Andrea Aker Educates Nonprofit Leaders About Building Brand Awareness Through Media Relations

In the nonprofit world, an organization’s sustainability is linked to community support and awareness. Yet with limited budgets and resources, achieving widespread awareness can be challenging.

Andrea Aker recently presented to a group of Valley nonprofit leaders about the fundamentals of media relations, offering guidance on story identification, the concept of “newsworthiness,” outreach tips and proven strategies for building long-term relationships.

“Telling Your Story Through Media” was part of the Full Circle Accelerator Program, hosted by Social Venture Partners Arizona, which aims to educate, engage and mentor hand-picked nonprofit leaders in the Phoenix area over the course of a year. They gain access to numerous workshops and trainings spanning strategy mapping, financial diversification planning, communications and more.

Andrea is a long-term partner and philanthropist with SVP Arizona, which is an organization that takes a venture capital approach to funding local nonprofits. She has assisted the organization in numerous capacities over the years, previously serving as a board member, aiding the grantor process and supporting fundraising events.
