Environmental Marketing Specialist

Imagine you are working for an environmental products company, and are about to pitch an idea for a new green bin recycling program and ecologically friendly vehicle to 100 representatives from the City of Toronto. The recycling initiative will reduce the city’s waste by 50%. The electric garbage truck, on the other hand, will significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions produced by a standard garbage truck.

Toronto is currently trying to change its national and international image so that it will be thought of as «Canada’s greenest city,” making this the perfect time to be marketing these large-scale programs to city representatives. In its planned transformation, the municipal government is researching which changes can be made to the city’s infrastructure and public services in order to lessen the ecological impact of its large population. It is your job to ensure that your company gets the contract to implement these environmentally friendly programs for the City of Toronto.

During your presentation on the benefits and costs of the green bin recycling program and electric vehicle, you are confident and persuasive. You must demonstrate that these programs are the best way to serve the city’s environmental needs.

As an environmental marketing specialist, you have to be flexible and enjoy interacting with many different kinds of people. You work in a competitive environment, which requires you to stay motivated so you can succeed in your job and outperform rival companies.

Presentations and public speaking make up only one aspect of your job. Environmental marketing specialists must also evaluate the products their company produces and make decisions about which products and services to promote in the future.
