Matterlab

Ever wondered what it means to have an “organizational identity” or why it matters?

Here’s what has to say about it:

“Matterlab identified core competencies, helped shape the vision and the voice, and provided recommendations across the broad spectrum of identity that will help us make the necessary changes and hopefully grow to even greater potential in the future.”

We asked our network, and it delivered. 💫

How might social impact leaders navigate today’s communication complexities?

These five principles will help you communicate effectively without compromising your core values.

What’s better than a room full of 900 people who care about social impact communications? Having a science-fair-style poster showcase that allows them to show their work. Check out a few of our favorites.🌟

A little behind-the-scenes look at ours: Leaders often come to Matterlab because they’re going through a big change — a leadership transition, a new strategic plan, a rebrand. This can lead to experiencing an identity crisis, in which the team isn’t sure exactly who they are, what they do, or how to talk about their work. This misalignment can cause real challenges — in fundraising, staff recruitment and retention, and more. When it comes to social impact strategy at the intersection of communication, innovation, and education, we are the experts! We help leaders clarify their identity and communicate their impact, especially in moments like these.

As we like to say, we don’t to crisis communications; we do existential crisis communications. 😉

Thanks for organizing this amazing annual conference! We loved every moment — especially meeting up with friends of Matterlab, old and new. ❤️
