The Campaign

#makethefuture is a global collaboration platform that brings to life the bright ideas for tomorrow’s energy challenges. We believe that synergy is the future of energy and only together we can achieve our goals. #makethefuture is not about collaboration for the sake of collaboration, it’s about making it meaningful, an invitation for communities, innovators, influencers and everyone else to join us and help turining bright energy ideas into life-changing actions.

Creative Execution

We partnered with various energy startups: Pavegen generates energy from footsteps. We launched the world's first kinetic football pitch Morro da Mineira, Brazil that is lit by the player's kinetic energy. GravityLight turns the weight of a bag of rocks into 20 minutes of light. We spent 50 nights in Kenya replacing dangerous kerosene lamps with clean and sustainable alternative. Capture Mobility turns the wind from traffic into electricity. We connected an entire community in Rio to its most natural source of power through Insolar solar panels. MotionECO turns used cooking oil into biofuels. And bio-bean collects waste coffee grounds and generates energy to heat entire buildings. We also partnered with music artists from around the world such and created a powerful music video: Best Day Of My Life showcasing all the energy ideas. Across all the year, we made consistent and relevant brand actions on spreading energy-related conversations.

We covered 3,000 km across Kenya, reached 31,550 people face-to-face, got 16,340 Trailer Engagements and 2,674 Pre-registration sign-ups. According to roadshow research (Comic Relief and DOEN Foundation), 99% of kerosene users would not use kerosene if they had a GravityLight. In Morro da Mineira pitch there are 2 to 3 hours of play each day at night with local teams, something that never happened before. Business owners surrounding the pitch have said that there is a positive impact on business to have the pitch lit at night. The campaign achieved 2 billion impressions, more than 350 unique pieces of content were created and we obtained more than 535 earned media pieces of coverage including in titles providing us with positive hero coverage across multiple markets: E!News, The Guardian, People’s Daily, Fox 5. Message penetration was on average 85% across the entire campaign reaching 1.8 billion people across earned media.

#makethefuture is an integrated collaborative platform to use the power of all of us to turn ideas into real actions to improve people's lives all over the world. More than just a campaign is a commitment, an optimistic invitation to build a brighter energy future together.

First, we went on a search for startups that were currently working on clean energy solutions. We partnered with them and provided them with different resources and our know how to help bring their ideas to life. Meanwhile, we launched callings for students and energy enthusiasts to join us on bringing ideas for the future of energy, and we also supported their efforts. Also, we partnered with celebrities and artists that were committed to making the world a better place. Once we had connected all the dots, we started powering this bright energy ideas by creating relevant actions, content and experiences; on which we sparked change and invited everyone to participate.
