Lead Marketing Volunteer Needed!

Milwaukee Pets Alive isn’t just another rescue. We are here to shape rescue. Join us as our Lead Marketing Volunteer (leader of our Marketing Team) - a part of our Leadership Team! There’s never been a better time to volunteer with us if you are looking to be a part of something bigger than yourself - help us as we work towards building a sanctuary so we can serve even MORE special animals and make SE WI No Kill! This is a monumental undertaking and we are looking for TEAMMATES to make this vision a reality! Marketing is going to be hugely important in reaching the people and resources we need to create this center to help so many lives!

The Lead Marketing Volunteer is a leadership role and the individual will be an ambassador of the MPA organization, creating a community - both internal and external - that emphasizes the important work we do for the special animals we serve and exemplifies how each volunteer’s active involvement helps us achieve more for more precious lives. Our leadership volunteers each manage one piece of the organization. Our leadership volunteers together (the Leadership Team) orchestrate an amazing whole doing great works in our community...and our world! The Marketing Lead must enjoy working with and speaking to people as well as cultivating and developing the talents of others! Marketing gets animals home (and will help us get in front of the people we need to build this sanctuary!) and is a pillar to the success of our work.

The Lead Marketing Volunteer will:

• In collaboration with the Leadership Team, develop an annual marketing plan to meet organizational goals and further the mission of the organization.
• Support, guide, lead, oversee, and assist MPA Marketing Team members in executing a variety of marketing techniques in various mediums to carry out the annual marketing plan.
• Focus on traditional marketing concepts to increase our reach to individuals who are not online/not online often.
• In collaboration with the Leadership Team, will work on preparing marketing materials and copy consistent with overall organizational messaging and branding.
• Apply targeted marketing strategies to help match animals with special needs with individuals with the right people and environment to meet those needs.
• Lead an increased physical presence in the community through more community outreach/marketing events.
• Create and direct marketing materials to help our all-volunteer run organization find other volunteers who are passionate about the work we are doing and want to be a part of it!
• Work with Graphic Design volunteers in creating the visuals for marketing materials, merchandise designs, etc.
• Work with the Special Events Coordinators in the promotion of events.
• Manage Marketing Team volunteers coordinating various marketing activities.
• Communicate with all members of the MPA Marketing Team regularly to answer questions and make sure all are actively engaged and regularly working on components of the marketing plan, and that they are appreciated for their hard work!
• Participate in once-a-month Leadership Team meetings.
• Will coordinate any additional meetings for Marketing Team or other volunteers as needed for proper planning and execution of components of the marketing plan they are working on or for collaboration on projects.
• Possess strong attention to detail.
• Be creative and innovative!

Volunteer tasks are done around the volunteer’s own schedule - when it’s convenient for you - morning, day, or night - though some tasks will involve the occasional coordination of your schedule with the schedule of others (such as for meetings, phone calls, etc.).

Marketing experience preferred though not required if candidate possesses other leadership experience and has a strong drive/passion for marketing.

We are looking for one person to fill this role. The right individual will strongly believe in our mission, vision, and core values and have a sincere interest in elevating our organization, extending our reach, and growing with us (so commitment and dedication are important).

We are an entirely volunteer-run rescue. Everything you see was created and accomplished by a volunteer! We have no employees, so all volunteers should be self-motivated, be a self-starter with initiative, drive, ambition, and are able to work independently. One of the general qualities we are looking for in any teammate in this rescue are those who are "Go-givers" - people who want to make a difference in the world and for others and know the greatest impact we make is usually not the work we are paid to do in our 9-5, but that what we choose to do because in our hearts, we want to make others’ time on this planet easier and better! How our organization is structured requires that all volunteers be able to accept direction to produce cohesive messaging, vision, results, and practices consistent with that of the overall organization as a whole and then take that direction to lead in the execution of their piece of the organization. Individual must be able to follow through on their commitments. The Lead Marketing Volunteer should also be outgoing, personable, enthusiastic, and love people as marketing is all about engaging with people! MPA is looking for a volunteer to fill this role who recognizes the importance of working on behalf of the special animals we serve and will work hard for them as they are counting on us to save their lives!

When every person does a little to make a difference, together, we make change. Reaching as many people as possible to let them know we’re here and the important work we are doing for an important population of animals that have no one else but us is directly proportionate to what we can achieve, and the number of animals we can save. The more volunteer help we have, the more animals we can help. It’s that simple. Will YOU help? If you want to help and can fulfill the needs we are looking for in a volunteer for this role, please email volunteer@milwaukeepetsalive.org or reply to this posting.

Please help us do more for the animals of this community! Thank you.

Milwaukee Pets Alive (MPA) is an all-volunteer, No Kill, 501c3 special needs and considerations rescue that focuses on saving those local animals that have been passed over by, would not be accepted into, or would be killed by other rescues and shelters because of their needs and considerations and would have no other option for life except for through our organization. These animals may be shy, scared, under-socialized, injured, aged, differently-abled, have medical needs, or need extra resources - all deserve the chance to be loved and cherished. And all deserve time, understanding, patience, and good, comprehensive veterinary care to help them get happy, healthy, and reach their highest potential. Their lives are important.

Our mission, through our work aforementioned and through comprehensive programs and resources to educate and help community members help the animals in their own lives (thereby preventing more animals from entering the shelter system), is to end the killing of homeless companion animals in southeast WI. The population we rescue comprises those that continue to die in the greatest numbers in our community.

Our vision is for southeast WI to be one of the safest communities in the United States for companion animals.

We couldn’t help these special animals of our community that we do if not for the wonderful people who volunteer their time and talents!
