PCNA 3/2023–12/2024
Michael Poignand, Creative Director
Polyconcept North America (PCNA), headquartered in New Kensington, PA, is a leading supplier in the promotional products industry, offering a vast selection of customizable hardgoods and apparel. Operating brands such as Leed’s, Bullet, Trimark, JournalBooks, ETS Express, and Spoke Custom, PCNA provides products from over 50 retail partners, emphasizing eco-friendly materials.
Introducing GIVEE Select
In this collaboration with Windy Films, I served as Producer, Co-Writer, Casting, and In-House Creative Lead.
Our objective was to showcase PCNA's solution to the common challenges distributors encounter.
Beyond
I engaged Ripe Concepts to support PCNA in rebranding 'World Source.' The goal was to introduce new capabilities and three distinct service offerings within its fully customizable promotional products division. I collaborated closely with Ripe, developing the concept, art-directing the animation (product, character, and background), and casting/directing the voiceover.
PCNA ProudPath
Windy Films returned to help me bring PCNA’s ESG initiative, ProudPath, to life. We filmed on location at the warehouse, corporate offices, and surrounding community in New Kensington, PA, capturing an authentic look at PCNA’s corporate culture and local impact. This project is a great example of a high-production-value story achieved on a lean budget.
See if you can catch my voice in the VO—plus, I served as Producer, Co-Writer, and In-House Creative Lead (and even made a cameo!).
