About This Collection

 

 

 

SAM represents a coalition of Barry Heidt of SustainableTV, Tom Hopkins of Center for a Sustainable Today, and Ruth Ann Barrett of EarthSayers.tv.  We formed this coalition to spread the voices of sustainability across the Web through EarthSayers.tv, video portals, our channels on Youtube, and clients' Websites.

By creating online video content, marketing it by seeding the Web with thought leaders, and using EarthSayers.tv in managing the content to include curation services SAM is a complete, on-of-a-kind content marketing program in the service of sustainability.

Our work extends the reach of sustainability related gatherings and events while reducing the carbon footprint of face-to-face gatherings. We record, document and stream panels, speeches, and teaching circles at events and use the occasion to interview elders, teachers, experts, and citizens.

Visit the SAM Website for examples of contention creation, management, and marketing. We may be contacted at 415-377-1835.
