At this very moment, ripe and our strategic marketing partner SPIN are presenting “Lean + Green Marketing in a Gray Climate” at the USGBC Maryland Chapter’s 1st annual Green Building Expo, sharing insight and ideas on sustainable marketing and design. We’re pleased to have been invited to pass on our wisdom on these topics, as we feel these are highly relevant, current concerns and issues that are not discussed as often as they should be.
It’s hard to be thinking about marketing yourself in this economic climate — not to mention marketing yourself in a sustainable fashion. Most firms and businesses seem to be cowering and waiting for the next bit of bad news to surface. But the smart, pro-active firms are making plans and preparing for a new wave of business to arrive, and when it does, they’ll be ready for it while their counterparts might not.
Marketing firms and design studios can make a positive ecological impact if they have the knowledge, and if their clients are serious about maintaining sustainable design.
At the end of our presentation, we’re going to ask attendees to post any additional questions on our blog. If you attended our presentation, please feel free to ask us anything regarding green design, marketing, printing, etc. If you can’t think of any good sustainability related questions, ask us something else! We’re happy to share (some of) our secrets. We’ll answer them in a new post in the next few days.
If you’re holding an event and would like us to come and speak, feel free to shoot us an email at sprout@ripe.com.
Blog looks great–and congratulations on being featured in the Big Book of Green Design!
Tomas and Maryam,
It was a pleasure listening to your presentation at our first Chesapeake Green Build Expo. I thought it was very informative for every member of the audience and I believe you must have a received great feedback.
Do you think that the image or the service is the most important asset to brand?
Looking forward to meeting and talking to you again in the near future.

Tomas,
Your presentation at the USGBC MD Expo was spectacular. Your advice was creative and relevant. The presentation not only contained countless priceless tips for the industry-specific attendees, but were equally applicable across multiple industries. Great job.
