NAACP: This Is Power.

New Video Alert: The NAACP's 2021 End-Of-The-Year video has been released! This video was directed/edited by our awesome collaborator Adonis Williams and produced by our co-founder Hiroki Kamada.

This was our third time working with the NAACP, and our second year in a row creating their end-of-the-year video. As a #SocialImpactEntertainment company, we were honored to work, once again, with an organization that has been at the forefront of civil rights and racial justice for over 100 years. Visit our website www.prodigium-pictures.com to check out our previous work for the NAACP and other purpose-driven initiatives.

How to Approach Corporate Storytelling as a Purpose-Driven Business or Organization

Prodigium has been following the #BTheChange publication since long before we became a certified #BCorp ourselves. We are thrilled to announce that this week, our co-founder Hiroki Kamada had his article “How to Approach Corporate Storytelling as a Purpose-Driven Business or Organization” published on the official B The Change website! The article features insights from our founders Hiroki Kamada and Tobias Deml, our producer Tessa Byford, the NAACP's Trovon C. Williams, #Ava's Thibault Michael Duchemin, and SIE Society's Frank Connelly.

It's very exciting to be a part of a publication that we have looked up to for so long, and that is run by our peers in #CSR and purpose-driven business. We look forward to sharing more insights about Social Impact Entertainment and Purpose Storytelling on platforms like B The Change, and on our Medium page: https://insights.prodigium-pictures.com/

The Guardian recently published an Op-Ed by former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich entitled "Why Corporate Social Responsibility is BS."

We are proud to share this animation we created for Extreme Reach a payroll company bringing entertainment accounting into the 21st century.

One of the most exciting aspects of working on this project was forming what we call an "Impact Strategy" around the video. In order to create the most effective video possible, we interviewed different department heads within Extreme Reach to get multiple perspectives on their product. At Prodigium, we pride ourselves on using data-driven creativity, and who knew that data-driven creative could lead to a giant animated T-Rex!
