Simply Energy rebrands, launches major campaign via HERO
Simply Energy has officially rebranded as ENGIE, with a major new campaign launching on Thursday to highlight its affordable and sustainable energy options for customers.
The campaign, developed by recently appointed indie creative agency HERO, introduces the brand’s new platform, ‘It’s Possible’.
The agency was appointed in May last year, following a competitive pitch. Its responsibilities include all creative and strategy for brand, customer acquisition, and customer marketing.
“We couldn’t be more excited to officially launch ENGIE to market as an energy retailer in Australia today, through our work with HERO,” said Penny Maher, general manager marketing and digital experience, at ENGIE Retail Australia.
The work touches on cost-of-living pressures as it aims to show customers that renewable energy plans don’t have to be expensive, showcasing ENGIE’s new GreenPower plans as an affordable alternative.
Research conducted by Nature in November 2023 found that over 70% of Aussies believe environmental sustainability is the responsibility of government and corporates to manage. Close to 70% also don’t have green power plans, and aren’t considering it in the next twelve months. ‘It’s Possible’ hopes to change that.
“We know Australian consumers want good value; particularly now, but they also expect their energy retailer to contribute to a sustainable future in a responsible way,” Maher continued. “ENGIE’s new platform shows that it’s possible to have affordable and sustainable energy plans, to make the everyday more epic.”
HERO’s executive creative director, Shane Geffen, added: “Powering your home with affordable and sustainable energy from ENGIE makes every energy moment a little more epic and magical… even if it is making your morning cuppa.”
The campaign is live across TV, BVOD, radio, digital, social, and OOH.
