November 2010: O’Reilly/DePalma arranges a sitdown of sorts with green building influencers Carl Seville and Michael Anschel at the American Standard booth. We also placed client CEO Don Devine of American Standard on a Greenbuild 2010 Residential Summit panel with Wendy Koch, USA Today environmental reporter and Deborah Meyer, SVP and chief marketing officer of Pulte Group.
We supported several clients at the show with press releases and booth media appointments and also had time to have fun with our Green Earth PR Network colleagues. Click any image to enlarge and read the story in captions.
American Standard Brands President and CEO Don Devine presented the company’s findings on best practices to increase consumer demand and acceptance of WaterSense-certified toilets, faucets and showerheads. Devine was part of a panel session at the 2010 Greenbuild that includes Deborah Meyer, senior vice president and chief marketing officer for PulteGroup, the nation’s largest homebuilder; and Wendy Koch, a reporter with USA Today, who focuses on sustainability issues.
Everyone at O’Reilly/DePalma is pleased that our Green Earth PR connection helped us secure this opportunity for our client. Don Devine has an excellent reputation for driving water efficiency solutions and has extensive knowledge of the issues, making him a great fit for the panel.
H2Option, a new flushing innovation from American Standard, is the first truly siphonic dual flush toilet on the market, with strong push-and-pull action created by forceful, yet quiet, jetted action under the rim. Using as little as 1.0 gallon of water on the low setting, H2Option scours the sides of the bowl to remove every last trace of paper and waste. Plus, the H2Option toilet is WaterSense®-certified for its water-efficiency results.
November 2009: O’Reilly/DePalma partner Lisa Woodward is retained to create the Green Patient Lab display and signage. We also coordinate efforts with our Green Earth PR Network colleagues to increase the number of media visits at client booths.
