As you may know by now, I’m working on social media for the Earth Hour 2009 campaign at the moment. I have been since early November 2008.
If you don’t know what Earth Hour is, check out the official 2009 video, from the global Earth Hour 2009 YouTube channel:
There are many YouTube and other social network profiles from individual countries as well. At this point there are 378 cities in 74 countries involved. The number of cities is growing daily. From now until Earth Hour itself, 8:30pm Saturday 28 March, I’ll try to post regular updates on progress and points of interest. Now that it’s February, things are starting to ramp up somewhat.We’re really happy to have Shepard Fairey supporting Earth Hour this year. Yes, he’s the artist who created the imagery for Obama’s election campaign. Here’s an example of one of the new campaign images, on our Earth Hour Global flickr stream:
There is also a new animated video to come, I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, feel free to follow Earth Hour on twitter. I am of course tweeting about Earth Hour from time to time on my personal Twitter account (jjprojects) as well :)
