Marketing clean technology & green technology The B2B marketing challenge
It’s on the agenda. Billions invested in green tech Al Gore joins Kleiner Perkins Clean tech blog action zooming up the Technorati charts
The triple  bottom line Financial Environmental Social A new corporate agenda = a new opportunity for clean tech & green tech
It’s disruption time. Clean tech is perfectly positioned to attack entrenched tech. New metrics open new markets.
A different kind of tech marketing.  New audiences New messages New competitors New context
•  Governments  •  Public sector agencies •  Utilities •  The media •  Consumers •  Analysts •  The financial community New audiences
•  The green/clean story •  Alongside normal ROI •  New metrics   new proof points new validators New messages
•  Not just direct •  Substitutes, too •  Who may be subsidized New competitors
•  Under the microscope •  The green radar screen New context
  The issues
Balance your green story with your commercial story Most buyers still have bottom-line motivators
Be scrupulous Success depends on credibility & authenticity.  Don’t puff the numbers and don’t smear the facts. Never fake it.
Beware of ‘Parapet Risk’ •  Being accused of greenwashing •  Being held to a higher standard than    non-green peers Body Shop were criticized more than    Wal-Mart on green issues!
Prove  your commitment don’t just claim it. •  Walk the green talk •  Get a green audit •  Cut travel & waste •  Promote recycling •  Look at your whole carbon    footprint •  Think 360˚
Make your claims meaningful and dramatic. Give politicians the stories they need: “ Saves the equivalent of a new power station each year.” “ Enough to power Omaha and Oslo.”
Lobby hard Work the influencers: politicians and the media. Use your embassies overseas.
But lobby intelligently. Don’t alienate your buyers by overtly going over their heads to apply pressure.
Use social media. A powerful new tool for engagement with your audiences. Use it to listen and to help shape the debate.
Don’t be afraid of passion. It’s okay to show you really care about the benefits your technology delivers to society and the planet. A dull, clinical tone wastes a major asset.
Pass the positioning test: Relevant: adds real value Available: it’s unique Attainable: it’s credible
It’s a balancing act. Big claims  vs  credible support Vision vs practicality Greenness vs ROI Altruism vs Authenticity
Don’t go it alone. Find a partner who has been there before...

Clean Tech & Green Tech Marketing

  • 1. Marketing clean technology & green technology The B2B marketing challenge
  • 2. It’s on the agenda. Billions invested in green tech Al Gore joins Kleiner Perkins Clean tech blog action zooming up the Technorati charts
  • 3. The triple bottom line Financial Environmental Social A new corporate agenda = a new opportunity for clean tech & green tech
  • 4. It’s disruption time. Clean tech is perfectly positioned to attack entrenched tech. New metrics open new markets.
  • 5. A different kind of tech marketing. New audiences New messages New competitors New context
  • 6. • Governments • Public sector agencies • Utilities •  The media •  Consumers • Analysts • The financial community New audiences
  • 7. • The green/clean story • Alongside normal ROI • New metrics new proof points new validators New messages
  • 8. • Not just direct • Substitutes, too • Who may be subsidized New competitors
  • 9. • Under the microscope • The green radar screen New context
  • 11. Balance your green story with your commercial story Most buyers still have bottom-line motivators
  • 12. Be scrupulous Success depends on credibility & authenticity. Don’t puff the numbers and don’t smear the facts. Never fake it.
  • 13. Beware of ‘Parapet Risk’ • Being accused of greenwashing • Being held to a higher standard than non-green peers Body Shop were criticized more than Wal-Mart on green issues!
  • 14. Prove your commitment don’t just claim it. • Walk the green talk • Get a green audit • Cut travel & waste • Promote recycling • Look at your whole carbon footprint • Think 360˚
  • 15. Make your claims meaningful and dramatic. Give politicians the stories they need: “ Saves the equivalent of a new power station each year.” “ Enough to power Omaha and Oslo.”
  • 16. Lobby hard Work the influencers: politicians and the media. Use your embassies overseas.
  • 17. But lobby intelligently. Don’t alienate your buyers by overtly going over their heads to apply pressure.
  • 18. Use social media. A powerful new tool for engagement with your audiences. Use it to listen and to help shape the debate.
  • 19. Don’t be afraid of passion. It’s okay to show you really care about the benefits your technology delivers to society and the planet. A dull, clinical tone wastes a major asset.
  • 20. Pass the positioning test: Relevant: adds real value Available: it’s unique Attainable: it’s credible
  • 21. It’s a balancing act. Big claims vs credible support Vision vs practicality Greenness vs ROI Altruism vs Authenticity
  • 22. Don’t go it alone. Find a partner who has been there before...
