Dear Dreamers and Doers,

We LOVE this reaction from arts and culture organizations who change the way they think about branding after spending an afternoon training with us:

“DRMTM’s workshop clearly explained how the importance of branding affects the other aspects of your organization. I wasn’t aware that growth and branding were tied so tightly.”

We love blowing some minds.

Even more than that – we love seeing arts and culture organizations of all sizes, knowledge and budgets break through barriers that have been holding them back by learning to lead with a bold brand.

A bold brand is the foundation for strong operations. 100%. Why? That’s where your mission, values and ability to achieve sustainable growth and support live. Your brand’s power to build capacity can blow away your organizational goals.

We learned most small to mid-sized organizations, and even some large ones, don’t know how to utilize their brands to grow and meet goals. DRMTM’s process of research, design, messaging and culture is engineered with capacity growth in mind. By wielding the tools of a bold brand, you align your ability to secure more resources and support for future growth and sustainability.

DRMTM is on a mission to get funders and foundations to award capacity-building grant money so arts and culture organizations can improve brand strategy.

If there’s another thing we keep hearing, it’s “funders don’t award money for marketing projects.” Sad, but true. We think they should. But branding isn’t marketing. To quote our friend Brian Sooy, “marketing is the push; branding is the pull.” The pull is what attracts resources and support to grow our missions.

DRMTM is teaching organizations how bold branding leads growth and working with funders to support them. We see breakthrough, do you?

Let’s talk about how growing a strong brand grows your organization’s capacity.

Here’s to breaking through,

Surale + Laura + Cheryl
