Published on

GreenShorts was proud to be invited to host a working session at this year's Earth Day Canada's Beyond Green youth summit. This presentation helped facilitate a conversation on green marketing, consumer expectations from brands and companies and how the topic of recycling can be used as a meaning conversation for brands. We reviewed a few pieces of advertising from Brita, Kijiji and Johnson & Johnson.
