Messaging & Content

Messaging & Storytelling​

Clear and purposeful messaging that resonates with your supporters. Emotional narrative that connects donors to your mission. Together, these two elements are unstoppable. We help nonprofits develop their case for support, put together a messaging framework for major campaigns, and develop their storytelling strategies.

Impactful Content

Writing is our jam! But we are not copywriters, we are strategists who write. It starts with clarity of purpose: what are we trying to communicate and who is the audience? We will help you shape the message and positioning, ask probing questions, interview stakeholders, and craft quality content focused on mission and impact. We provide a wide range of content services including the following:

  • Annual and end of year reports and presentations for funders
  • Constituent and volunteer stories
  • News releases, articles
  • White papers, journal articles, newsletters
  • Internal communications and messaging
  • Talking points and speeches
  • News releases, news articles, interviews
  • Fundraising messaging and appeals
  • Website content, social media posts, and ads

Do you have a specific objective that you are looking to tackle? Strategy sessions are a great place to start. When you book a time, you will be prompted to describe your objectives and what you’d like to cover during our strategy session. $250/Session flat fee will be invoiced to your organization.

    Nice Things People Are Saying

    "I have had the pleasure of knowing Olga for more than 15 years. She was an advocacy consultant when I worked for a large cancer organization, and I was impressed with her professionalism, her persuasive writing, her knowledge of online marketing, and her client service skills. We stayed in touch and I followed her career as she worked for several large nonprofit organizations. When she started LemonSkies, I was thrilled to bring her on as a consultant to the cancer advocacy organization I lead. She has helped us with our online fundraising, social media, and market. She is a creative thinker, skilled marketing and fundraising professional, excellent writer, and strategic advisor. We are grateful for her help and counsel."
    Shelley Fuld NassoNational Coalition for Cancer Survivorship
    "Lemon Skies helped us understand our storytelling needs and provided creative ideas to tackle the issue, resulting in useful tools that helped us gather impactful content. Much needed to tell the amazing stories of Special Olympics athletes."
    Cristina RodriguezSpecial Olympics
    "As the account lead Olga was client focused leading her staff to provide marketing strategy, program evaluation, and marketing content that furthered our program goals. I greatly valued her creativity and ingenuity. When we said no, we've always done it this way she pushed us to think "why not" and to try something new. And she could always come up with cost effective ideas to cater to a non-profit budget. Olga is such a strategic thinker and can help find efficiencies and improve processes to get to a better work product. Finally, I always appreciated Olga's dedication to building team and keeping the work fun. You will love working with her!"
    Clarissa Garcia American Heart Association
    "Olga literally changed the way Special Olympics engaged and solicited funds via the digital medium. She put new protocols and systems in place, initiated a true digital cadence of communication, and raised LOTS OF MONEY for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. She's creative, smart, collaborative, laser-focused and tenacious--the perfect qualities for any development team member."
    Connie GrandmasonSpecial Olympics
    "I had the pleasure of working with Ryan during my tenure at Special Olympics. He is a consummate professional and was always available to help our group meet the needs of corporate partners. He is extremely knowledgeable in social media and in constant pursuit of increasing his knowledge base to leverage opportunities. His passion and commitment add to the list of his talents that make him a great asset for any organization."
    Shirin NazemzadehAFK Creators
    "Olga and I worked side by side in building and executing an integrated, multi-channel donor program. She managed (juggled!) all facets of the online channel -- strategy, creative, and analysis -- and led our migration to a new eCRM. Even with all that to her credit, perhaps what I most appreciated about Olga was her success in breaking down some of the internal silo walls, creating stronger collaboration among the various "owners" of our organization's online experience."
    Shannon McCrackenThe Nonprofit Alliance
    “I had the pleasure of working with Ryan on a panel presentation given at Digital Capital Week. Although much of his work is in the digital space, he's also a compelling and engaging speaker. He has a talent for taking the complex work that he does and distilling it into the essential elements, making it relevant for a diverse audience. I look forward to working with him again soon!”
    Em HallCitizen Effect
    "I have worked with Olga for 15+ years. She is an expert in direct response marketing and is often one of my "wise council" go-to's when I'm tackling a new topic or program and just need guidance. She's a no-nonsense manager and is great at building teams while getting it all done. I always look forward to another opportunity to work with Olga."
    Peter GenuardiConcord Direct
    "I had the pleasure of working with Olga for 3 years at the American Diabetes Association. Throughout our time working together, I was able to witness firsthand her ability to not only consistently envision, develop and see through successful campaigns for the betterment of the organization, but transform an entire online fundraising program. Olga is extremely strategic, and always striving to not just solve the problem for this month or quarter, but set a program up for great successes in the long term. Not satisfied with the complacency of what is working right now, Olga makes a point to always be up to speed on the latest trends and technologies in the industry, and apply them to the benefit of whatever project she is managing. I learned so much from working alongside Olga. I sincerely look forward to the opportunity to work with her again in the near future."
