WHY EXPERIENTIAL? Digital’s one big disadvantage is its lack of lasting impact – its low “sticky value” in the consumer’s mind. Ride & Drive. What They’re saying. . . Click. Z. com – June 2015 No advertising campaign will get you the kind of credibility that a meaningful experience will. Today’s smartest brands aren’t marketing themselves; they’re championing a purpose.

The brilliance that has long been on display in the searchable web and the cloud is now further reinforced by an unsurpassed corporate commitment to sustainability. That commitment to protect the planet is echoed in personal choices being made by tens of thousands of Googlers in their daily lives. This new era of leadership on sustainability is being enabled by a dazzling array of technology options that are driving new environmental programs across the Google corporate ecosystem; further, they link individuals to a remarkable range of clean and sustainable product choices for their personal lives. 13 Silicon Valley Clean Energy 1 28 City of Google’s corporate commitments range from leading by example in its operations with its move to 100 percent renewable energy to innovative uses for its technology applications to campus initiatives aimed at reducing waste, air pollution, and vehicle use. The sustainability choices available to the Google community are equally impressive - from clean vehicles and electric bikes to smart homes to rooftop solar to a host of new enabling apps. The universe of potential choices and activities related to fostering sustainability are almost impossible to fully comprehend, let alone appreciate. 14 Solutions To help Googlers become more active participants in the growing circular economy surrounding them, Google Mountainview Headquarters will host a consumer lifestyle exhibition to demonstrate how Googlers can use today’s new technology to help create a safer, more prosperous, and cleaner world for themselves, their families, and their communities. The event will provide a powerful platform for highlighting Google’s broader sustainability commitments, recognizing leaders in sustainability at Google and highlighting best in class emerging thinking in the field.

Event Footprint Options RECOMMENDED APPROACH Google Environment Day: A Curated Event Experience The Google team will define participant criteria, showcase look/feel parameters and size thresholds for participant booths (e. g. , small, medium, large, and keystone) that will then become the basis for an invitation and selection process with potential event participants. This approach will help minimize overall event design/development costs while providing a thematically linked, integrated event that will be best suited to achieving Google’s goals. OPTIONAL ELEMENT Google Environment Hack-a-Thon A handful of themes that would lend themselves to the creative problem solving of the Google team could be selected to support a hack-a-thon running during the event where Googlers would aim to provide fresh thinking and new approaches for resolving a real-world sustainability challenge - either related to Google or a broader sustainability issue.
