What part of communication actually matters?
I'd suggest, What you've achieved by giving to us, might fit in the overlap quite neatly.
Thanks to Social Hallucinations, MisEntropy, fffound.
What's this all about?
- I'm Mark Phillips, the founder and CEO of Bluefrog. After a decade working for both ActionAid and YMCA England, I decided in 1997 to create the fundraising agency that I had been searching for. This is my private space where I share ideas, results, research findings and the odd thought on fundraising. I try to avoid looking at my belly button and concentrate on stuff that will make fundraising more effective. It should all be stuff that you can actually use.
