Industry Highlights

Pierpont delivers results for nonprofits and higher educational institutions through strategic PR and marketing.

Nonprofit and educational organizations face unique challenges and opportunities in communicating with stakeholders, donors and supporters. From garnering positive media attention to developing donor and volunteer-targeted campaigns, Pierpont has delivered marketing and PR results for our nonprofit clients.

For nearly 40 years, we’ve worked with trade associations, member-based organizations, tier-one higher education institutions, and other nonprofits to refine and amplify their causes and missions.

Whether focused on members, boards of directors, donors, or the media, Pierpont understands how to develop and implement successful programs that support an organization’s goals. Our teams have created and managed successful local, regional, national and international trade association events and campaigns. We’ve also built awareness that led to increased membership, while positioning leaders as subject matter experts in their fields.

In addition, Pierpont understands how to elevate experts and craft informative online content that showcases nonprofits and academic institutions in ways that are appealing to generative AI models. This kind of positioning helps ensure that our clients are featured in answers and sources generated by tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.
