Bounty Box (www.getbountybox.com), a startup founded by current Stanford students, is working hard to do something about the huge food waste problem we have in this country. 6 billion pounds of fresh produce go unharvested or unsold every year in the U.S., lots of it because it doesn't meet strict cosmetic standards set by grocery stores. That's lost profit for farmers, and wasted WATER and energy.
Bounty Box sources directly from local farms the produce that would ordinarily go to waste because it's the wrong shape, size or color. Perfect fresh, real food, grown as nature intended -- going to waste! Think about it...why are all the carrots in the grocery store perfectly straight? How are all the kiwis exactly the same size? That's not how real fruits and vegetables grow.
We've just been issued a challenge via Launchpad to sell 1,500 boxes of produce in less than 2 weeks. This will be a huge stretch, but we believe we can do it. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Specifically, we're looking for all star who can DESIGN and LEAD the following initiatives:
-- email marketing campaign
-- fliers...to be posted across social media outlets
-- other creative marketing tactics (video?)
Must be passionate about the Bounty Box mission, and must have experience in marketing or design. We need help immediately for this challenge, but opportunity for this to turn into summer job opportunity as well.
