Content and engagement that drive impact

Content and engagement that drive impact

Great digital content is the key driver of engagement. But, all too often, not-for-profits publish what they can, rather than what truly connects. In an age of AI-driven search, we must go beyond the obvious to create content that delivers deep engagement.

Content and engagement that drive impact

In a rapidly evolving landscape, crafting compelling content is essential for non-profits to connect with their audiences and drive meaningful engagement.  We must go beyond publishing what our organisation delivers to take a more editorial stance, developing content that truly resonates with our communities. 

How we help

Many organisations create content based on what they do, rather than what their audience actually needs. This leads to low engagement and missed opportunities. We help you shift the focus, creating content that truly resonates – delivering value and offering a deeper, richer experience. In an era where search engines provide instant answers, engaging, well-researched content is more important than ever. We work with you to understand your audience, optimise your strategy and ensure your content stands out, connects and drives action.

Our approach

Understanding what works

We start by getting underneath the data so we can identify what engages your existing audience and what does not. 

  • Channel audit – assessing what’s driving engagement and reach across platforms
  • Social listening – identifying audience interests and conversations
  • Search analysis – auditing what content drives organic traffic
  • Website analytics – reviewing user behaviour and performance

Stakeholder insights

  • Interviews with internal teams – understanding goals, priorities and content challenges
  • Creation process review – identifying barriers and opportunities for improvement

User research

  • Quantitative and qualitative methods – gaining deep audience insights
  • Testing and validation – ensuring content aligns with real user needs

Shaping the strategy

  • Collaborative review – working with you to align insights, define a vision and set engagement goals
  • Defining KPIs – establishing clear success metrics for each channel
  • Topline channel approach – creating a focused plan for content, engagement and impact

Want to move from just publishing content to delivering real engagement? Get in touch – we’ll help you create content that goes beyond the obvious, meets user needs and stands out in an AI-driven world.

“We Are MC² have taken the time to really get to know and understand our audience and our organisation which really makes a difference when we are working together. I’ve been impressed with the plans they’ve put together and am confident it will deliver good results.”

Gemma Cornwell, Head of Fundraising and Communications, SRUK

“This process was an eye opener for the team here at the NHBF, it’s funny how you get into such a rut with content and the channels that you use each day. By taking this step back and working with the team at We Are MC² to identify our audiences, and what each of their individual needs are, made us really aware of what we needed to change. Our experience working with Liz and Ali was a really enjoyable one – not only did they both challenge us to think outside of the box they were also patient and supportive, giving us honest, invaluable advice.”

Samantha Myers, Digital Marketing Director, National Hair and Beauty Federation

“We Are MC² invested time in fully understanding the charity, its challenges and opportunities. Having gained that insight they delivered an inspired approach to identifying high-performing content, optimising the content pipeline, and mapping delivery of our storytelling through social media. Liz and Ali worked hard to get to know us as clients and have ultimately become an extension of the team. A pleasure to work with.”
