    Key Messages and Brand Strategy
    Silicon Valley Children’s Fund invests in high impact programs that help the foster youth of Santa Clara County become successful and self-sustaining adults. Our Taproot Foundation team of Pro Bono Consultants crafted unique brand positioning and tailored messages for SVCF. Through a discovery audit that involved interviewing SVCF supporters, peers and clients, we developed recommendations for the SVCF brand strategy and key messages. Key deliverables included positioning, core brand attributes, elevator pitches and the key messages to help the organization's leaders articulate their programs and impact. We then trained the SVCF board of directors to be more effective champions of the organization.
