National Geographic’s integrated campaign around Earth Day generates more than 1,000 stories
Its campaign featured Q&As with Jane Goodall and led to thousands of stories. This earned first prize in the Entertainment Campaign category of Ragan’s PR Daily Awards.
National Geographic’s goal was to inspire hope and empower viewers worldwide on April 22, 2020—the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. To do so, it would premiere two original shows, “Born Wild: The Next Generation” and “Jane Goodall: The Hope.”
To promote the upcoming premieres, National Geographic launched an integrative marketing campaign. Its goals were to position its two features as definitive Earth Day programming, highlighting the expertise of its Nat Geo Explorers, ABC News talent and Jane Goodall; and deliver the message that Earth Day affects us all.
Its multi-faceted campaign built awareness through numerous media, including television coverage, targeted digital and social media placements and a print partnership with USA Today.
