Account management in the Nonprofit sector, with Lauren Jones
Welcome to episode 146. This episode will be really valuable if you're an agency account manager or an owner working with charities, nonprofits or mission driven brands, or if you're just curious about how the social impact sector operates differently and what account managers can learn from it. Lauren Jones is Senior Director of Client Services at Wide Eye, a digital creative agency for purpose-driven organisations & changemakers, and has spent her entire career in the Nonprofit sector.
In this episode, we cover:
• what makes working with nonprofit clients different from for-profit
• why impact, not revenue, is often the most important KPI.
• how to build and structure an account management function inside an agency.
• how to shift your agency from project based sort of more transactional work into longer term strategic partnerships.
• practical strategies for measuring and demonstrating impact, often through powerful storytelling rather than just data.
• Creating a really interesting stakeholder engagement design.
• coaching clients so they can evangelize about your work internally
• building long-term trust that keeps your account strong and sustainable.
Even if your clients are all commercial brands, then Lauren's advice about strategic thinking, building relationships and aligning with client priorities will definitely resonate.
