TRANSCRIPT
The Premise: Today’s charity marketing model is broken.
Because advertising is not
available as a growth tool,
charitable giving remains
stagnant.
Charities are missing out on the
digital marketing juggernaut,
because their solutions still
focus on old media.
The scope of the opportunity
is massive.

Yet only a handful of
charities advertise.
1. Media companies only pay attention to the largest charities
2. Charities don’t know how
3. Most don’t have the budget **
4. There is a stigma against nonprofits using funds for advertising
All charities can finally have a voice online. And really scale.
* According to 2011 data released by the Internal Revenue Service
** The 2012 Forbes Report on charities.
There are 1.1 million
charities in the U.S.*

The Story
Ali Mirian, Founder
Aristotle first wrote about humanity’s “chief good”, concluding that it is in the fulfilling of one’s own destiny
which brings happiness. With each charity and champion of important causes we meet, we notice that each of
them have their own passion that they’ve dedicated their lives to, their own chief good. Our vision is to bring
the story of each charity’s chief good to the masses.
Ali Mirian spent 15 years solving big problems for media companies and advertisers, using technology
and data to navigate the new digital frontier. He watched the internet grow faster than web sites could sell the
ad space. He tried an experiment to fill the unused ad space by aggregating multiple charities under one
campaign, and was quickly able to deliver millions of ad impressions. Word spread, and other charities started
pouring in. Chiefgood is now breaking through with a model for large-scale impact, where everybody wins.
With over 20 volunteers from:
VP, Product and Technology –
Advertising Division (NASDAQ: IACI)
Product Director – Media & Technology groups.
