Posted in: Uncategorized
Hydrogen Advertising was awarded the 2009 Merit Award for its Family Services “Army of Kids” campaign. The Seattle Show (www.seattleshow.org) recognizes the best work created in the region, with more than 750 entries judged by creative experts.
Hydrogen’s work for Family Services (www.family-services.org), a Seattle-area non-profit helping King County families achieve self-sufficiency, was designed to raise money and awareness for the organization. The non-traditional campaign featured life-sized cutouts of children, strategically placed in high-traffic Seattle venues, drawing awareness to the plight of homeless families. More that $455,000 was raised through the campaign.
“Our Family Services work continues to win accolades because it is more than just visually striking and an exemplary demonstration of the power of guerrilla marketing, but it really connects with people,” said Tom Scherer, vice president and executive creative director, Hydrogen Advertising.

Coca Cola Makes Push for Earth Hour
Posted in: Uncategorized
In a move to help push for the worldwide call to fight global warning, Coca Cola has done its part in leading the call to support the Earth Hour scheduled on March 28. The Company also is participating in local awareness-raising events in more than 50 countries to support what is expected to be the largest ever, global climate event.
Iconic Coca-Cola signs are scheduled to go dark in Times Square and on top of The Mirage hotel on the Las Vegas strip in the United States, Piccadilly Circus in London, and Kings Cross in Sydney. Other well-known illuminated signs and billboards will go off from Mexico to Cairo to Shanghai. The Company also is helping promote Earth Hour in various markets with radio, movie theater, television and print advertising.
Coca-Cola employees are being encouraged to participate in Earth Hour activities, along with their families and friends. An Earth Hour reminder will be sent to employees in Spain with an event-branded candle to be lit during the lights out hour, and in Latin America, employees will receive pins and glow worms with key messages to mark the occasion. In addition, dozens of Coca-Cola offices and bottling facilities will go dark, and viewing parties and other special events are planned around the world. Earth Hour also is being promoted on Coca-Cola delivery trucks in some markets.

Federal Law to Help Minnesotans Quit Smoking
Posted in: Uncategorized
Quitting to Smoke is something hard these days but you can be assured that proper authorities and groups will exhaust all means to help people kick the habit. The recent passage of a law by Congress to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) means Minnesotans and smokers nationwide will see the price of cigarettes increase soon.
Beginning March 31, the price of a pack of cigarettes will go up about 62 cents, raising the average cost in Minnesota to nearly $5. The tax increase will be used to provide children from low-income families with health care. President Barack Obama signed the bill into law on February 4, 2009.
With the cost of cigarettes increasing, Minnesotans can rely on ClearWay Minnesota’s QUITPLAN Services for free counseling, support and access to nicotine patches, lozenges and gum to help them quit smoking. Minnesotans can find out about all the free help to quit smoking through QUITPLAN Services by visiting quitplan.com
