Be Known for Something | Mark MacDonald on Church Branding Strategy

What is your church known for – and is that perception helping or hindering the gospel? In this episode, Phil Cooke https://philcooke.com and church branding strategist and author Mark MacDonald discuss how churches can develop a branding and communications strategy that clarifies their message, reshapes their perception and helps them rise above the noise of today’s culture. Bonus! Gain tips on creativity and what to do when your ideas are rejected. 

📊 Research shows that 85% of non-believers would visit a church if someone invited them—but perception matters. This conversation challenges churches to rethink how they communicate, who they’re communicating to, and how clarity can lead to real growth.
