Earth Rangers Case Study

Establishing Earth Rangers in Alberta

Background

Earth Rangers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and empowering children to take action for the environment. Through engaging programs, interactive digital platforms, and community outreach, Earth Rangers inspires youth to make a tangible impact on conservation efforts. With a strong presence across Canada, the organization sought to expand into Alberta—a region rich in environmental diversity but with limited existing awareness of Earth Rangers.

The Challenge

Breaking New Ground in Alberta’s Competitive Market

Earth Rangers, a nonprofit focused on environmental education and youth empowerment, sought to expand into Alberta. The organization aimed to introduce its programming to a new audience, but faced key challenges:

  • Low Brand Recognition: Earth Rangers was relatively unknown in the region.
  • Competing Priorities: The organization needed to capture attention in a market with diverse environmental and educational options.

To address these barriers, Carmella designed a tailored marketing strategy to enhance visibility and establish trust with the target audience.

The Strategy

  • Targeted campaigns were aired across family-friendly radio stations to engage parents and youth
  • Creative, high-energy messaging was designed to resonate with Alberta families

Garbage Bin Advertising

  • Earth Rangers branding was placed on garbage bins in high-traffic locations across Alberta
  • Messaging reinforced environmental stewardship in a relatable and community-centered way

Bus Wraps in Edmonton

  • Full-colour, eye-catching bus wraps were designed to maximize visibility in Alberta’s largest urban centre
  • These bus wraps provided constant exposure to commuters, significantly boosting brand recognition

TV Segments

  • Carmella secured bonus air time on local television stations, amplifying the campaign’s reach
  • Engaging visual content was developed to captivate children and parents alike
