Energising Aotearoa

Powering Change needed a simple way to show that a complex mix of energy organisations are working together to supercharge New Zealand's energy future.

The idea used an icon everyone knows. A fully charged battery. Each battery bar became a character, representing different parts of the energy system working together to energise Aotearoa. Generation, distribution, storage and supply. Through these characters, complex ideas became easier to understand.

A flat, graphic style kept things simple and gave the campaign strong cut-through across video, out of home and social.

The result is a cohesive national campaign that positions energy as a shared responsibility and Powering Change as a collective effort to build a stronger, smarter, fairer system for all. Nice one.
