PROBLEM

Australian energy provider "Origin" was acquired to boost people engagement and drive awareness to its new product “Good Energy” message among existing and new customers.

Origin's New Energy Brand

SOLUTION

1. First off, Origin has worked with the media-buying agency, Atomic 212, in order to run its 3 months campaign that would reach the goal.
2. Origin used Facebook video ads to amplify its “Good Energy” TV ad to reach a wider audience.
3. The ad featured a range of everyday moments to convey the message that Origin is more affordable, sustainable, smarter and easier.
4. At launch, Origin ran its full 30-second ad on both Facebook and Instagram and by week 2, it launched re-edited 6- and 10-second ads in 1:1 and 2:3 ratios–targeting audiences at different life stages and highlighting its core messaging. Origin’s creative agency, TBWA, developed these videos.
5. It also used the Custom Audiences tool to connect with existing customers, and broad audience targeting to expand the reach to non-customers.
6. Additionally, it also used reach and frequency buying to maximize the number of people that saw Origin’s brand message and ensure they saw it frequently enough that it made an impact.
7. The team used a combination of the brand awareness and video views ad objectives to connect people with the “Good Energy” message on mobile screens. These buying options allowed Origin to reach people who were more likely to remember the ad or start watching a video.
8.  During the campaign, Origin had the highest share of voice on Facebook and Instagram compared to its competitors.
