We have been working to create a new identity for our non-profit rebranding contest winner, Nourishing USA, and we are thrilled with the progress we are making together.

(And we get excited about our DART Process).

Watch below a clip from our first meeting together — outgoing CEO and founder, Gina Keatley, and acting CEO, Simon Hancock, explain in a few words (and photos) just what Nourishing USA is about.

Gina and Simon are passionate about what they do and we have had a great time learning from them about what their organization stands and strives for.

After much careful deliberation and a final vote, we are delighted to reveal the winners of the Shoot. Win. Inspire. Video Contest!

The grand-prize winner is Nourishing USA!

Nourishing USA is a nationwide anti-hunger advocacy program that strives to achieve “nutrition for all” in America. The organization supports approximately 500 local charitable agencies, including pantries, soup kitchens, senior centers and emergency shelters. You can read more about them and their work and goals here.

We will be working with them to develop a comprehensive rebrand, in order to give them the most powerful identity from which to continue to grow. We are thrilled with this partnership, and look forward to beginning work with them in the new year.

The two runners up who will be receiving 20 hours of brand counseling with members of the PM+CO team are: The HOPE Program and Pro Musicis.

The HOPE Program empowers New Yorkers to achieve economic self-sufficiency through employment and advancement. By blending vocational, educational, and social services with a lifelong commitment to a person’s growth, HOPE demonstrates that New Yorkers facing significant challenges can build brighter futures for themselves and their families.

Pro Musicis is dedicated to sharing the beauty and joy of music with the widest possible audience. Career development and community service are the primary goals of Pro Musicis — concert artists selected for the Pro Musicis International Award perform in both concert halls and outreach venues.

We appreciate all the many participants of this contest — those who submitted creative and inspirational videos, and those who voted, again and again!

We will continue to share our work as we move forward in 2013.

We are very proud of all the video entrants of the Shoot. Win. Inspire. Video Contest. We are also quite excited that the voting became a world-wide effort.

We at PM+CO have been inspired through learning about the diverse services that each of the organizations provide to their constituents, and by their evident passion and dedication.

Congratulations to our top five finalists who were voted to the final round. In no particular order, they are:

Nourishing USA
Harvestworks
The Hope Program
The New Group
Pro Musicis

In the final phase of the contest, the team at PM+CO will select the grand-prize winner and two runners-up from the five finalists, based on originality and creativity (50%) and effective communication of the organization’s value to its constituencies (50%). The decision will not be easy.

The winners will be announced Dec. 11.

Yesterday you voted, and the stakes were high.

Today we'd like to ask you to vote one more time -- from the comfort of your chair -- on something that is high stakes for the non-profits involved. The winner of our video contest will take home a complete PM+CO rebrand (valued at $35,000). What can this mean for an organization? A strong, comprehensive brand can drive visibility, effectiveness and fundraising. It can make the difference between sailing and drifting in a rocky economy. It can be the springboard from which passion and long hours can have maximum impact.

Voting is now open, and it's a matter of a click of a button next to the video of your choice. You can vote once per day through November 26.

Your "click" can make a difference in the lives of those served by these hard-working organizations. Watch the videos to find out whose lives those are.

Thanks for your vote!
