Agency
Green Home developers, Mahindra Lifespaces’ rolled out their campaign, I Am Green Army, to strengthen their association with sustainable and eco-friendly communities.
Objective
The I Am Green Army initiative intended to establish a deeper connect with Mahindra Lifespaces as an eco-friendly brand, and to communicate the brand philosophy to the social media audience, helping them inculcate these eco-friendly habits in their daily lives.
Execution
Building on the insight that it takes at least 18 to 254 days to form a habit, Mahindra Lifespaces devised the Green Army initiative as an 18 day challenge. It involved inspiring the audience to take simple steps in their day-to-day lives that would collectively have a significant impact on the environment, both in the immediate future and in the long term.
I Am Green Army was chosen as the campaign hashtag, while Facebook and Twitter were chosen as the social media platforms of choice. The I Am Green Army initiative was focused on inculcating green and sustainable living habits to promote energy conservation, and preservation of water and natural resources by recycling/ reusing materials and reducing waste.
The first phase kickstarted with a video to raise awareness around the #IAmGreenArmy challenge and to encourage people to take it up.
