ORP – an historic brand opens it doors
Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi (ORP) has been organizing pilgrimages for the Vatican for over 75 years, recently through the brand JOSP, Journeys of the Spirit.
Custom is working with ORP to create a social media editorial strategy and to help ORP tell its own stories in a way that are shareable, discoverable and demonstrate the expertise ORP has in organising spiritual holidays.
By creating targeted, useful content ORP has succeeded in building a global social media community (called “Jospers”) and has established a prominent SEO footprint.
The project is on-going.

At the outset, Jospers had a problem…. A BBQ brand got all the clicks

We took the story beyond the Vatican press corps
The new influencers: days before opening of Vatican Library exhibition in November we let travel, religious bloggers in on the event so they could inform their readers. Great earned media result: reports in blogs that have over 2.5 mln readers!
