Creative strategy
'Green Ego'
Green Ego recognizes that
people are motivated first and
foremost by what feels good to
them. Imagine a green hotel that
captures ever y drop of rainwater,
(6 feet a year in New York), and
on a grey rainy day encourages
you to take a longer shower, a
hotel where the bio-nutrient bed
linen will feel as luxurious as high
-thread-count cotton, a hotel with
elevators that generate more
energy coming down than going
up so we want guests to take
them, a hotel where left-over
food is fermented to generate
methane that powers the
generator to heat the water, and a
garden with plants that naturally
extract heavy metals from the
soil. Who wouldn't want to stay
there?
This direction was thoroughly
researched; we went to
GreenBuild conferences, spent
days with leading green architects
and environmental experts, and
with a clear insight into people's
attitude towards 'green', it was
developed into a business and
marketing plan with the client.
