Bill's Story – Consultant's high-level skills transform organization
Bill, from the Niagara region is a semi-retired, international branding and marketing consultant who was looking for ways to apply his skills to help organizations in his community.
At the Niagara Centre for Independent Living (NCIL), Bill was able to apply his skills and help out the organization, which supports people living with disabilities. Bill helped the Board and staff to learn about the process of marketing and re-branding from online surveys to graphic design. The result was a comprehensive marketing plan, and a bold new look.
As the Executive Director of NCIL reflected, “There is no way we could have afforded to access even a single consultation from someone with Bill’s skill and experience.”
