Most energy companies are the same - big, profit driven polluters who try and differentiate themselves with discounts and fancy offers. On the other hand, Momentum Energy is different.
Momentum is backed by Hydro Tasmania, Australia’s largest generator of renewable energy. As a Tasmanian company, it sees the potential of nature all around them, and that defines its attitude to the environment, its customers, and its advertising.
“Energy companies, what made you choose yours?” is the opening line in the first brand campaign from DDB and RAPP Melbourne since the business picked up the account. The ad goes on to list examples of platitudes and marketing puffery constantly wheeled out by other energy companies in an effort to lure consumers.
“We see a world full of people that need energy, and a planet that needs looking after,” said Momentum marketing manager, Alex Kharucky. “Unlike other energy companies, we understand that the two are inextricably entwined and that’s why we come from a different place.”
The campaign launches with a 60-second brand spot with three supporting 15 seconds commercials. In the 15s, Momentum’s values and beliefs are dramatised in a series of humorous situations set in the Tasmanian wilderness.
The TV campaign was directed by Tom Noakes from Scoundrel Films and is supported by radio, digital, press and outdoor.
