Our team at Flourish is passionate about giving back to our community. The Ivy Initiative was created after recognizing local businesses and organizations’ needs for communication and marketing support. Often, nonprofit organizations and budding startups are so busy wearing all the different hats it takes to operate, that marketing and public relations get pushed to the side or forgotten. We support select organizations through strategic marketing, event planning, social media, video production and media outreach at little to no cost. Let us help you grow and meet your goals. After all, a little bit of goodness spreads like ivy!

ORGANIZATIONS

Nonprofit organizations are vital to the community as they help contribute to economic stability and mobility. Many community members rely on organizations like these to help with food assistance, education and so much more. We understand that you may not have the budget or resources to strategically market your organization. We assist local nonprofits to help increase awareness of the awesome work that they provide for the community.

BUDDING

STARTUPS

We understand that it takes a village when launching a new business, just ask Megan! As a small business, the last thing that comes to mind is your marketing and communication efforts. There can be so many different costs that come up with starting a business such as rent, supplies and the occasional unforeseen bill. We provide low-cost to no-cost services when you are launching your start-up. Just don’t forget us when you’re a Fortune 500! (wink wink)
