We exist to be a force for impact. 

Material is a strategic services company focused on helping nonprofits drive more meaningful engagement and impact through purpose-driven brand, communication and experience transformation.  

We do more with less.

While many of our services are comparable to a traditional agency, how we approach and produce our work, and why, is vastly different. Our client partners think of us as a highly specialized consultancy that can also perform the tasks and produce the solutions it recommends. 

Things that make us different. 

1. Agility

​We tailor our services to the organization and the goal it wants to attain and/or the challenge it needs to solve. Together we develop a plan, we align to it, and we action on it. 

2. Transparency

In the spirit of partnership, absolutely everything is openly shared with our clients, from the team doing the work to how it's going to be done, what to expect, what it will cost, and more. 

3. Dedication

Going above and beyond is not a reason to believe but rather the way of being for us. The time and effort we invest in our client partners is unrivaled, and this we can and will prove from day one.
