HY-brid is here to help your company:
- See how you’re already being green or energy efficient
- Discover how your products, processes or facilities could be greener
- Turn it all into a competitive advantage that leads to loyal customers, improved employee morale, lower operational costs and a greener bottom line
- Communicate your green competitive advantage to both internal and external audiences via a mix of media
We’re a consultative, green marketing group with roots in traditional advertising and public relations. As part of Hoffman York, a full-service agency, we offer a wide range of services including everything from radio, TV, web and print advertising to media planning/buying to market research.
Combined with our nearly 20 years of experience specifically in the green marketing arena, we offer everything you need in one shop.
Our approach to green communications development includes the following four steps:
- Conduct an Environmental Communications Impact Audit
- Develop an Environmental Communications Impact Strategy Platform
- Create an Environmental Communications Plan
- Implement an Environmental Communications Plan
Though the HY-brid team is just a couple of years old, we’re already seeing results. We’ve helped clients raise awareness of their green products, services and processes; win national and international awards for their products and marketing efforts; and become recognized thought leaders in their industries.
HY-brid doesn’t just talk about green. We work hard to grow relationships with energy efficiency and renewable energy partners across the country. Through active involvement in eco-professional organizations and conferences, we’re learning all we can—and passing that competitive information on to our clients.
