People loved them, had to have them, and Detroit was dragged along. From two marketers I read faithfully, Willis Turner and Seth Godin, here are some ideas on ideas. Willis wrote 3 Deadly Fundraising Words You Probably Don’t Even Realize You’re Saying recently in Fundraising Success. He did a wonderful riff on how the (then!!) Big Three US auto manufacturers steadfastly resisted the idea of putting cup holders in their cars. Eventually they showed up in Japanese cars.

This question likely looms over you daily if your job is to pitch stories to the media or create content for your organization’s owned media channels. To get your story picked up and noticed, it’s critical to have something current to latch on to — a hook that adds a sense of urgency by connecting to something that’s happening right now. The good news is that there are plenty of good hooks out there.

Christina Xu has stood up recently as a champion of microdonations for the work her organization does in Detroit. Her most recent post at PBS’s MediaShift Blog pertains to efforts by local foundations around Detroit, MI that specialize in offering microdonations of $1ooo to $5000 to help revitalize the Motor City. The definition of a ‘microdonation’ can be tricky, or at least scalable. For many of us, a $50 donation to our favorite cause is no micro-gift.

Fisher Foundation in Detroit. When resources are limited and pressure is high, it’s easy to fall into bad habits with our communications. This is especially true in the nonprofit world, where communicators are constantly having to raise enough money to keep the lights on while also achieving the mission. So we take shortcuts. We regurgitate old press releases and repurpose the same templates for our annual reports and donor communications.

 We are all living in our version of Detroit, where the stable, predictable opportunities are gone. I get a lot of questions from artists and arts administrators about what their career path should be.  So here's a friendly reminder: There is no such thing as a career path. We are well past the days when a person could reasonably expect a fairly linear path from one job or gig to the next. That's true for the arts and I think that's true for most other career paths.
