Member Spotlight: Clint White
GoGreenRide loves to spotlight our members who trust us enough to get them on time to where they need to be. Clint White, for instance is constantly on the move from event to event that his Non Profit Advertising Agency has planned in order to connect life-changing content to the right audiences. He has done incredible work with the Big Apple Circus, Amalgamated Bank, The New York Public Library, Skidmore College and many more. Today, Clint's widespread efforts and dedication have earned him the UN Social Impact Summit award for driving social change through the media.We were lucky to have a chance to chat with WiT MEDiA's very own Clint White!
GGR:What makes WiT MEDiA different from other Advertising Agencies?
CW: WiT’s unique in that it focuses on the things in life that most of us don’t get enough of- rewarding and enriching experiences. We strive to connect people with meaningful and life-changing content, rather than advertising stuff that you probably don’t need. We’re proud to work with clients like American Museum of Natural History, Columbia University, Rainforest Alliance, and Continuum Health Partners. Clients who present culture and education, build communities, advocate sustainability, and leverage technology for a better world.
GGR: What past project did you enjoy working on the most? Why?
CW: We work with clients that we believe in and do great work. Each project presents its own challenges and opportunities, so we truly enjoy them all. You may have seen one of our recent campaigns with the Arvo Pärt Project while riding the subway or walking past phone kiosks in Manhattan. The campaign successfully connected loyal and new audiences to the extraordinary work of Pärt, and as a result, was the most well-attended classical concert at Carnegie this year.

GGR: Tell me about your favorite service experience you have had.
CW: My two kids get so excited when they’re going to be in the GGR car. It’s so much fun and they just can’t contain themselves.GGR: You list ”People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel,” by Maya Angelou as your favorite quote can you tell us why?
CW: Maya’s quote speaks to the core of our business. As experiential marketers, our team focuses on emphasizing the benefits of an experience, rather than promoting the actual product. In other words, we help people relate emotionally and inspire positive associations with our clients. GGR: If you hadn't founded your Advertising Agency, what else might you have done?
CW: Right before I started WiT, there was a crossroads where I could have taken one direction or the other. If I had taken the other, I would have moved out of NYC and started a new life doing something completely different than advertising. I’m not entirely sure what that would have been- something or somewhere that allows for lifestyles that aren’t available here in the city, like Hawaii.GGR: Summer is finally here, describe the perfect summer evening in the city?
CW: The perfect summer evening involves dinner at a great restaurant with my wife, sitting outside and enjoying the views, and then having GGR to take us home when we’re satiated. Having GGR take the babysitter home perfects the night because I know she’s in good hands.

Member Spotlight: Janine Just
Meet Janine Just- PR and Marketing Expert and one of our favorite GoGreenRide members!
Janine Just grows brand presence between brands by engaging online communities with targeted messaging, invitations, and special events. She has worked with Rocawear, Baked by Melissa, Angelique Bridal, Mount Holyoke College and many more. We're big fans of her bright and sprite personality, a sentiment that is shared by many others like Steven Weintraub, Associate Director, Experience Strategy & Design, Publicis who notes “I worked with Janine on a high profile Facebook project. She was a pleasure to work with and was extremely dedicated. I hope to work with her again in the future.”
We were lucky to have a chance to chat with Janine Just to hear about her upcoming plans:
GGR:What's your favorite thing about being the Chief Connectologist of your PR startup firm?
JJ: I love introducing new brands to the market, and, of course, I love the community that we have built up over the past few years. People are now inclined to turn to us to get a first look at new products, services and technologies. How is that not a cool way to spend your workday?!?
GGR: Do you have any cool upcoming projects that you are working on?
JJ: Right now we’re working on the launch of .Bk, which is a men’s apparel line that produces limited runs of totally unique microcollections. Their MO is to disrupt mass fashion, one shirt at a time. We love the exclusivity, and the idea that guys of all budgets can score a quality, cool, bespoke shirt that not everyone else in NYC has.
GGR: Anything you would like to suggest to our GoGreenRide members who are trying to get their brands in better shape?
JJ: Make sure to set goals for yourself, but no more than two short-term and two long-term goals at a time. You want to put the focus on actually achieving goals, not simply making them. It’s a quality over quantity situation.This sets you up with either immediate successes (yay!), or, if a campaign flounders and needs a little more work, you’ve already allotted yourself the extra time you need to consider audience feedback and revise, ultimately creating an even better result the next time around. It’s a win-win!
GGR: What's your favorite place to have dinner in NYC?

Reflecting On Our Commitment to Sustainability
It’s our favorite day of the year: Earth Day. We’re excited to celebrate GoGreenRide's commitment to the environment.
GoGreenRide is committed to being environmentally responsible. Our current fleet is composed entirely of the Toyota Prius V hybrid model, which means we only produce a fraction of the carbon emissions of most car service fleets. With an estimated 42 miles per gallon, our fleet boasts an EPA smog score of eight out of ten. In addition to our hybrid cars, we go the extra mile to be completely carbon neutral with our partner, Carbon Neutral by purchasing carbon credits to offset our environmental impact. Via this partnership, our carbon credits help to fund the Mississippi Valley Restored EcoSystem Project. Our funds will help reforest one million acres of the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley. The Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley was once covered by 22 million acres of dense forests, but now supports less than 20% of the original as a result of deforestation and a change to agricultural land use. However, planting trees will reduce an estimated amount of 200 tCO2 in the area, while also improving the water quality and biodiversity. Our efforts in this project will also create revenue for low-income landowners. The water quality will also benefit because reforestation minimizes soil erosion and absorbs farm chemicals from surface runoff and groundwater.
We’ve come a long way and we’re more confident than ever about the role we're playing to address sustainability and other important environmental challenges.We invite you to join us on our journey by:

Event Recap: FACE Africa Gala Celebration
GoGreenRide was proud to sponsor FACE Africa's 5th annual WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) Gala Celebration! The event took place at Pier Sixty in Chelsea Piers on National World Water Day and raised $150,000 to provide clean water, sanitation and support ongoing hygiene projects in sub-Saharan Africa. These earnings will benefit 30 clean water projects for FACE Africa’s County by County program. It will also ensure that 12,000 people have access to clean water.
This year’s Gala honored Nigerian entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Tony Elumelu for his commitment to transforming Africa economically by enhancing the competitiveness and growth of the African private sector through the Tony Elumelu Foundation. FACE Africa does extraordinary work helping to fulfill the basic water needs of communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Their core mission is to grant clean water, one community at a time and GoGreenRide was so glad we could be part of the success.
