RESEARCH, POSITIONING, & REFRESHED IDENTITY

Founded in 1845, the International Mission Board (IMB) has had one goal: bring the gospel to unreached people around the world. Their work is a cooperative effort of Southern Baptist churches coming together to send, give, and go.

The communication challenge: IMB leadership desired stronger partnerships with pastors and churches, engaging them to get actively involved in all aspects of missions, from giving to going. 

Kumveka's solution:  We began by measuring the perceptions of pastors about the IMB through both qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (surveys) means. Through this work, we identified the gaps in what IMB communicated and what pastors actually perceived and needed.

To address these gaps, we created a new positioning strategy that helps the IMB communicate one key message: every church has a vital role to play in taking the gospel to unreached people. The strategy also includes refreshed visuals and messaging that expresses the repositioning in a clear, compelling way.
