Charities & Non-Profits

Working towards a better world

“I am at my very best when the messages that I am communicating mesh with my core values and beliefs. I want to use my skills to make my community, country and world better which is why my career has focussed so strongly on working for charities and non-profits. I understand the importance of their message and understand how they must do so in the most cost-effective means possible.”
James Howe

Communicate & Howe! is all about making your community a better place to live whether your community is a neighbourhood or the whole world. The best part is that we’ve got the experience to help you create a strategy, determine the tools to help you get the biggest bang for your buck and the talent to execute it so that you can change the world. We love helping charities and non-profits-including arts and culture organizations-to change the world and inspire genuine, organic change.

Most charities and non-profits would like to do more, achieve better results or enhance their professionalism. That’s where we come in. And we’ll do it with a fixed, agreed upon price up front that gives you the budget certainty you require.

Everything from social media to newsletters (e-newsletter or traditional) or media relations will be considered as a part of the mix to inspire action and tell your stories.
