Overview
SproutWorld is the maker of the world’s only patented pencil and makeup liners that grow into flowers, vegetables, plants, fruit and trees after you’re done using them. Since 2013, SproutWorld has sold more than 65 million plantable pencils in over 80 countries. The U.S. is one of the top three markets for their eco-friendly consumer products, and the company executed numerous public relations efforts over past decade to increase brand awareness, which has dwindled in the past few years.
Nicole Communications was chosen as the U.S. PR Agency of Record to deploy multiple strategic public relations campaigns in mid-2023 to increase media placements in national, sustainability, B2B marketing, mommy blogs and consumer publications to help increase product features during their busiest sales season.
