Bois-des-Filion

Multimedia Campaign, Rollout Strategy

Mandate

Like all cities, the municipality of Bois-des-Filion is facing new environmental realities. Ahead of a significant upgrade of its waste management practices, we were given the mandate to communicate, in two phases, the upcoming changes (schedules, bins, labels), the positive results associated with the collective efforts, and the benefit for everyone of making a habit of going to the ecocentre to reduce the amount of salvageable materials sent to landfills. Through a multimedia campaign over several months and a rollout strategy aimed at all Bois-des-Filion residents, we successfully conveyed all the messages needed to achieve the municipality’s goals.

Think

We used a phase-by-phase approach to define the focus and pillars of communication. Residents would have to adopt the necessary changes without being lectured. Obviously, there was a need to change some deeply ingrained habits. To avoid pain points, we focused on positive engagement and step-by-step, generous and motivating support. We wanted to promote participation in progress, and demonstrate the simplicity of the new actions to be taken and their positive impact. Like the tone, the message had to be clear and accessible to everyone; friendly, yet convincing.


Create

Sorting, reducing, using a smaller bin and cutting down on waste collection became “Less is better.” Without using a moralizing tone, the hook is clear and understood. Phase 2, detailing the positive results and benefits of the ecocentre, are in keeping with the same spirit. Accessible to everyone, the graphic elements speak for themselves. The colour palette, typography and iconography invite the public to perceive this reform with simplicity, pride and responsibility. The campaigns were created in three stages: before, during and after the changes.



Display

Over roughly one year, we accompanied Bois-des-Filion and its residents by rolling out 5,000 door hangers and information pamphlets, a landing page, bus shelter and panel signage, a Google campaign, posts on the City’s Facebook page and a press release. Citizens are clearly informed about the changes and the new habits to adopt, and can now congratulate themselves on exceeding the targets set by the municipality in only a few months.
