2012 Platinum PR Awards: Green PR


NASCAR – NASCAR Green

Since implementing an integrated marketing communications approach in 2011, NASCAR has been able to shift its NASCAR Green movement from a punchline for The Colbert Report to an effective communications vehicle for sustainable behavior among its fan base of approximately 60-80 million.

Through the use of earned media, thought leadership and influencer engagement, NASCAR has changed the perception of the public and positioned itself as a sports leader in sustainability. Since the beginning of the Green movement in 2008, NASCAR has logged more than 2 million miles on Sunoco Green E15—a safe, high-performance American-made bio-fuel, which reduces emissions by 20%. —DA
