Justin Henry promoted to President of Synergy Direct Marketing Solutions

It is with great pleasure that I announce the promotion of Justin Henry to PRESIDENT OF SYNERGY DIRECT MARKETING SOLUTIONS. Justin joined the Synergy team in 2006 as an Account Manager. Since then, he has become a highly trusted, strategic thought leader in the nonprofit world and a trusted advisor to many of Synergy’s clients. 

Justin has guided Synergy’s clients through the process of integrating Outbound Tele-Fundraising with their traditional and digital marketing programs to create additional revenue streams and strengthen the health of our clients’ donor bases. 

Justin has spearheaded the development of other personalized donor engagement strategies such as Broadcast Voice Messaging, Donor Conference Calls, and most recently, “Peer to Peer” MMS Text Messaging programs which have turbo-charged the fundraising programs of many of Synergy’s clients.

Finally, Justin (along with CJ McKendry) has led the development of Synergy’s Mid-Level Donor Engagement program. This program has been extremely successful in building personal relationships between our clients and their donors and leveraging those relationships to generate transformational and legacy gifts, by helping donors optimize their philanthropic missions. 

With Justin’s leadership, Synergy’s business has grown substantially during a time of significant change in the telephone marketing industry. 

With his promotion to President, Justin will now also oversee the operations of our Inbound Call Handling division. Synergy provides managed, multi-call center inbound solutions for some of the largest and most respected nonprofits and broadcast ministries in the country. 

I am extremely confident that Justin will continue to guide Synergy to continued growth by providing our nonprofit clients with the very best quality marketing and donor development services in the industry. I could not be prouder of Justin’s accomplishments and contributions to Synergy and the nonprofit community. 

With this promotion, Justin and I will continue work to develop and deliver cutting edge strategies and services for our nonprofit clients. I hope you will join me in congratulating Justin on a job well done and a promotion well earned.
