Approach

Research with focus groups and content creators helped define an authentic tone and test three creative routes. My Energy, My Life emerged as the strongest idea. Five young people were then filmed in their real working environments, with minimal staging and visible energy cues, creating natural short films and social stories for Facebook and Instagram.

Connecting Infrastructure With Ambition

The participant stories made a large infrastructure initiative personally relevant by showing what reliable energy enables people to pursue in their own lives.

Outcome

The campaign delivered a coordinated month-long story across protagonist-led films, cut-downs, carousels and explainer content. By grounding energy in real people and daily life, it gave a large infrastructure story a relatable public face and a clear emotional through-line.
