Livingston Communications is a strategic marketing design firm that helps nonprofits develop their authentic brand identity with communication tools that share their mission statements, document their success stories, and define and articulate their specific messages to the media and to their target community of donors, volunteers, and funders. We provide marketing campaigns, fundraising strategies, social media outreach, and visual identity products, as well as communications training for nonprofit leaders.
Our History
We started in 1995 as a publicity boutique for people with passion about positively changing the world. In the nonprofit arena, our team has created programs, secured funding, created promotional awareness, and increased community support for many notable causes. A favorite project that we spearheaded from concept to funding was the Big Mouth Games, an educational game show underwritten by Crest to teach underprivileged children about oral health. Leveraging publicity for business growth, we have secured and managed strategic promotional placements for clients at print, broadcast, and live venues that have included Book TV, The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, The National Baseball Hall of Fame, Hollywood Reporter, ABC World News, Vanity Fair, The Early Show, Harvard’s Risk Symposium, and many more.
