EthiCom

EthiCom is a public relations and communications agency based in Bornem, Belgium, that has focused exclusively on the non-profit and social profit sectors since its founding in 2001. The agency’s core mission is to help mission-driven organizations—from cultural institutions to development NGOs—bring their messages to the right audiences, whether through media relations, fundraising campaigns, or social marketing. By concentrating entirely on causes rather than commercial clients, EthiCom has developed a deep understanding of how to communicate purpose-driven stories in ways that resonate with donors, volunteers, policymakers, and the general public.

Specialist Expertise in Non-Profit Communications

What sets EthiCom apart is its singular focus on the non-profit and social profit landscape. While many PR agencies serve a mix of corporate and charitable clients, EthiCom works exclusively with organizations that aim to make the world a better place. This specialization means the team is well-versed in the unique challenges of non-profit communication: limited budgets, emotionally complex messaging, the need to balance transparency with advocacy, and the importance of building long-term trust with stakeholders. Based in Bornem, Belgium, EthiCom serves clients across Flanders and beyond, offering a blend of local knowledge and sector-specific expertise that generalist agencies often lack.

How EthiCom Applies Its Approach

The agency’s work centers on three pillars: media relations, fundraising, and social marketing. For media relations, EthiCom helps non-profits secure coverage in Belgian and international outlets by crafting compelling narratives around social issues. In fundraising, the agency develops targeted campaigns that move audiences from awareness to action, using donor psychology and storytelling techniques refined over two decades. Social marketing at EthiCom involves designing and executing behavior-change campaigns that promote social good, whether encouraging blood donations, supporting local arts, or increasing volunteerism. All of this is done with a clear-eyed understanding of the non-profit sector’s operational realities, including the need to measure impact and demonstrate return on investment to funders.
