Energy Hogs...Coming Soon to Homes Near You!
A public service advertising campaign that features a dastardly new character, the Energy Hog, is slated to debut in early 2004 by the Ad Council – creators of Smokey Bear, “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk” and other famous campaigns. The Energy Hog puts an exciting face to the invisible concept of wasting energy, taking a topic of low interest and making it fun for children, while empowering them to take the lead at home in inspiring their parents to make wise energy choices. This campaign will include TV and radio ads, web banners and an interactive website, www.EnergyHog.org.
Energy Outreach Colorado, the Colorado Governor’s Office of Energy Management and Conservation (OEMC), the U.S. Department of Energy, the Home Depot, the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association and 20 state energy offices have have teamed up for this three-year campaign targeting children ages 8-13 and their parents.
