Big Buzz Idea Group

Melissa Lagowski founded Big Buzz Idea Group in 2004 to serve as an honest outsourcing partner for nonprofit organizations. Her previous experience as a nonprofit executive director proved that some vendors were not trusted partners and took advantage of organizations. For nearly 20 years, Big Buzz Idea Group has provided nonprofits with management, marketing and events assistance using our 100% transparency model. We are honored to be a trustworthy service provider in the nonprofit space so that these valuable organizations can continue making the world a better place through their programs and services. As we approach a milestone anniversary this November, the dedicated team continues to power nonprofits to fuel positive change. Unique: One unique aspect about Big Buzz Idea Group that sets us apart from other companies are the We Believe statements the team applies and upholds internally and with our clients: -We believe nonprofit organizations make the world a better place. -We believe that the best long-term relationships are based on honesty, integrity and 100% transparency. -We believe that everyone should be part of a team that inspires them daily. -We believe it is an honor to partner with and serve growing nonprofits. -We believe life is better when you laugh daily! Successful: Many organizations that come to us are surprised that a company like Big Buzz Idea Group exists! Our success is reflected in the organizations turning to us as a trusted partner to guide them with bookkeeping, membership management, event planning, sponsorship, etc. Our success is also measured in a thriving and growing team. Big Buzz Idea Group has tripled our team since the pandemic. We are also in the processes of expanding our office space. Inspirational: The team at Big Buzz Idea Group is inspired by our nonprofit clients. We partner with a wide range of nonprofits and each one is working toward a mission that performs critical work for a variety of populations. Our clients range from service organizations, women in business, rare diseases, women in the cyberworld, social justice, theatrical and cultural groups, mental health, land development and preservation, sex trafficking prevention, improving the lives of girls in India, women in law and more. Profitable: We have invested a lot of time in training the new team members to ensure that we are able to provide the quality services that we are known for, and we are currently applying new metrics to measure our staffs capacity so we can better evaluate if all of our team members are working at maximum productivity. Historically, we have been known to over-deliver on our client contracts so we are currently identifying work that is out of scope and setting up our agreements to discuss these special projects with our clients before the work is done so we can be fairly compensated for our staff time. Our team is also working to create two additional revenue streams through training/coaching and creating a training video that would be a passive revenue opportunity.
