“The People You Know” – A new direction for Liberty Communications

Liberty Communications, based in West Liberty, Iowa, wanted to create a bold campaign using tactics they had never tried before. They turned to Pivot to produce a video series, called “The People You Know,” to highlight community members in the towns they serve: West Liberty and West Branch. Pivot created the ThePeopleYouKnow.com microsite and helped Liberty launch a digital campaign to draw traffic to the videos.
