“Remembering that communications should be a line item on every development, that it shouldn't be an afterthought in order to really help change the dynamic, change perception, and be able to build more affordable housing.”
Our Chief Growth Officer, Christianne Brunini, joined Katie Goar of Quadel on ChangeMakers to discuss the role of strategic communications in affordable housing, from challenging misconceptions to telling the stories behind impactful developments.
As Christianne shares, communications goes beyond a website or logo. It helps organizations tell their story, demonstrate their impact, and build support for their work.
Topics they covered:
• Why a new website or logo rarely solves the underlying problem, and how 30|90 Marketing approaches Brand Infrastructure™
• Why housing authorities may benefit from revisiting their strategic plans
• How award submissions can influence policy and funding conversations
• Why consistency matters more than perfection in personal branding
• The story behind the Magnolia States Women’s Affordable Housing Network chapter and its Annual Clay Shoot Fundraiser on November 3
Thank you to Katie Goar for featuring Christianne on ChangeMakers and for the conversation!
