Introducing the Brand Battle for Good event, where local brands step up to move Vancouver towards zero waste.
With new PPE and COVID-19 safety measures, damaged recycling streams, rising population rates, and consumerism at the highest it’s ever been, we are seeing more waste in the city than ever. Given the current climate crisis, we simply cannot afford to wait — we need to change our current behaviours and move quickly toward sustainable lifestyles and stop producing so much waste.
The City of Vancouver has a long-term strategic vision of Going Zero Waste 2040. It is a huge, important undertaking that we truly believe possible, but in order to get there, we need to take action, now, and it’s going to take all of us to make it a reality. This two day event will serve as a jumping off point on our city’s journey to becoming zero waste.

Brand Battle Award Night
6-8pm | Online
With a day of hard work behind them, it’s time to relax. The teams move into the Interactive Kumo Space networking social and await the top nominations. Live virtual music and top three pitches will be revealed at the Brand Battle Award Night ahead of the winning team announcement.
The winning idea.
Although the winning idea will be expected to be both creative and original, and provide a compelling story for the launch and marketing takeover, the winning idea will primarily be chosen based on impact, accessibility, feasibility and degree of behavioural change. This is not an advertising contest. We are looking to spark real and measurable change in support of the City of Vancouver's Zero Waste initiatives. Prize up for grabs is an upcycled trophy from ChopValue, a $40k in-kind campaign strategy package from Ad Agency Title Partner PS DDB, and a $10k+ digital media package from Digital Media Title Partner DailyHive to bring the winning idea to life in Vancouver.
