In a field where technical innovation can get buried in acronyms and specs, Carollo’s I-FLOAT (Inflatable Fast and Lightweight Off-gas Analysis Technology) campaign did the opposite—it made breakthrough science feel urgent, usable, and impossible to ignore. Voted the MCA People’s Choice winner at Amplify A|E|C this year, the campaign translated a complex greenhouse-gas testing solution into a clear story of operational efficiency and environmental impact—two priorities top-of-mind for wastewater leaders today.
At its core, I-FLOAT reimagines how facilities test and manage GHG emissions. Carollo’s marketing team built the campaign around that real-world result: faster, lighter, in-the-field off-gas analysis that helps utilities meet performance goals and sustainability requirements—simultaneously. Rather than positioning I-FLOAT as “just another tool,” the team framed it as a path to better decision-making, compliance confidence, and measurable climate leadership.
“We set out to make advanced testing useful, not just impressive—and the market responded.”

Strategy that Elevated the Science

The campaign’s creative system—spanning promotional assets, conference presentations, trade media, advertising, and digital touchpoints—kept one promise front and center: I-FLOAT turns a decades-old testing challenge into real-time, actionable insight. That focus allowed busy operators, engineers, and decision-makers to immediately see “why it matters” to their plant, their community, and their budgets.

Results that Moved the Market

The performance speaks for itself:
  • Digital engagement: 1,232 video views (2.5× target), 30,250 social impressions (1.5×), and 701 website visits (1.4×).
  • Media impact: 9 features in trade publications (goal: 4), with outlets calling I-FLOAT a “breakthrough” innovation.
  • Demand generation: 572,035+ paid and earned ad impressions drove 23 facility demonstration requests—more than double the goal.
  • Revenue outcomes: $23,000 in immediate revenue and a projected $300,000 pipeline (vs. $200,000 goal).
Beyond the numbers, the campaign reinforced Carollo’s position as the water industry’s innovation leader—showing how cutting-edge technology can simultaneously improve operations and reduce environmental impacts.
