Frequently Asked Questions

Working with Natalie Brinton at Consulting for Good

  • I primarily partner with purpose-driven organisations in Australia and globally. My focus is helping non-profits strengthen their marketing strategies, develop effective products, and build sustainable revenue streams.

  • I integrate seamlessly into your team rather than imposing external solutions. Born from 20+ years leading marketing projects and teams across 25+ global markets, my approach combines deep expertise with down-to-earth partnership.

    I'm designed specifically for the non-profit sector, balancing financial sustainability with mission impact. Instead of creating dependency, I build your team's capabilities, ensuring you're stronger and more strategic when I step away.

  • Even the most impactful organisations struggle without clear marketing and product strategies. Short-term campaigns might fill immediate gaps, but sustainable growth requires strategic approach.

    I help organisations:

    • Diversify revenue beyond traditional fundraising

    • Create more meaningful donor engagement

    • Develop mission-aligned products that drive impact

    • Build internal capabilities for long-term growth

  • Success looks different for each organisation, but always centres on lasting impact. It might be a new product launched, a strategic plan ready to execute, or a team with enhanced capabilities.

    The real measure is when I step away and your organisation is stronger, more confident, and better equipped to achieve your mission.

  • I keep it simple:

    1. An initial conversation to understand your challenges

    2. A customised proposal outlining approach, deliverables and costs

    3. Refinement based on your feedback

    4. A collaborative kick-off to establish working relationships

    This ensures we start with clarity and alignment.

  • I work alongside your team to enhance, not replace, their expertise. Rather than dictating strategy, I embed into your workflow—listening, mentoring, and co-creating solutions aligned with your goals.

    Many clients tell me I become so integrated that it feels like I'm part of their organisation rather than an external consultant—exactly how I love to work!

  • Both. I develop tailored strategies and provide hands-on implementation support alongside your internal teams.

    Some organisations need comprehensive strategy with ongoing support, while others prefer strategic direction with internal execution. We'll find the right balance for your situation.

  • I primarily work remotely, which allows me to support organisations efficiently across Australia and globally. However, I'm happy to work in person for key meetings, team training, or strategic planning sessions.

    A blend often works best—strategic sessions in person, with ongoing work conducted remotely. I'll adapt to whatever works for your team.

  • My leadership experience with Compassion Australia, Compassion International, and World Vision International has given me practical insights into the specific challenges facing non-profits.

    I've led marketing teams, developed products, and driven fundraising innovation across 25+ global markets. This combination of sector knowledge and hands-on experience allows me to bring practical, proven approaches to your challenges.

  • I specialise in strategies that achieve both. By aligning marketing and fundraising with your mission, I help organisations grow financially while staying true to their purpose.

    The most sustainable growth happens when financial strategies and mission fulfilment work hand in hand—ensuring your organisation can increase its impact without compromising its values.

  • That's exactly where I can help. I specialise in working with lean teams, providing the right amount of guidance and support to maximise impact with available resources.

    Whether building your product portfolio, developing marketing plans, mentoring staff, or serving as an interim marketing leader, we'll tailor our work to your constraints.

  • Clients often come to me with a specific challenge they lack the capacity to solve in-house. This might be a short-term project or a longer capability-building initiative.

    Over time, I develop a deep understanding of your organisation and build rapport with your team. Many client relationships evolve into ongoing partnerships where I become a trusted advisor, ready to support at different stages of growth.

  • I provide a range of marketing services including:

    • Strategic marketing plans

    • Product portfolio development and review

    • Brand and product architectures

    • Market analysis

    • Value proposition development

    • New market expansion strategies

    I also offer coaching and training to help build sustainable capabilities within your organisation.

  • Your organisation might benefit if you're:

    • Struggling to achieve sustainable revenue growth

    • Uncertain about product development or diversification

    • Needing to upskill your marketing team

    • Facing communication challenges about marketing strategy

    • Working with limited resources that need strategic prioritisation

    If any of these sound familiar, let's have a conversation to explore how I might help.

  • While each partnership is unique, engagements typically include:

    • Assessment of current strategies and capabilities

    • Development of a tailored approach to address challenges

    • Implementation support and capability building

    • Knowledge transfer to ensure lasting impact

    Projects range from focused interventions of a few weeks to comprehensive partnerships spanning months. The scope and investment are always customised to your needs.

  • I'd love to have an initial conversation to learn about your organisation, challenges, and goals—with absolutely no obligation.

    If we might be a good fit, I'll develop a tailored proposal for your consideration, which we'll refine together until it perfectly meets your needs.
