#keepittogether

      Problem

      The energy industry has a great responsibility regarding climate issues and is often accused of doing nothing about it. Our mission was to enlighten the Gothenburg citizens that sustainability on the contrary is the key issue for Göteborg Energi, and that you as their customer are part of a journey towards a more sustainable world. The goal was to strengthen the perception of Göteborg Energi as a company that stands for a sustainable society.

      The Solution

      We challenged Göteborg Energi to put together a list of sustainability efforts (both social and ecological) that they already do or are in the starting pits to begin with. They came back with a list of 70 different initiatives. Inspired by people such as Greta Thunberg and the global wave of environmental activism, we created a massive local campaign based on a large number of ingenious and poster-friendly messages under the name: #hållbaraihop (#keepittogether).

      Execution

      The campaign was launched via PR, billboards, print ads and banners where the activistic expression broke through the media noise in an effective way. In social media and other digital touchpoints, we brought the messages to life in a fun and expressive way and invited the Gothenburgers to start a dialogue with sustainability experts.
