The Brief

China is responsible for 22.3% of the world’s total CO2 emission. In major cities, company-owned cars are one of the many contributors. The objective of the campaign was to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions discharged by company-owned cars. It was impossible to talk to everyone in China, so we targeted the leaders CEOs and heads of corporations to be specific. We promoted this activity to CEOs and heads of corporations.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

China has a hierarchy culture. Which means company heads and CEOs have great influence on their employees and the industry. The concept was to device a campaign that will have a snowball effect and get the industry to pick up on a trend. We created the “Green Class Bus”. A CEO bus pool that gave company heads and CEOs the opportunity to network, meet new prospects, get PR, do their part for the environment and get to work on time. The implementation was an event bus and we invited CEOs and heads of organizations to participate in.

Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results

This pilot project was well received by the attendees, which included the Chairman of the Belgium Chamber of Commerce and the General Manager of the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce in China. They are requesting for more of such events and they’re promoting it other members in their society. There’s now a waiting list for the next Green Class Bus event. The China Environmental Protection Foundation is currently planning to expand and make this a regular event in 12 other major cities in China.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

1. The China Environmental Protection Foundation is all about making China a cleaner and better place to live in. This promotion helps them to reduce CO2 emissions. 2. This promotion also helps them build and spread the “green culture” nation-wide, especially in industry circles. 3. This is a promotion that is easily adoptable by other organizations in China and all over the world.
