CASE STUDY

THE CITY OF RIVERVIEW (MICHIGAN) LAND PRESERVE


City of Riverview Case Study

GOAL


To educate residents and gain positive support for landfill expansion approval.

Riverview Land Preserve (RLP)
RLP is a Michigan-licensed, non-hazardous solid waste landfill facility that provides 30% of the City of Riverview’s annual budget.

RIVERVIEW LAND PRESERVE

STRATEGY


With an integrated mix of traditional, digital and social media, public relations, and grass roots promotion, the Thread team put into place a communications plan to gain approval of landfill expansion by demonstrating public support among residents of Riverview. The goal was to overshadow the small group of opponents, engaging high-credibility spokespeople, and “turn the tables” on social media. 

Thread also helped redefine the landfill’s brand image and created supporting marketing collateral to change the perception of the landfill from being an outdated, polluted dump to an environmentally conscious modern day waste facility.
