To support the momentous announcement, we had to move with speed and pitch with accuracy. The story was global, with a news embargo timed to the UK. So we needed to uncover a relevant local hook that Canadian publications couldn’t ignore. That hook was the removal of black plastic from Starbucks stores, a material that most Canadian recycling facilities can’t handle. Now media had a relevant reason to report.
Reaching out to influencers, advocates and journalists we know had a passion for the environment, we equipped them with the data they needed to tell the full story: insightful messaging, perspectives from key executives, and impactful infographic support.
The result was more than 77 million impressions across radio, print, TV and social, plus a front page story in Canada’s most-read business section.
