tentree
Canadian brand tentree is a sustainable, accessible and comfortable clothing brand. Their main idea is to plant ten trees for each product you buy.
Earlier of 2019, they managed to make one of the most successful campaigns in Instagram history.
The whole strategy was based on, that for every 10 Instagram likes, they will plant one tree.
The result was that during 5 days, their post generated more than 15 million likes and gained more than 400 000 new followers. Also, they increased their traffic to their U.S site by like 200%.
Osprey
American brand Osprey was born in California. Osprey produces high-quality backpacks that are used from mountain climbers to travelers.
Everybody knows Black Friday but what about Green Friday? This year Osprey decided to do a campaign called Green Friday.
During a one-week-long campaign from the 29th of November until the 6th of December, they decided to plant two trees for every order placed on their web page ospreyeurope.com. Osprey on this campaign partnered with The World Land Trust — an organization with over 30 years of conservation experience.
Sounds familiar? Right! This campaign was very similar to the one which did tentree.
There are no results from the Osprey — Green Friday campaign yet. Whether it was or wasn’t successful, we can just wander for now!
