Can'd Aid is a non-profit built on the idea of "Rallying you to do good."
To date, they've built 6,610 bikes and skateboards, donated 2,500+ musical instruments, completed 47 work party days, and recycled 73 million cans.
The non-profit was started by Diana Ralston. Originally the goal was to help areas hit hard by either natural or man-made disasters. As the canned water distribution plan started working, Diana and her team realized there was more good they could be doing. But as they've grown and incorporated more programs they always struggled to communicate what exactly they did. After growing beyond their initial vision the team realized that they need to re-brand in order to continue their mission and gather support along the way.
In this episode, Diana shares about the messy process of re-branding a non-profit.
We believe that great marketing is built on great storytelling, but those stories must be crafted with intention and purpose. This podcast was born from our mission to close the gap between marketing strategy and production execution, because it’s in the confluence of these two elements that brands are elevated, become culturally relevant, and establish a lasting legacy.
As a marketer in the outdoor industry, the odds are stacked against you. Does this sound familiar?
“You’re part of a small, talented, yet overworked team with a limited budget facing hundreds of ways to grow your brand and stand out in a sea of sameness. Some days you feel like quitting and getting a corporate job that pays more but then you realize, I get to work in an industry that some people only dream of working in. Sure the challenges are real, but this is better than a cubicle right?” If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
Consider this podcast your guidebook to navigating the ever-changing world of marketing. This podcast is produced by Port Side Productions, a video production company that works with outdoor + athletic brands to help them stand out, launch products, build brand equity, and grow their business.
Storytellers by day, podcasters by night. While our day job keeps us busy creating films, we started this podcast because it's these types of deep, fundamental questions that keep us up at night.
