When your brand is built on impact, your story deserves a global stage. S99 PR specializes in strategic PR that secures that spotlight — helping innovators and changemakers earn features in high-profile outlets like Forbes.
One of our standout recent wins is Cosmopolis, a revolutionary humanitarian app that gamifies kindness through its “Help Points” system. With our guidance, Cosmopolis earned a premium Forbes Australia BrandVoice feature:
The Client: A Humanitarian Vision with a Digital Twist
Founded by Paula Schwarz, Cosmopolis connects people who want to help with those in need across Africa — in countries such as Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, and Nigeria.
By gamifying humanitarian work, Cosmopolis rewards users with “Help Points” for their good deeds, making charity more engaging, measurable, and rewarding.
The Goal: Showcase Cosmopolis on a Global Platform
Cosmopolis wanted to:
- Expand awareness beyond African markets.
- Position itself as an innovator in the humanitarian tech space.
- Build credibility with stakeholders, NGOs, and global partners.
