One day. One local nonprofit. A whole lotta good marketing advice.
Maybe your social media needs a little spark, or your stories deserve a stronger spotlight. Perhaps your flyers are stuck in 2003, or your gala could use a little more pizzazz. We’re inviting friendly Pittsburgh pros to get a little nebby and help your nonprofit tell its story, reach more people, and give your marketing the boost it deserves. You’re doing good. Let’s make sure more people see it.

John Chamberlin and Rachael Rennebeck are Pittsburgh jagoffs (the term of endearment version of jagoff of course) who cofounded YaJagoff Media, LLC. With decades of experience eating, drinking, shopping, living and being among yinzers, we birthed the Pittsburgh-centric company encompassing all things related to the 412, oh and the 724.
