The industries
we serve

Over the past 12 years, the PPM team has rolled up our sleeves to move missions forward across multiple industries.

Conscious Consumer Brands

Now more than ever, consumers are craving socially responsible, mission-driven brands that are committed to making a positive impact. From the brands of personal products in our bathroom to the snacks in our cupboard, the things we buy define us and paint a picture of our values to the rest of the world. Whether you’re a better-for-you CPG company, eco-friendly fashion & beauty line, or a health-minded lifestyle startup, we’ll help you build your brand in a way that emphasizes your mission and purpose to the people who don’t just need your product, but believe in it. 

  • Captivate and connect with social media followers through visually-impactful creative assets, powerful brand messaging, and conversion-focused social copy 

  • Increase new customers and retain existing ones through targeted campaigns across social media, email marketing, and paid advertising  

  • Leverage the power of influencer marketing and media relations for brand awareness that leads to brand evangelism

Non-profits, B Corps,
and Social Enterprises

As an organization dedicated to impact work, you know that driving your mission forward requires an all hands on deck approach, marketing included.

Having worked with local and national organizations focused on social infrastructure, education, healthcare, human services, and environmental work, our team is committed to helping your impact – and movement – grow.

  • Raise awareness of your mission on a local, national, or international scale through powerful storytelling that inspires action

  • Drive fundraising efforts forward through a strategic mix of online and offline marketing initiatives to maximize your impact

Architects, Developers, and Urban Planners

What does it mean to build a place? Beyond architecture and design, we believe in purposeful placemaking rooted in community that strengthens the connection people have to the places they share - places where everyone can grow, learn, and thrive - and we work with developers who are committed to doing just that. We’ve had the privilege of working on multiple neighborhood and public space projects, prioritizing people-first design that bring lasting value to communities. We’ll help you build what matters for the people who matter most.  

  • Spearhead multi-channel campaigns that drive project awareness through a strategic mix of online and offline marketing initiatives 

  • Strengthen civic engagement and involvement through thoughtful content and conversations, leveraging social media, blog writing, and media relations 

  • Bring your project to life through local programming efforts, photojournalism initiatives, and impactful branding and messaging

Cornerstone Community Organizations

As Brian Solis said, “Community is about doing something together that makes belonging matter.” When we work with our community partners, we know we’re helping them do more than just advertise their upcoming events or create their latest newsletter – we’re connecting them to the people who need them most. Whether you’re a local institution like a community center, neighborhood association, or a steward of a place with historic, cultural, or ecological value, our team will work in step with you to grow the sense of belonging and community your organization is rooted in. 

  • Communicate your vision and mission to your community through a strategic mix of online and offline marketing initiatives that raise awareness

  • Inspire involvement through events and partnerships designed to bring members of your community together (and get the attention of local press)

  • Position your organization for long-term success and longevity through strategic planning and coordination with local leaders
