Global 'Good Exchange' Activation Announced Between Ovanova and 5th Element Group PBC to Fund Rainforest Partnership

OXFORD, England, April 11, 2019 (Newswire.com) - ​​At Skoll World Forum today at Oxford University, Ovanova, a service company created to provide funding to nonprofits when consumers engage with information about solar energy solutions, announced its first global outreach campaign with new partner 5th Element Group PBC.

“We have worked to create a unique consumer education experience that will unlock millions of dollars of donations for organizations that are fighting for our planet,” said Lester Crafton, co-founder of Ovanova. “The time is now to shift the way we connect marketing budgets with social impact and how we create the energy we need to connect and create with each other, so we are going for it.”

The Ovanova solution is straightforward enough: the moment a supporter of an organization connects with an Ovanova solar educator on a brief phone call to explore the benefits of transitioning to solar energy, the company donates $50 to the nonprofit of the supporter’s choice.

“We think that Ovanova is the ultimate 'Good Exchange’ for a more sustainable planet,” said Ed Martin, Chief Omniwin Officer at 5th Element Group. “Scaling this will provide a case study experience that we think will inspire many other companies to consider how they can direct marketing budgets in ways that unlock impact for people and planet.”

The first nonprofit selected by 5th Element for the global Ovanova activation is Rainforest Partnership. Based in Austin, Texas, Rainforest Partnership’s mission is to protect and regenerate tropical rainforests by working with the people of the forests to develop sustainable livelihoods that empower and respect both people and nature.

“We are grateful to be part of this important campaign to lift people and planet alike,” said Niyanta Spelman, founder and CEO of Rainforest Partnership. “We need more collaborations like this to show how companies and NGOs can change the world together; and with Earth Day being this month, the timing was perfect.

This effort is being supported as well by The SDG5 Global Alliance, which spotlights women-led organizations leading the way to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

The collaboration is also supported by the digital agency SaleAmp (www.SaleAMP.com), which will provide strategic vision, as well as awareness and lead generation services to 5th Element in support of the Ovanova campaigns.

“We are honored and thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking and innovative collaboration between 5th Element, and Ovanova,” said Frank Richards, Executive Chairman of SaleAMP. “The consumer engagement experience is a unique and nuanced model and our rich experience in consumer activation on both the digital and physical landscapes perfectly positions SaleAMP to create robust and relevant engagement for this venture. This form of engagement will become a best-in-class, direct-to-consumer marketing case study for the rising generation.”
