Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA)

Crafting a Member Association Strategy to Support Energy Buyers

The Project

The Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA) is a national member association for large-scale energy buyers seeking to procure renewable energy across the U.S. Its members include nearly 200 of the world’s largest energy buyers such as Amazon, Facebook, Verizon, Walmart and Google. Inspire works as an extension of the REBA marketing and communications team to support numerous initiatives through media relations, public affairs strategy, member and partner engagement, thought leadership, social media management and advertising, website support and graphic design. We keep a close pulse on renewable energy trends and media coverage and position REBA leadership and members for media and thought leadership opportunities.
