Fundraising Using Culture Segments Presented by Jo Brehaut, Morris Hargreaves McIntyre

MHM’s Culture Segments is a powerful psychographic profiling system that helps cultural organisations build relationships across every facet of their operation. In this webinar, Jo Brehaut, MHM Director for Australasia, will showcase the application of Culture Segments for fundraisers. She will start with a broad overview of the psychographic nature of the framework, before thoroughly introducing each of the segments; their propensity to ‘give’, and what is most likely to get them to support your cause. This newly gained knowledge will help practitioners shape their program of activity and communications, for maximum return.
