Our Approach
Through an integrated media partner and a strategic network collaborative approach, PIMA will change the dynamic of nonprofit funding as it relates to creating content & media and distributing positive community stories. The overarching goal is to aid those community organizations by providing subsidized low-cost | no-cost direct assistance with content & media production, brand development & marketing communications, and channel distribution of content, media, brand, and marketing collateral.
PIMA believes that this can be done through compelling, authentic, and positive storytelling of each organizations' brand, mission, and vision by establishing not only a supportive media movement but also a favorable community perception.
Mindful of the importance of maintaining an informed giving fund development strategy, which sees donors attach a premium on long-term benefits and impact of programs in the community, PIMA places emphasis on this strategy to create organizational sustainability.
Our Story
PIMA, at its core, operates using a select staff and team of mentors that are trusted and respected industry professionals from various content & media production, brand development & marketing communications, and channel distribution entities.
PIMA is "Continually Striving-On-Purpose" to create positive perception within the community through compelling storytelling.
When an organization partners with PIMA, they open up a world of endless opportunities. The idea of helping the organization tell its story in a positive way, is central to each community engagement. It can be a story that speaks to the organization's broader mission and purpose or it can be program specific. No matter what the approach or intended messaging, we're continually "Striving On Purpose" to provide your organization with the necessary media solution.
