energy marketing case study

Intro

Background

Energy Marketing / Alberta-Based Utility Provider

SPOTpower is a local Alberta-based energy marketer focused on simple plans, honest pricing, and a friendly community-driven brand voice. With transparent pricing and a recognizable mascot, “Spot”, the company wanted to scale its presence across Alberta and modernize its marketing. SPOTpower approached Carmella at a key moment of growth, seeking to build brand awareness, strengthen digital performance, and introduce video content that would humanize the brand and support long-term customer acquisition.

The

Challenge

SPOTpower needed a cohesive marketing system that could reach Albertans in a competitive market, increase conversions, and present a polished, modern energy brand. The goal was to unify paid advertising, content, and creative assets under one strategy. SPOTpower also needed a full suite of short-form videos for advertising and social media, including commercial-ready versions. Every channel needed to reinforce the same message: SPOT the Difference.

Our

Approach

Carmella designed a full-funnel marketing approach that combined advertising, video production, content design, and analytics under one clear direction. Advertising and Performance We developed SPOTpower’s advertising program across Google with ad copy, remarketing campaigns, ad extensions, call tracking, analytics setup, form tracking, ongoing optimization, and monthly reporting. This structure allowed us to refine targeting, reduce CPC, improve CTR, and increase site visit volume since launching the campaign. Reels and Video Production Carmella produced more than 50 unique videos, including 36 reels and video shorts and 14 short-form videos. Deliverables included scripting, storyboarding, camera operation, lighting, b-roll, editing, and music licensing, with two videographers on-site. These videos created a foundation for digital ads, social content, and community engagement. Selected videos were converted into 15-second and 30-second commercials that will air on Corus. Design Support We provided branded creative assets that reinforced the SPOT the Difference identity and ensured consistency across every touchpoint. This also included two pull-up banners to support SPOTpower’s presence at community events. Community and Partnership Concepts To strengthen local relevance and deepen the emotional connection with Albertans, we explored several partnership ideas grounded in SPOTpower’s values. These concepts included evolving the existing SPOTCares program through collaborations with Theatre Calgary to highlight the brand’s commitment to local community, arts and culture, as well as expanded partnership opportunities with ARF to support animal rescue initiatives that align naturally with Spot’smascot-driven identity. These partnership directions were structured to create community goodwill while building brand lift through storytelling, shared audiences, and meaningful local impact.
