Recruiting New Boy Scouts, a Nickel at a Time
Greetings,

This fall we helped the local Boy Scouts kick off their recruitment drive with strategic paid social media advertising. The Narragansett Council of the Boy Scouts has a proud 100-plus year history in the region, and today, there are over 13,000 Scouts across Rhode Island, Southeastern Massachusetts and Connecticut. This year, the Scouts were looking to expand their reach and bring the message about Scouting to more kids and their families. 

In response, we launched a social media ad campaign designed to get families excited about signing up their sons and daughters for Scouting. The campaign included photos and video content on Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and YouTube. We geographically targeted video content to five specific communities where the Scouts are looking to deepen their reach and attract more families to Scouting. 

The overall results were exciting - the campaigns resulted in 1,150 click throughs to the www.beascout.org signup website, over 339,000 impressions on Facebook and 7,000 impressions on YouTube - just pennies per engagement. The Scouts saw a marked increase in interest from families in the targeted communities and across the Council footprint. 

Now, we're looking forward to taking what we learned and replicating this success for our other clients - and potential new ones, as well. 
Nice Ink!!

Investing in a Cleaner Rhode Island


Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank CEO Jeff Diehl (right) authored an op-ed in New England Real Estate Journal last month where he discussed the Infrastructure Bank's innovative financing options. Diehl highlighted the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy loan program (C-PACE) which can help private and public partners implement clean energy systems. 

With bitter New England winters and resulting high energy prices looming, C-PACE loans can cut energy costs for the Infrastructure Bank's customers. Laurel Lane Country Club in South Kingstown, R.I. recently financed solar panel installations through C-PACE that will save the Club $1.3 million in energy costs.
