Mission-driven organizations
A communications lead for organizations that can't fund a full-time one.
Socoz Design provides nonprofits, health alliances, churches, and community organizations with a part-time in-house communications and marketing lead. Tim Bish fills that role for MiHIA, the Michigan Health Improvement Alliance, and ran marketing for a nonprofit alongside five business units during his in-house years at Vantage Plastics.

The role
What does a part-time communications lead do?
Keeps social media consistent, keeps the website accurate and findable, writes partner and supporter communications, supports launches and newsletters, and turns program work into stories funders and partners can see. For MiHIA, that means Facebook and LinkedIn, website content, partner outreach materials, and reusable content systems for a regional alliance.
Findability
Why does findability matter for a mission-driven organization?
Partners, funders, volunteers, and the people you serve look you up on Google and in AI assistants before they reach out. An organization with thin or outdated pages gets left out of those answers. Clear pages about your programs, service area, and partners fix that.
Churches
Do you work with churches?
Yes. Socoz Design builds and maintains websites for churches and faith-based organizations, with the same focus on findability and clear information: service times, ministries, location, and how to connect.
Cost
What does it cost for a nonprofit?
Websites start at $999. The part-time role follows the same plans as any business, scoped to what your organization needs. If budget is tight, the Growth Audit produces a 90-day plan your staff or volunteers can run.

Can you work with our board or committee approval process?
Yes. Content calendars go out in advance so approvals happen on your schedule, not at the last minute.
Do you help with grant-report metrics?
Monthly reports cover reach, engagement, and inquiries in plain English, and can be shaped to match what funders ask for.
Do you work with organizations outside the Great Lakes Bay Region?
Yes. Socoz Design works with organizations across Michigan. Kickoffs run as a working session with a live walkthrough of the organization, and monthly reviews happen by video.
