Some planning at work: this time a new brand spot for Jämtkraft, a Swedish energy company.
Background
Jämtkraft is different to other energy companies. The people that work there are actually really nice people, not greedy men in suits. The company gives a lot back to the local communities such as building arenas and sponsoring many different local sports teams. In customer satisfaction ratings (NKI), Jämtkraft scores higher than any power company in Sweden.
Jämtkraft is currently the fifth largest player in the Swedish energy market. For a long time it has been focused on its local market, but the time has come to grow nationally. This is the first national brand awareness campaign.
Insights
1. People switch energy supplier based either on price or brand familiarity. Prices are impossible to guarantee because these are determined by spot-prices. Brand is therefore the only thing will set a power company apart.
2. The world of big energy companies is a masculine world – mostly concerned about grand visions and future technology. But ordinary people care more their family than these things.
Strategy
1. Be the small power company that’s more human.
2. Appeal to both men and women, not just men.
Concept
Give people something important to think about: how electricity affect our lives.
Thought
The most important energy comes from people, not an electrical cord.
