverage for a master class in how to keep a core issue relevant for supporters over the long haul so you can continue delivering political and revenue results across ads, email, SMS, and more. - M+R’s Henry Decker will join our client Oceana in presenting:
Oceana’s Voyage: A Case Study of a Journey Through New Channels to Improved Donor Retention and Value: Using an 18-month case study, we’ll share with you the tale of a journey by Oceana to improve its donor value and retention by exploring new channels and routes for reaching its supporters. Join us to see how far out to sea you can venture to improve donor value and retention! - M+R’s Marc Ruben will dig into AI with a bunch of smarties to present:
AI Real Talk: What Your Donors and Competitors Are Saying (and What They’re Actually Doing): With nearly two-thirds of for-profit marketers already using AI and automation, AI is widening the gap between nonprofit and for-profit marketing programs. Is the nonprofit sector heading in the same direction? What are the likely implications for YOUR fundraising or advocacy program of using generative AI? And how might today’s leadership decisions impact the sector long-term? Come to this session if you’re tired of the breathless hype and crave real talk and real world data about how groups are using AI, their policies, and what donors are thinking about it all. - We’re having partyMIXER! RSVP Here! It’s on Thursday July 31 from 5:30-7:30 at the Silver Diner, 100 Waterfront St., Oxon Hill MD (5 mins from Gaylord)
