What is The Dog Park?

At Bodhi Communications, our mission is simple... to help organizations that make a difference in their communities thrive.

That’s why we created The Dog Park, a philanthropic initiative inspired by our Chief Happiness Officer, Bodhi, whose mission is to bring smiles everywhere he goes.

Through The Dog Park, we partner with nonprofits and small businesses in St. Augustine and beyond, providing over $3,000 in professional marketing services at no cost.

We believe that when good people and good ideas connect, entire communities grow stronger.

What We Offer in The Dog Park:

Every organization in The Dog Park receives more than services; they receive a partnership. Here’s what our support looks like in action. Selected organizations receive a full suite of professional services designed to elevate their voice, strengthen their brand, and grow their impact:

Strategic Marketing Plan

Every great story starts with a plan. We begin by learning about your organization’s mission, challenges, and community. From there, we craft a personalized marketing roadmap tailored to your goals and capacity, outlining timelines, target audiences, and practical next steps.

Example: Receive a six-month content calendar, press release templates, and a donor engagement plan, all customized for their team size and goals.

Custom Web Design and SEO

Your website should be a reflection of your mission — clear, accessible, and inspiring. We build user-friendly sites that are easy to maintain and optimized for search engines, ensuring your audience can find you and understand your impact.

Example: Increase in inquiries after launch thanks to improved structure, messaging, and local SEO.

Branding & Design Essentials

From logos to color palettes, we help you create a cohesive identity that looks professional and feels authentic. Our goal is to translate your story into visuals that foster trust, connection, and recognition, both online and offline, to help you and future partners effectively share and tell your story.

Example: Receive a comprehensive style guide and print kit, helping you maintain a unified appearance across all materials, from social posts to signage.

Social Media Management

We turn your mission into momentum. Our social strategy combines education, storytelling, and engagement, helping you connect with your audience and build a community of supporters.

We will research and develop the best approach for your brand with a one-month social media management package, complete with custom templates and strategies to enhance community engagement.

Hands-On Training

We believe in empowerment, not dependency. Every Dog Park project ends with a personalized training session to ensure your team feels confident managing your marketing long after we wrap.

The Dog Park Program – Simple, Transparent, Impactful

How it Works

Funding and Selection: A portion of Bodhi Communications’ proceeds and/or sponsor contributions funds each project. Once enough is raised, a new organization is selected to receive full-service support.
Marketing Package Delivery: We provide everything from brand strategy and web design to SEO, print materials, and social media management.
Empowering Your Team: Before we wrap, we train your team to manage your website and social platforms confidently, ensuring lasting impact.
After Action Report: A few months after completion, we reconnect to evaluate progress and provide additional insights or guidance, because your success is our ongoing priority.

No Hidden Costs!

We cover all service expenses.
Organizations only cover small operational tools (such as hosting or design software), which they may already own and retain after the project.
