I help nonprofits give their mission the visibility they deserve through various marketing strategies. I am a seasoned marketing expert with a track record in digital advertising, content and email marketing strategies; I bring more than ten years of experience in the nonprofit sector. Clients value my ability to see the big picture and create practical, executable marketing strategies. My transformative digital initiatives in a previous role with Brown Bagging For Calgary’s Kids boosted new website visitors by 141 percent and website engagement by 130 percent. I also grew their online community by almost 20 percent across all social media platforms and generated hundreds of leads through targeted Google and Facebook ads. As a creative thinker with a growth mindset, I love bringing ideas to life through painting, drawing, and dreaming. I offer Fractional Marketing support for nonprofits looking to: Increase awareness Boost fundraising efforts Build a thriving community of supporters. Reduce stress and workload. Execute strategic and consistent marketing efforts. Fractional marketing gives small and medium-sized nonprofits access to the expertise of a seasoned marketer on a part-time (fractional) basis. It's for organizations looking to enhance their marketing efforts with a small budget, and that means hiring inexperienced staff who require more effort and time to manage. marcela@marcelazafra.com www.marcelazafra.com

Hi Reader I know how it feels when your team is stretched thin and the marketing to-do list keeps growing. But hiring a full fractional marketer might not be in the cards yet—and that’s okay. If you need a little extra help (and a strategic brain in your corner), I’ve got you covered. For $899/month, you’ll get: ✨ 1000 points you can spend however you want (like a marketing menu!) ✨ A 60-minute strategy call every month to check in, plan ahead, and tackle your goals ✨ An extra 30-minute project call whenever you pick a project from the menu Book a call to see if this is a fit for you. Here’s a peek at what you can use your points for: • 8 social media posts – 1000 points • 1 graphic design piece (up to 5 pages) – 600 points • 1 website update/edit – 500 points • 1 email newsletter (copy + design) – 1000 points • 1 one-page graphic – 200 points • Annual Report (6 pages, copy + design) – 1000 points • Impact/Community Report (2 pages, copy + design) – 1000 points There are only 4 spots available! Book yours! A few things to know: • Points don’t roll over (so make sure you use them each month!) • Turnaround time for projects is about 2–3 weeks • There’s a 6-month minimum partnership (because real impact takes time) • Need a little extra? You can buy more points if you need them! This is perfect if you’re looking for an extra set of hands—and a strategic partner—without the full-time commitment. If this sounds like what you need, just hit reply and I’ll send you all the details or book a call with me and we can talk this through! Talk soon, Marcela |

Hello Reader I can hardly believe it’s been one year since I officially took the leap into running my business full-time! This past year has been a rollercoaster of learning, growth, and (yes!) a few moments that took my breath away. But above all, it has been a year filled with connection, purpose, and incredible partnerships. I’m so grateful for every nonprofit leader and team who has trusted me to support their marketing and communications. Together, we’ve built strategies, launched...
I've worked with an organization whose feed looked busy, but it wasn't moving the needle. Here is why. Reader, last week we talked about email—and how it is way more effective than social media. So, what is the purpose of social media then? This is what I tell my clients:Social media is your window to the world.It helps you stay top of mind and build trust. It’s where you show up as yourself, keep your brand promise, and stay true to your mission. But sometimes, we get so busy that social...
Most nonprofits pour their energy and resources into social media, but the ROI numbers tell a different story. Reader, I continue to see a lot of hesitation from nonprofits to send emails consistently and in a rgular (and higher) cadence. Here’s the truth: Email marketing generates $36 for every $1 spent Social media? Just $8 for every $1 invested Yet, I still see hesitation from nonprofits when it comes to sending more emails. Not just during campaigns (and even then, many cringe when I...
