Project Management Institute (PMI)
Category – Promotional Content: Social Media
Gold Award Winner
It’s tough to execute stop-the-scroll creativity while staying aligned to a brand’s strategic goals—especially in the social sphere. For the Project Management Institute, that sweet spot is social storytelling. Forget the usual quippy one-line captions that just click out to other content. We offer in-depth stories and meaningful takeaways to consume on channel—in the moment.
And because PMI’s community is truly a global village, we created custom social content for 8 regions in 5 languages—highlighting the people and projects making an impact in those geographies.
Check out this highlight reel with some of the social storytelling posts we created for PMI in 2022.
