EnOluence Group partnered with interactive brandmarketing sister agency New Avenue Marketing to educate the inOluential LGBT community about how easy and sustainable it was to be green. Together we created Green With Pride, which was an interactive, fun and accessible exhibit that would be incorporated into Gay Pride Festivals that were committed to showing a little more green! THE GREEN LIGHT: Festivals in both Los Angeles and San Diego committed to having GWP as a major component of each event after we presented our communications objectives: To launch GWP as a credible, “edutaining,” accessible national initiative To drive awareness/buzz and foot trafOic to the GWP area during incredibly chaotic and spread out 2day Festival (our goal was 25% of total festival attendees) Create opportunities that tie sponsors (primarily presenting sponsor Clear2Go) with inOluencers in the LGBT and/or green communities through networking, associations or in key media coverage. SPOTLIGHTS: EnOluence Group devised a strategic, creative and very targeted media relations, grassroots and online awareness campaign “This Year, Don’t Leave Pride with Greenish Envy”. We distributed an initial overall announcement of the Green With Pride initiative that was targeted to green and business outlets to generate buzz and interest in participation. In order to credibly position this as a national campaign, EnOluence Group leveraged its longstanding relationship with multiplatinum dance artist/actress Deborah Cox who was scheduled to perform on the main stage of L.A. Pride already. We presented to her the strategy, the mission/ vision and promotional power behind the initiative and introduced her to the founders and the presenting sponsor. As someone who has been an ecofriendly consumer her entire life, she agreed to be our spokesperson for launch as well as our national ambassador at no fee. That week, Ms. Cox earned her 10 th #1 on the Billboard dance charts so EnOluence Group incorporated that into all subsequent media materials to help with news hook and credibility for all. The Challenge. The Results. “Many people commented that the Green with Pride exhibit was the most innovative and relevant addition to the festival in years. The showcase of green – from the brands to our fantastic national ambassador Deborah Cox was on message and deMinitely enhanced our sales.” Stu Levitan, GM, Clear2Go, presenting sponsor Through our Carbonfund.org partnership, En6luence Group operates at zero percent emissions annually.
