How It Works
When an association partners with the Donovan Group, we launch a dedicated hotline for members to use in times of need.
1. Simple Onboarding
We create a phone number and an email address for the association, exclusive to member districts.
- To help share this benefit with members, we will supply the association with a branded marketing toolkit that includes suggested webpage copy, a one-page flyer, a presentation slide, social media content, and an email message to send to members.
2. Dedicated Support Team
A member of the Donovan Group will remain in contact with association leadership, provide monthly reports on members’ hotline activity, and provide ongoing support as needed.
3. Easy Project Flow
School and district leaders may use the hotline at any time. The Donovan Group team member responding to the call will handle all coordination with writers and communication strategists as needed.
4. Fast, High-Quality Turnaround
All crisis-related content is produced same-day or as agreed upon by the member district and Donovan Group staff. Polished, district-specific content is delivered directly on time every time.
