Marlin Communications

Marlin is a creative agency – a specialist in working with causes and the charities that represent them. We help charities get supporters and hang onto them. Our work spans advertising, direct and digital marketing, and supporter relationship (loyalty program) communications. We believe that with experience, thought, and skill, communications can be developed that offer people the chance to create the world they want. Communications can influence people to advocate for change on behalf of people in need, and to donate money to support them. We are not afraid of being idealists. We are proud to be an example of how people can choose to use their skills to create change in the world– and do this during their working days. We believe that brand engagement and fundraising are intertwined, which is why we help our clients with: - Brand value proposition creation and position strategy - Branding including tone of voice and branding guidelines - Integrated brand engagement and fundraising campaigns spanning TVC, radio, out of home, press, and direct marketing. - Distinctive direct marketing appeals using direct mail and digital channels. - Product positioning and program communication development for acquiring and retaining regular givers. - Positioning, product development and promotion campaigns for community fundraising major donors, and bequests. - Bespoke communications including annual reviews, impact reports, and supporter newsletters. We are a team of seventeen including strategists, project managers, and of course creative copywriters, art directors and designers. We work closely with our clients and offer them direct access to dedicated teams that can take projects from planning all the way through to production, and apply lesson learnt to subsequent work as relationships and partnership develop. Our website carries details of all our team embers, examples of our work, and some of the generous feedback we have received.
