Vancouver, BC, December 10, 2008 – NextPhase Strategy announced that it has been awarded the contract to brand, market and promote the newly founded BC Bioenergy Network. The branding program includes creating a new corporate identity, corporate brochure, website and trade show display. It also includes promoting the BCBN through a strategically-planned public relations program.
"We are pleased to have chosen the NextPhase team as our communications
partner. Their depth of experience branding not-for-profit and NGOs is
considerable,” stated Michael Weedon, the Executive Director of the
BCBN. “As they’ve branded numerous companies in the Greentech space,
we’re confident that we’ve chosen the right partner.”
“Our team is excited about the opportunity to brand the BCBN,” said
Ullrich Schade, president of NextPhase. “With the experience garnered
from branding such noteworthy clients as the Advanced Systems
Institute, Fuel Cells Canada and Lignol Energy, we are ready to
position BCBN as the go-to group for bioenergy in BC, Canada and North
America.”
Established in April 2008 with a $25 million grant from the BC government, the BC Bioenergy Network is an industry-led association that acts as a catalyst for deploying near-term bioenergy technologies and organizing mission-driven research for the development and demonstration of new bioenergy technologies that are environmentally appropriate for the province of BC. BCBN identified the following technology areas requiring funding support: solid wood residues, pulp and paper residues, harvesting and pelletization, agriculture residues, municipal wastewater, municipal landfill waste, municipal solid waste, and community heating-electricity greenhouse systems. The BC Bioenergy Network will provide the leadership to make BC a world leader in developing and marketing wood-to-bioenergy and other bioenergy technologies.
