Promotion portraits
Celebrate a promotion with the moments that earned it
A promotion is often announced with a new title and a short note. The people who worked nearby know the richer version: the hard conversation handled well, the teammate given credit, the crisis made calmer, and the trust built slowly.
Who can contribute
Current teammates, former colleagues, managers, direct reports, mentors, cross-functional partners, friends, and family can each explain a different part of the achievement.
Show the qualities behind the new title
The strongest contributions begin with one real moment. Useful starting points include:
- A decision that revealed good judgment
- A time they helped someone else grow
- A difficult moment they made steadier
- The habit colleagues hope they never change
More than a collection of signatures
A congratulations card recognizes the news. A Gathered Ink portrait captures the evidence—the stories that show why the promotion matters and who the person has been along the way.
How it works
Choose Promotion and name the person or people the portrait is for.
Invite people directly or send one shareable link. Contributors do not need an account.
Each person answers thoughtful prompts in their own words and at their own pace.
The host receives one written portrait shaped by the memories everyone shared.
