Ecover Campaign

Ecover group

The world's largest green cleaning company

Pioneering cleaning brand Ecover contacted Bray Leino in advance of its acquisition of San Francisco based Method. The acquisition would create the world’s largest green cleaning product company with collective sales of $200m and staff levels of around 300 across the world.  Ecover needed Bray Leino to drive global communications to ensure all opportunities on the acquisition news were secured, profile of the green cleaning category was elevated, brand awareness maximised and that existing, loyal customers were aware of the benefits of the acquisition. 

Time zone
challenge

Bray Leino's B2B & Corporate PR team also needed to ensure the effective engagement of the media and influencers taking into account the three time zones of core audiences (UK, Europe, US) and cultural differences of the media. Social media engagement and maximising existing brand communication channels also needed to form a key part of the activity. 

It’s all in
the method

Bray Leino delivered a comprehensive corporate communication campaign working alongside Method’s in-house PR team in the US encompassing  media training, content development for on and offline channels, spokespeople Q&As/support documentation, photography co-ordination and intense media relations across core financial, business, green, CSR and trade media.
