IFC Communications and Creative Services

Item Description:

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) a sister organization of the World Bank and member of the World Bank Group—is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector in developing countries.

The Partnerships, Communication, and Outreach Vice Presidency produces communications materials to convey priority corporate messages with key internal and external audiences.

·         Branding and graphic design

·         Web design meeting technical standards of IFC internal and external platforms

·         Video, design, infographic and animation production

·         Print product development (magazines, brochures, post-cards, event collateral)
