Growth Key: Brand A Category/Incite A Local Response

Initially tapped to launch and test local response marketing campaigns for Recyclebank, DIGO soon recognized that a brand positioning obstacle stood in the way of growth. A series of insights quickly surfaced a huge opportunity. There is a “rewards program” category. Consumers understand this. Recyclebank can own a positioning as the rewards program for green actions. We translated this positioning into the campaign theme “The Only Rewards Program Endorsed By Planet Earth.”

We answer the first question of every communication, “Says who?” This statement packs a lot of messaging into a tight space and frees up the advertising to promote local registration. We tested a multi-channel plan in matched markets, augmented with guerilla tactics and a robust, continuously optimized, geo-targeted digital campaign. Recyclebank is off and running with powerful buzz, positive press, and rising registrations in the target communities.
