Hiyield's AI & Sustainability Report

01 — Project details

In early 2025, I was commissioned by digital product studio Hiyield to produce and promote their thought leadership report: Is AI the Enemy of Sustainability?

The aim was to position Hiyield as a credible voice in the digital sustainability space - and spark wider industry conversations around the environmental implications of artificial intelligence.

Working closely with the Hiyield team and the University of Exeter, I shaped the final report narrative, enhancing it with expert commentary, desk research and recommendations. She also developed and executed a media strategy designed to build brand awareness, drive downloads and engage prospective clients.

02 — Results

  • 4 pieces of specialist media coverage, including Business Cornwall, Mission Lit, and Growth Hub Online.

  • A guest appearance on the Ecosend podcast to discuss the findings.

  • 339 downloads of the full report via the Hiyield website.

  • The report has since been used by the Hiyield team in proposals and new business conversations - with positive feedback from prospective clients.

  • 7 experts were interviewed and featured in the final report, adding credibility, depth, and social amplification.

(Collaborating with Ellie) felt like working with someone really embedded in our team who truly understood our business and what we wanted to achieve.
