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?

VECTOR GLOBAL LOGISTICS

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 served as part-time Chief Impact Officer for four and a half years, while also managing all the impact and giving aspects of the company. And I co-host the Logistics With Purpose® podcast. Additionally, I led all efforts for a B Corp Certification, which we were awarded in March 2024.

HORIZON SERVICES, INC.

Horizon Services, Inc. (HSI) provides alcohol, drug, and mental health related services to adults and adolescents. All programs are evidence-based and provide a safe environment for understanding and addressing substance use disorder (SUD) and mental health-related issues that keep people from their full potential. HSI’s prevention programs help youth develop healthy relationships and live substance-free lives. In addition, HSI works in the community helping families, businesses, and public agencies recognize and develop responses to SUD which create safer and healthier neighborhoods.

Project: I created their last two impact reports, and created a third for the same ED before he moved to this organization.

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.

FORUM FOR THEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION

The Forum for Theological Exploration is a leadership incubator that inspires young people to make a difference through Christian communities. YTN is a national network of colleges, universities, and theological schools funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. to identify, ignite and cultivate the gifts of a new generation of Christian leaders who will make an impact in the world. As a partner, FTE supports, resources and promotes this national network of theology programs for high school students.

Project: I served as the fractional marketing director for YTN for two years. While in this role, I managed everything from marketing to public relations to social media to events to brand management and copy.

LEADING WITH DISC

Leading with DiSC exists to help people understand and communicate effectively with each other at work so that both employees and companies can thrive. They want to build a future where even those with major differences respect each other and can collaborate in the workplace.

Project: They had a very outdated website and wanted to stand out from their competitors and show why they were different. I created their brand message and voice, and then used that to write their website copy.

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.

"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

"Kristi had much expertise to share with me to help us have a greater impact. I believe her knowledge and experience will benefit us and many others both in for-profits and in nonprofits alike. Thank you, Kristi! Looking forward to working together more to make a difference in the world!"

- Tina Wade Osuna, Women of Hope Guatemala

“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.”
