Bayer

Promoting an Environmental Contest for Youth

Bayer’s Young Environmental Envoy program improves knowledge about the environment among young people and supports them in their environmental commitment. To spread awareness of the program in Brazil, JeffreyGroup took to social media to earn followers, “likes” and blogger attention. Through Facebook, Twitter and Orkut social media campaigns, the JeffreyGroup team encouraged young environmentalists to submit more than 1,400 contest entries. The campaign yielded enviable results for Bayer, increasing contest participants by 47 percent and generating more than 250 blog and social media mentions in just over a month.
