Ecosia selects JCDecaux as a partner in its first out-of-home campaign

Ecosia is an environmentally friendly search engine, profits are being used to grow trees all over the world. With an international brand campaign in 12 European cities, Ecosia aims to raise awareness by spreading the message widely through outdoor advertising JCDecaux.

The campaign concept stems from the brand’s award-winning ‘Strange Queries’ video submitted by students from the German Film Academy in Baden-Württemberg. In the video, weird searches, performed through the search engine, are converted into a situation where a tree appears where exactly the search was performed – starting from the city bus to the lecture hall – and ending with the words, ‘regardless of how your odd search was requested. We plant trees anyway. “

JCDecaux on digital displays displays expressions with unusual searches also performed in cities where the objects are located. The campaign is part of JCDecaux’s Nurture program, a division within the company that works with sustainable startups across Europe to help them increase awareness of their brand.

“It’s our first major OOH campaign and we couldn’t have been better off with a partner like JCDecaux, who is committed to Net Zero and shares our ambitious goals when it comes to tackling the climate crisis. With their support, we can reach millions of new Ecosia users and then plant millions of other trees around the world “.
Hannah Weeks, CMO Ecosia

The campaign is called “Alien Searches” and will be published in more than 3,700 items in 12 cities in Europe: Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne in Germany; Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux and Marseille in France; Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and London, Manchester and Edinburgh in the United Kingdom. The campaign aims to inform new users of the possibility of planting trees through their searches.
