The right message to the right person at the right time.
We're a digital marketing agency for the ministries, nonprofits and publishers whose mission we share. We handle strategy, brand, websites and email, built around your audience and personalized to each person.
Why I built Giver
I've spent years getting good at one thing: making websites and email speak to a person like you actually know them. I wanted to point that at work that matters. So I built Giver.
You're making the world better, safer, healthier, holier. You've got a real audience and people who believe in you. But most of them never give, and the ones who give once mostly don't come back. Nothing reached them in a way that felt personal.
That's the gap I built Giver to close, without piling more onto your team: everything you already send, made to feel like it was written for the one person reading it.
The people who fund your mission deserve to be treated like the person they actually are, not a row in a database. You do that across the table with the donors you know. I want to do it for the thousands you'll never get to sit with.
“Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.”1 Peter 4:10 (NRSV)
You've got a gift. So have I. Mine happens to be useful to yours.
P.S. If you’d like to see what your own website and email could be worth before we talk, answer a few quick questions.
Every supporter’s experience should feel like it was made for them.
We use automation and good systems to make your website and email more human, not less. From the first opt-in to the welcome emails to every page and newsletter after, each person sees what fits who they are and what brought them to you.
We do that at scale, and we know this work well. We also share your values and care about your mission, which is why we do it.

- 600,000
- students taught web design, marketing and business online, on Udemy, Teachable and my own platforms.
- Since 2011

Now we put that experience to work for organizations whose mission we believe in.
“Brad has the rare skill to understand the dynamics of effective marketing and technical expertise to make everything work like a well oiled machine. Incredibly grateful for the team's attention to detail and the process they took us through.”
“Brad has been a huge blessing to all the work we are doing. His help has been invaluable, and he’s truly the best at meeting our needs, no matter what comes up. We’re so grateful to have him on our team to help us build and grow!”
Good, true and beautiful.
That’s the standard we hold our work to. Your website and emails should be honest about who you are, useful to the people you serve, and beautiful to look at.
The G.I.V.E.R. Method
Every project follows the same five steps: Gather, Identify, Voice, Engage and Retain, across your website and email.
Gather
We survey your audience and track what they do, so anonymous visitors become known subscribers.
Identify
We learn what brought them to you, the reason underneath it, and where they stand with you, from first-time reader to monthly partner.
Voice
We collect the words your supporters use about themselves, so your writing sounds like them.
Engage
Your site and email change for each person, and move them toward a first gift, a monthly gift or a purchase.
Retain
We keep running and improving it every quarter, so giving and sales keep growing.
Who Giver is for
- Christian ministries, apostolates, publishers, nonprofits, and charities.
- Organizations with an existing email list and website.
- Teams who want more from the audience they already have, in giving and in what they sell.
- Leaders who want a partner that keeps testing and improving the work, not a one-off campaign.
