Channel V Media launches a specialty practice for companies in the climate technology space. The new climate technology division will offer clients specialized PR programs to raise awareness of their climate solutions and innovations, help shape public opinion and policy on climate change and drive inbound customer leads. The agency has already created strategic PR programs for such climate tech businesses as air quality data company BreezoMeter (acquired by Google) which it introduced into the U.S. market in 2021. As part of the launch, Channel V Media has added weather intelligence company Meteomatics to its client roster. “As climate change becomes an increasing concern for the general public, we’ll see the climate tech market continue to grow—making it even more challenging for these companies to communicate their differentiators and properly distinguish themselves from others in the space,” said Channel V Media EVP Kieran Powell.
