ECO can be COOL ! [The Renault Z.E. Example]

by Kurt on January 6, 2012

I wrote a blog post a while back on how to make sustainability work, by making it cool, attractive, sexy, relevant. If you haven’t read it, go here.

Just a few days ago, I saw the new RENAULT Z.E. (Zero Emission) tv commercial; a brilliant piece of advertising. In my opinion, it sets a new tone in the “green” communication field, it speaks to the imagination! No BS with beautiful images about the planet.  Check it out.

 

The Renault Z.E. is a great piece of innovation, and a nice looking car, with a campaign that works *happy sigh*

  • It’s simple.
  • It captures attention.
  • It makes you think.

  • It motivates.
  • This TVC in particular has a great punch line : “You’ve already switched to electricity for many things, so why not for travelling”

Let’s have more of these to promote green in a new way!

Different, and playing emotions rather than rationale, is the following NISSAN LEAF commercial …

Not that I’m a promoter of “green”, but here is a cool video about the impact of switching to eco-friendly cars, and the power of innovations in that field [by FORD]:
