PGIM is a leader in investment consulting and strategy, delivering high-quality content that informs financial decision-making and demonstrates its commitment to innovation and excellence in the investment management industry.

After more than a decade of collaboration on projects ranging from web and VR to video and e-learning, Ronik’s expertise and deep familiarity with Reuters Plus’ creative approach made us a trusted partner for this initiative.

With experience transforming complex, expert-level content into engaging formats, we were tasked with translating PGIM’s financial narratives into compelling interactive experiences that distill complex ideas and visualize data stories—allowing for clear and memorable takeaways on financial strategies and insights. We ensured the series resonated with its target audience, while equipping the company with a robust update to their design system.

The launch of the OutFront series marked a bold new strategy for PGIM’s audience engagement, requiring an evolution beyond their existing creative playbook. Ronik expanded the PGIM digital design language to accommodate dynamic, branded storytelling through data visualizations, multimedia reporting, and custom 3D models and animations.

In the initial phases of each installment’s creation, we collaborate closely with Reuters Plus and PGIM stakeholders to identify the most impactful and relevant takeaways of each theme. Topics have included the financial impact of AI, the healthcare revolution, ESG and greenwashing, and the future of cities.

To ensure the campaign’s longevity and adaptability, we crafted a narrative style that could function as a versatile template and introduced a distinctive “globe” motif as the centerpiece of the OutFront brand. This recurring, evolving hero image provides a memorable encapsulation of each theme.

We expanded the PGIM brand to support new applications by introducing a broader palette, a distinctive photographic style, dynamic data animations, and a custom icon library.

By launching four unique pieces annually, we leverage a cohesive visual framework and consistent UI while allowing each story to stand out through tailored imagery, data storytelling, and subtle stylistic pivots—ensuring every piece feels fresh yet harmonizes with the overall series.

The OutFront series, designed and developed by Ronik for PGIM and Reuters Plus, has garnered widespread recognition for its engaging and visually appealing presentation of groundbreaking financial stories and strategies.

The award-winning interactives distill sophisticated financial concepts while serving as an effective gateway to PGIM's broader thought leadership catalog, expanding their digital subscriber base and attracting new readers. Celebrated by respected authorities in finance, media, and ESG, the series exemplifies the power of innovative storytelling to elevate brand impact.
