CLIENT BACKGROUND
The Industrial Promotion & Investment Corporation of Odisha (IPICOL) is the state’s nodal agency for industrial promotion and investment facilitation. It plays a key role in supporting medium and large-scale industrial projects by offering financial guidance, policy support, and investor outreach. In line with the state’s ambitious “Utkarsh Odisha – Make in Odisha 2025” vision, IPICOL partnered with Gutenberg to position Odisha as a future-ready, high-potential industrial destination both in India and abroad.
GUTENBERG STRATEGY
Gutenberg built a three‑phase, 360° communications program—pre‑event, live‑event, and post‑event—that blended high‑impact media relations with platform‑specific digital storytelling. The plan aligned every press touch‑point, leadership interview, social narrative, and on‑ground logistic detail to a single rallying hashtag (#MakeItViksit). By synchronizing traditional PR with real‑time social amplification, Gutenberg ensured that every MoU, keynote, and sector story reached both boardrooms and social feeds worldwide.
