Energy Ambassador
$9,900/year
Ambassadors are beneficial innovators and leaders who shape the energy narrative.
Clear and persuasive information remains a key barrier to distributed energy. Getting your value proposition across can feel overwhelming when your constituency doesn’t understand the benefits of distributed energy and microgrids.
As an Energy Ambassador, you have access to Energy Changemakers’ mixed media communications services, led by Elisa Wood, who has more than 30 years of experience in energy communications and is known for translating complex energy topics into engaging narratives.
“For an especially readable voice in the industry, the most consistent interpreter across these years has been the energy journalist Elisa Wood…” Malcolm McCullough, Downtime on the Microgrid, MIT Press
We partner with Ambassadors to:
- Identify relevant educational themes
- Connect those themes to your unique value proposition
- Produce your “Get out the Word” campaign, a customized mixed media package of impact papers, opinion articles, or leadership interviews (video or podcast).
We take the pressure off your busy marketing team by handling writing and production.
Become an Ambassador to educate your key constituencies and amplify your message. Make your story the one that is remembered.
