International Women’s Media Foundation

Client Overview

The International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) supports women and nonbinary journalists worldwide through grants, training, and advocacy for press freedom. Their annual Courage in Journalism Awards spotlight frontline reporters whose work exemplifies resilience and integrity.

Challenges

The IWMF sought to produce a set of compelling videos that would honor each Courage Award recipient’s story, communicate the stakes of their reporting, and resonate with a global audience across digital platforms and live events.

Solutions

Starting in 2022, we’ve produced an annual series of short, informative videos that introduce each honoree, combining powerful visuals, voiceover narration, and archival footage. Each video conveys both the personal courage and journalistic impact of the recipients, reinforcing IWMF’s mission to protect press freedom.

Outcomes

Each year, these videos serve as centerpiece moments during the live awards events and extend the IWMF’s reach online, helping amplify the voices of journalists who risk everything to bring truth to light.
