Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
• Raise Awareness and Volunteership
• Decrease Over-Population
• Educate and Promote Good Habits and Proper Pet Care
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Where there is no interest, there is no action. We must wage the war against apathy and ignorance.
We hope to accomplish this through the use of a standard, yet powerful advertising tool; i.e. the marriage of video and music. While we have no delusions of sparking world-wide change, realistically, we hope to capture new volunteers, and encourage those who are already active in this cause.
The bottom line is - any/all efficacy, is at the mercy of our resources.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
We currently have volunteers who are also in digital marketing. We are more capable now, than in past years.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Our website was a first big step. We are building from it, as the foundation of expanding our platform.
