    Meralco’s Spectrum, a renewable energy company that offers end-to-end solar solutions to its customers, is advocating the use of solar energy as an alternative and sustainable energy source. In its efforts to increase brand awareness and promote its advocacy towards sustainability, the company implemented a digital and social media campaign.

    This campaign featured award-winning environmental advocate, Illac Diaz, a social entrepreneur and the founder of Liter of Light. He embodies Spectrum’s customer persona—a family man who advocates for creative and eco-friendly ways to support his family by reducing their expenses through lower electricity bill. We also leveraged the campaign to educate our audience about the benefits of solar energy.

    Spectrum developed tailor-fit video content on Facebook where its target audience are mostly present. By strategically scheduling the campaign from February to March 2023, we capitalized on prevailing research trends and effectively expanded the campaign’s reach.

    Creative storytelling, precise media targeting, and strategic timing led to surpassing the set KPIs. The video achieved nearly 7M impressions (420% above target), 615k reach (138% up), and 484k views. [REDACTED FOR PUBLICATION]
