Company Profile

Company Overview

Are you tapping the potential support from your audience?

If you aren’t listening to your audience, you can’t answer that question. Communication is a two-way street but often, as experts in their work, nonprofits find themselves doing all the talking. When organizations listen, they can easily identify potential supporters, discover what words and stories resonate with them, and clear a path for them to fully engage. That means higher attendance at your programs, increased donations to your campaigns, and awesome numbers to share with funders.

Emily Taylor, the principal of teenyBIG, is an expert listener who is passionate about helping nonprofits find better ways to engage the people who matter to them. She guides teams in stepping outside of their day-to-day work in order to create stronger connections with their audiences, turning lackluster followers into enthusiastic supporters.

Emily teaches organizations how to apply human-centered design, a process that re-evaluates the experience of a product or service’s end-user. She designs and facilitates workshops to help teams understand and expand the user experience and offers coaching packages to further guide that process.
