Envision Solar Taps Allison & Partners for National PR Program

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Envision Solar International, Inc.,  (OTC BB:EVSI), a leading solar planner, architect and inventor designing and deploying clean energy systems globally, has appointed Allison & Partners, one of the nation’s fastest growing strategic communications, public relations and public affairs firms, to lead its national public relations campaign.   

Led by a group of award winning visionary architects, builders and engineers, Envision Solar develops innovative systems for commercial, residential, and public entities and is the first to invent and build solar structures that address the unused millions of acres of parking spaces. Its products include Solar Trees®, Solar Rows™, LifePorts®, LifePods™, LifeVillages™ and others. The firm’s CleanCharge™ invention, the first of its kind, is an electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle charging system that integrates a solar parking shade structure, the Solar Tree, with an electric vehicle charging station mounted to its column.

The publically traded company has designed and/or installed solar parking arrays and solar integrated building solutions for such notable organizations as Dell, Chevron Energy, Sun Edison, Dell, Johnson & Johnson, University of California, Los Angeles Community Colleges and Kyocera.

Envision Solar chose Allison & Partners as its agency of record following a successful project in 2009, which helped to highlight the company’s partnership with hybrid automotive manufacturer Bright Automotive to announce the nation’s first CleanCharge Charging Station on Capitol Hill.

The new campaign will focus on building awareness of the company’s solar installations, as well as building investor awareness and interest in the brand through high-profile mainstream and non-traditional PR channels.

“Envision Solar, as a visionary company, is highly creative in its design and engineering solutions, so we need an agency with a similarly creative and energetic approach. Allison & Partners fits the bill perfectly,” said Bob Noble, president and CEO of Envision Solar. “Our previous work with the Allison & Partners team on a high-profile project was extremely effective, making them the obvious choice for us when selecting an agency of record.”

“As the energy debate has moved to center stage, Envision Solar has the opportunity to take the lead with its ground-breaking approach to renewable energy,” said Tim Wheatcroft, San Diego General Manager at Allison & Partners. “We’re looking forward to capitalizing on the current spotlight on energy issues to build both Envision Solar’s brand and the profile of its leadership team.”
