Noble Energy | Noble Energy and Denver Broncos Partner for Day of Service

Challenge

Noble Energy and Denver Broncos employees both believe strongly in giving back to the Colorado community but needed a way to capture and promote their partnership through a Day of Service project with the Denver Public Schools (DPS) Foundation. The Day of Service included volunteers from both organizations who did yard work, painted, and helped with field day events throughout the morning. Additionally, in the afternoon, Noble Energy provided transportation for 50 students to Mile High Stadium for a behind-the-scenes tour, lunch, check presentation and visit with the Denver Broncos cheerleaders and Miles the mascot. Organizers from both groups wanted to engage and elevate their employees, bring awareness to the partnership with DPS and engage and expand their audiences on social media.

Solution

The Day of Service was scheduled at DPS’s Cheltenham Elementary School, in the shadow of the Broncos’ home field at Mile High Stadium. The CenterTable digital and video production team worked with the community relations teams from Noble and the Broncos to develop and execute a comprehensive content plan that included live photography, video and other interactive content to capture the event in a timely and cohesive manner to maximize visibility. Additionally, the #NobleActs hashtag was devised to help group both this event and future Noble volunteer events under one searchable content stream.
