WE BELIEVE IN BEING THE CHANGE.

I choose to support people who are improving lives. Whether you're a nonprofit, social enterprise, or another type of social impact company, you’re my people. And so are the folks below. We are in the businesses of doing things differently. Won’t you join us?

Habitat for Humanity Chicago

They’re committed to seeing Chicago thrive. By partnering with committed residents and trusted organizations, they help families and communities achieve strength, stability, and self-reliance through housing, beautification, and development projects.

Project: I re-wrote the majority of their website for a relaunch, which included approximately 30 pages of content. I also provided feedback and suggestions on some of the page names and layouts.

FOR MOMENTUM

As the largest agency in the country solely dedicated to fostering social impact partnerships, For Momentum brings nonprofits and businesses together to collaborate, and raise funds and awareness for the issues they care about. Driven by both results and relationships, their goal is to see their clients, community and culture thrive.

Project: I rewrote their website homepage and services pages.

Dwell

Dwell exists to employ refugees in the community of Clarkston, Georgia. And through the service of cleaning, they employ people who have come to their community from all over the world who are looking to rebuild a better life for themselves and their families.

Project: I wrote their price increase email, which notified all residential and commercial customers that rates would increase to further ensure a livable wage for employees. Additionally, Dwell won my holiday Communications Strategy Session giveaway, so I performed a review of all their marketing and communications, provided feedback, and offered suggestions moving forward.

Orange

Orange is a division of The reThink Group, a nonprofit organization providing resources and training to help churches maximize their influence on the spiritual growth of the next generation. They have amazing curriculum from birth through adult years and a fantastic series of events for church leaders, volunteers, students and kids.

Project: I served as the Event Marketing Director here for almost six years, so I pop in for odds and ends when they need outside help. Projects often include assisting with book launch marketing and event marketing.

TrueNorth Freedom Project

TrueNorth helps individuals, families, and ministries navigate our sex-saturated culture through resources and conversations. By learning how to talk about sexual issues with grace and compassion, relationships will be strengthened, kids will be better prepared for the challenges, and the Church will become more effective in leading many to true freedom in Christ.

Project: I wrote their 2016 year-end giving campaign, assisted the founder with her speaker one sheet, advised on their event strategy, and consulted on general marketing and communications needs on several occasions.

Vector Global Logistics is changing the world through supply chain. They work with you to find efficient, cost-effective solutions for moving the products you care about from point A to point B. And they believe that your success isn’t only in the profit that you make, but the impact you help create.

Project: I audited their old website and brand message, wrote their new website, provided art direction and design feedback, updated their pitch deck, and gave marketing advice for their updated website and launch. (Website won a 2020 Davey Award!)

“‘Exceed expectations’ is an overused expression with few who can document occasions when they actually did exceed expectations. Kristi Porter is one who can point to the work she did with the Atlanta Dream Center and accurately state that she exceeded all of our expectations. You will be well pleased with the results achieved by bringing Kristi onto your team.”

- Mark Northcutt, Atlanta Dream Center

"Kristi is able to take your vision of communication and bring it to life. Her help on marking our guide saved me incredible time. She took initiative and helped bring clarity to our vision. As a nonprofit leader, I'm in the trenches and it's hard to be everything I need to be. Signify helped relieve this tension with expert help in marketing and communications."

- Tasha Morrison, Be The Bridge

“We’ve worked directly with Kristi for some time, and are always pleased with her resourcefulness, knowledge and expertise in helping us gain momentum and market share for our business. She’s super easy to work with, and is accessible and competitive in pricing for what she offers. We love her, and are super thankful for what she’s added to our business.”

- Mark Miller, Restoration Dallas Chiropractic

“Kristi has been a reliable freelance writer for our publications, including Connect Faith, over the past few years. She is well-connected in the industry, and takes care to hit deadlines and put together stories with strong sources. I'd recommend her for other writing projects.”

- Kelsey Olgetree, Connect Magazines

"Kristi Porter is an endless source of knowledge. She has helped Dr. Bombay’s and The Learning Tea with strategy and branding. She has also helped us clean up our website and given us tons of great ideas on how to find donors and partners for our project. This is a woman who is constantly in the know about everything from strategy and development to the business trends on social media. She will always go the extra mile. Aside from her ingenious ideas, she is a great human being and a pleasure to work with. And if you weren’t already hiring her, you would want to be her friend."

- Katrell Christie, Dr. Bombay's and The Learning Tea

"Most small organizations think they need specialists to focus on social media, email marketing, Facebook advertising, website design, etc., but this approach is expensive and typically doesn't produce the desired results. Why? Marketing requires a system where the parts work together to accomplish the real goal of more customers or donors. With Kristi and Signify, my team and I got access to a smart, experienced generalist capable of wearing many hats and solving multiple problems. Kristi is the marketing equivalent of a swiss army knife. I've hired her multiple times, and I know I'll do so again."

- Kevin Jennings, Junction 32

"I've worked with Kristi Porter, the founder of Signify, for over six years. Kristi is one of the best writers and marketers I've known. She has an amazing breadth of perspective and experience with non-profits, cause-focused organizations and corporate giants that weave into her practical skills of storytelling and marketing. She's adept at clearly identifying shifts and tweaks to websites, email campaigns, and marketing content that results in increased engagement and positive response. Following her methodologies has resulted in sell-out events, audience growth, and follower engagement. She's a trustworthy, capable and passionate marketing professional."

- Jennifer Wilder, Orange

"I worked with Kristi on both launching and ongoing marketing strategies for my product, The Hope Deck. Her ability to think on a strategic, business-wide level, as well as day-to-day tactical actions I need to take in my business has been invaluable. I credit a large part of my successful Kickstarter launch and funding to Kristi and her coaching. Thank you Kristi!"

Jen Gordon, The Hope Deck

"Kristi is so great to work with, and just a cool person to know! Plus, she is super talented. Hire her!"

- Naeem Fazal, Author

"What I love about Kristi is her ability to take something that feels really complicated and overwhelming and make it simple and straightforward. I have had the chance to work with her a few times, and each time I am impressed by her ability to really listen and come up with thoughtful and practical advice and solutions. She is professional, down to earth, organized, and stays in the know. She is a delight and worth every penny!"

- Deb Brazzel, Leading Connected

"I recently had the privilege of receiving a consult from Kristi, and was blown away by her insight and knowledge. I immediately applied her suggestions and saw immediate results. She offered me compassionate, constructive, judgment-free feedback, and I highly recommend her services to any champions of good!"

- Aisha Adkins, Our Turn 2 Care

“I've hired Kristi/Signify for some contract copywriting assignments where I needed to scale writing to meet tight client timelines. And she has always delivered, both in terms of being on-time and delivering top-notch copy, even when writing 2,000-4,000 words an article. She is in the top 10% of copywriters I've used, and believe me, I've hired quite a few over the years. If you hire her, rest assured that she will deliver on her promises. It will always be of the highest caliber writing that resonates emotionally with your audience, is highly engaging, and rings true with your brand's voice/tone/personality.”

- Miles Anthony Smith, Imaginasium Inc.

“I hired Kristi before the launch of my nonprofit. She helped me create a brand narrative and voice for our organization, so that all of our copy is cohesive and sounds authentic to who we are across all channels, which also allows us to create new content easily. With this brand narrative in place as a guideline, we were able to secure $12,000 in grants before our launch!

Kristi also wrote a two-month, day-by-day marketing plan that broke down everything that needed to be done into easy tasks. This was a lifesaver, and I no longer felt overwhelmed! Kristi went above and beyond for us, and I have received so much priceless insight and resources from her. I will hire her again and again!”

- Jaycina Almond, The Tender Foundation
