Producing an Impact Report amidst company challenges

Bechtel’s Corporate Affairs team produces the company’s annual Impact Report, a flagship communications piece that showcases Bechtel’s global contributions and brand story. This year, producing the report had been particularly challenging due to several hurdles, including multiple managers being in and out on maternity leave.

The team needed additional agility, flexibility, and creative capacity to get the report across the finish line.

“This year’s report has been incredibly difficult to get off the ground. The flexibility has been super helpful.”

Bechtel partnered with Pangea to onboard fractional employees across different specialties

Pangea connected Bechtel with design, motion graphics, and document production support.

The initial project was the annual Impact Report. Pangea matched Bechtel with Luis, a motion graphics designer who led the visual storytelling and animation elements.

After proving the model’s success, Bechtel expanded the engagement to include:

  • RFP documents
  • “About Us” slide deck
  • Ongoing design collateral

With this expansion, Bechtel brought on Bash, a graphic and brand designer, to elevate presentations and documents.

“Agility & flexibility have allowed us to get the design elements exactly right.”

An immediate impact

The Impact Report launched successfully – on time and on brand – despite a turbulent production process. Pangea’s flexibility enabled Bechtel to maintain momentum despite internal bandwidth constraints. Bechtel’s internal stakeholders were “nothing but impressed” with the creative output and the caliber of the Pangea team.

The partnership quickly evolved beyond a one-off project, with Bechtel extending its purchase order to continue collaborating with Pangea designers on additional marketing and communications initiatives.

Pangea became a trusted creative partner for Bechtel’s Corporate Affairs department – a flexible extension of their in-house team that could adapt to shifting priorities without compromising quality or timeline.

Through Pangea, Bechtel gained on-demand access to world-class creative talent that integrated seamlessly with its internal communications team. The result:

  • A more agile, resilient creative process
  • Consistently high-quality design deliverables
  • Renewed confidence across internal stakeholders
“The stakeholders have been nothing but impressed that we have these types of resources... It’s been a great value add to the team.”
