Heatmine has developed a technology that recycles thermal energy created by cryptocurrency miners. These processors create enough excess heat that heats all types of devices related to water heating (radiators, boilers, etc). Heatmine offers cheaper heating for homes, greenhouses, schools and swimming pools, often reducing costs by over 50%.

Challenge

Heatmine is a young Canadian startup that is planning to start selling their Heatmine units in early 2019. The main goal of this PR campaign was to create general awareness, to establish credibility in the heating and energy business field, and to generate leads of companies and individuals in Canada that want to start using the Heatmine system as soon as it is available.

Solution

The target audience for Heatmine can be mainly found in four different sectors: Blockchain, Green-tech, Energy,  and Canada.

To start the PR campaign, we decided to write and distribute a press release about the project on distribution channels that are relevant to the desired sectors.

With the press release being distributed, the next step for achieving general awareness was to reach out to journalists and established media connections that might be interested in covering the story.
