Repower America Wall Case Study Published

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

The Repower America Wall is a campaign to raise awareness about Repower America and its efforts to solve the climate crisis. Through a combination of video, image and commentary, the American public now has a platform where it can speak its mind about climate matters.

The campaign launched in November 2009 with tandem efforts online and on television. The television ad campaign was driven by images from the repoweramerica.org/wall.

In the weeks prior to launch, thousands of videos, photos and comments had been gathered by field teams in all states. The video footage and images were then uploaded by volunteers using the Admin Panel developed by SignalFive.
