A Fresh Approach to Content & Digital Engagement

JPM needed a smart, effective way to connect with its audience. In late 2024, IREM sought a trusted partner to not only manage content creation, design, and production but also to optimize the content digitally. BackPocket stepped in to streamline the process, ensuring JPM remained a dynamic, engaging resource for its readers across all platforms.
