Louder Than Words, Inc.

“Louder Than Words understands that nonprofit organizations like NFTE New England operate in a highly resource-constrained environment, which too often precludes an adequate investment in public relations. As a Press for Action partner and a nonprofit manager who lacks a PR budget, I have come to deeply value the good works of corporate leaders like Louder Than Words that generously give of their time and talent.”

“While some pro-bono efforts take a back seat to the paying clients on the roster, Louder Than Words made us feel like we were its only client. As a direct result of the widespread buzz created in the local press, our event was a major success, drawing hundreds of attendees on one of the coldest nights of the year ... Louder Than Words has provided invaluable PR counsel throughout this process.”

Welcome to Press for Action… a new program that offers resource-strapped non-profits the opportunity to conduct high-level media relations outreach AT NO COST! The goals of the program are straightforward:

To help Boston area non-profits generate meaningful press coverage and build awareness, and
To enrich our community with inspirational and thought-provoking news content.

How it works
Every quarter, Louder Than Words selects one Press for Action partner—a 501(c)(3) non-profit based within the greater Boston Metro area. After an initial meeting to examine organizational goals and timely initiatives, we develop a succinct, one-month media relations program. While the scope of each program varies, it typically involves 20 to 40 hours of media outreach on a partner’s behalf. Press for Action partners receive the full complement of services that Louder Than Words’ clients receive: media training, interview briefing materials, clipped versions of all secured press, and direct access to a designated account representative. Additionally, we provide our Press for Action partners with comprehensive media contact lists (including phone numbers and e-mails) so they may continue growing the relationships that were established during the Press for Action engagement.

Louder Than Words looks for inspiring, purposeful, unique, and passionate Press for Action partners. Size is not an issue.

Why Press for Action?
Since day one, Louder Than Words’ mission has been to promote the exemplary actions made by individuals and organizations. Unfortunately, many of Boston’s most inspiring individuals and organizations lack the necessary funding and resources to pursue structured media relations outreach. Consequently, some of our community’s most compelling and enriching stories are not being told. Press for Action is the actualization of our corporate mission, and the most direct way in which we can give back to this community.
