Digital marketing is not only the marketing of products, these days but also the driving force for real social change in the modern world. It’s even more critical to make organic digital presence for non profits and social enterprises to amplify the voice of the mission, connect with the underserved communities and bring in lasting impact. Stronger Families dedicated to breaking the cycle of family and domestic violence through supporting fathers through their Caring Dads program is a compelling example of this.
The belief that stronger families can be built through better fathers and healthier fathers and children interactions with each other is at the heart of the Stronger Families strategy to prevent intergenerational violence. The Caring Dads program of 17 weeks of evidence based work is focused on safe parenting, rebuilding trust and reinvigorating the relationship that fathers have with their families. However, that’s not the program, it’s how they market it digitally that really propels their social mission.

1. Storytelling That Inspires
Storytelling is one of Stronger Families’ most effective tools in the marketing strategy. Emotional resonance is created by real life transformation stories of participants in this program who share what the work really brings real results. These are working by humanizing their mission that is creating a social bond with attendees, through blog posts, video testimonial and various social media content to ground that message. For any non profit story telling across platforms (blogs, Instagram Reels, emails etc.) fosters very genuine engagement and encourages community support!
