EPA asked Crosby to help take advantage of this high awareness to elevate the brand to be more than a label on energy efficient appliances. The time was ripe to reinvigorate ENERGY STAR as the leading resource of energy saving advice and guidance. And to educate America about the brand’s leadership in certifying energy efficient new homes and helping business partners save billions in energy costs. Drawing a contrast with the dizzying array of energy saving voices, blogs, and resources available today, we positioned the venerable ENERGY STAR brand as “the simple choice” for all things energy efficient.
