Elpedison, a leading energy provider in Greece, aimed to grow its social media following and enhance brand awareness by establishing itself as an approachable, consumer-friendly company.
Campaign Objectives
Increase social media followers. Boost awareness of Elpedison as the “next-door” energy provider, supporting consumers beyond just energy needs.
Reach a younger audience and position Elpedison as a friendly, down-to-earth brand. Strengthen brand recognition and loyalty.
Creative Idea
Tapping into the global well-being trend of “unplugging”—turning off devices, watching less TV, and recharging ourselves—Elpedison embraced a bold, unconventional approach. Instead of inviting people to “plug in” as an energy provider typically would, Elpedison encouraged people to unplug.
How? With music, and more precisely with unplug concerts! This confident, disruptive idea positioned Elpedison not merely as a provider of energy but as an enabler of energy in life. By inspiring consumers to disconnect and recharge, the campaign reinforced the brand’s human, consumer-first ethos while standing out in a crowded market.
Execution
We hosted an exclusive Instagram contest, inviting followers to “unplug” at a special concert featuring popular performer Panos Vlachos. The contest awarded 100 double invitations, creating a private and exclusive event for a select group of lucky winners. The 1st Unplug with ELPEDISON event launched on November 14, offering ELPEDISON’s Instagram followers a unique opportunity to enjoy a live and unplugged performance by the beloved actor and singer.
Panos Vlachos delivered an unforgettable show, performing favorite hits, including six unplugged tracks that highlighted his exceptional talent and unique timbre. The production was flawless, the audience was thrilled, and Panos Vlachos proved to be utterly electrifying—even when unplugged!
