Our Approach
PONY Comms centered the campaign around an always-interesting topic: poop – and how astronauts were going to manage bathroom breaks on the moon. We helped come up with the alliterative name, Lunar Loo and we even proposed a Lunar Loo Jr. campaign for kids. The Lunar Loo Challenge quadrupled the coverage and the participants of the wildly popular Space Poop campaign. At one point, NASA’s director of Communications called us to say that she was getting too many media requests.

“You should know that the article got very good engagement and lots of clicks to our shortened URL, which is much more engagement than the articles (which are often only read in print syndication) usually get.”
