Since launching our Projects That Matter Initiative six years ago, we have created over 150 videos for non-profit clients around the world. This year alone we collaborated with 15 different non-profit organizations ranging from Washington, DC to Chicago to Portland. We had video shoots in seven different states and our work has been seen by hundreds of thousands of people. However, our greatest accomplishment has been the opportunity our partners provide us with to meet a multitude of unique and inspiring individuals who consistently display the good that can be found inside of us all.  Click below to watch some of our teams favorite projects from the year!

On Saturday March 4 at Urban Outfitters, INC. at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia, our Projects That Matter Initiative debuted a new short film, highlighting the Weiss Family’s journey at Fred’s Footsteps Annual Party in the Yard Event.

Our Projects That Matter Initiative works with non-profit organizations around the world to help share their stories by providing production services at a fraction of the traditional costs. We have been working with Fred’s Footsteps for three years in order to help continue sharing their tremendous work of providing direct financial assistance to otherwise financially stable families facing a child’s hospitalization. They provide a funding bridge to working families for a period of one year to help them adjust to their child’s changing needs. Their Annual Party in the Yard event continues to be a sold-out success, raising over $1.2 million.

Our team picked up some more hardware Thursday night at the 2017 Philadelphia American ADDY Awards for our :30 AXE Bat: Axe Academy Commercial.  The spot won Gold for Best Cinematography & Best Editing while also picking up a Silver for best Regional/National Television Commercial.  Our Axe Bat: Axe Academy project also recently won Best Video Editing at the 2017 Louix Awards.  The Axe Bat: Axe Academy Commercial was written and directed by our Principal Creative Director, Justin Jarrett and Executive Produced by Travis Capacete, Jelani Thomas in conjunction with Will Redmond and our sports arm, FullCircle Intermedia.

One of our proudest achievements has been the creation and establishment of one of Philadelphia’s top Internship Programs. Our interns are challenged, pushed and encouraged to create meaningful pieces that challenge the status quo throughout the course of JTWO.U (similar to Trump U, but not 😉 )

Over the coming weeks, we will be showcasing some of our top interns from the past year.  This week’s honoree is the talented William “Bill” Kirner.
