Joanne Shaw has been with MGI since 2022, bringing her energy, expertise, and love for all things marketing (which makes sense...Mad Men is one of her all-time favorite shows!).

Outside of work, Joanne is busy being a mom to her almost 9-month-old daughter, fueling her days with coffee, and jamming out to Noah Kahan and Sam Barber. She’s currently planning a trip to Ireland and Scotland to explore historic sites and Game of Thrones filming locations!

We’re so glad to have Joanne on our team!

Have some members gone quiet?

Not every disengaged member is lost. But it takes intention to bring them back into the fold.

Personalized outreach, event invitations, and feedback requests are among the ways associations are re-engaging members and strengthening retention.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for your membership marketing is pause and take a fresh look.

What’s working? What’s adding unnecessary complexity? Where are members getting stuck? And are your efforts still aligned with your goals?

Kelsey McKinney, Account Director, explores these questions and more in her latest article, The Power of Membership Marketing Audits.

Growth doesn’t happen by accident.

Across the association community, organizations are finding new ways to deliver value, engage members, reach beyond their traditional audiences, and connect with the next generation of professionals.

Is your association’s value proposition compelling enough?

MGI's 2026 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report found that 51% of associations rated their value proposition as compelling or very compelling, down from 58% in 2024.

And for many, the challenge isn’t a lack of value. It’s communicating that value clearly to the people you want to reach.

The right message, delivered to the right audience, can make all the difference. As membership growth gets harder, taking a fresh look at how you communicate your value may be worth the investment.
