Launching Sunrun's largest multi-media campaign

Sunrun is the national leader in residential solar and battery storage. As the company's first Director of Brand and Content, I led our creative team through the launch of Sunrun's largest coordinated mass media and marketing campaign. This $10 million campaign, called "Power Through," focused on a theme of resiliency and protection during the uncertainty of 2020. We integrated TV, digital, retail and sales channels that established a look, feel and language for Sunrun to rise above commodity status as a market leader. This national campaign launched in 12 states and we ran in both English and Spanish.

GEO-TARGETED DIGITAL ADS

My team developed the creative for our geo-localized paid and organic social media channels. This content promoted powering through outages caused by regional extreme weather events and utilized real customer testimonials to provide social proof. They were successful in increasing unaided brand awareness by an average of 25% and resulted in 15,000 leads.

TEXAS CAMPAIGN

In February 2021, Texans experienced unprecedented power outages across the state due to extreme weather. To help more Texans harness solar energy, Sunrun expanded its Power Through campaign to Texas. Within one week of the disaster, we had a strong brand presence across Texas, including broadcast TV, social media, billboards, and local news partnerships.​ Prior to creative development, my team traveled to Houston to direct a photo/video shoot that would allow us to capture all raw assets and interviews needed for the campaign. I served as Art Director for on-set production and architected the post-production of all marketing creative.
