Discovering the world of renewable energy on TikTok
The Enel Group operates in more than 30 countries, bringing energy to people through the adoption of new sustainable-oriented technologies. The brand came to TikTok to reach Gen Z and Millennials and engage the future generations on the importance of renewable energy, whilst ensuring the campaign had a humorous and entertaining approach.
Enel partnered with TikTok’s Creative Lab and Alberto Giannone, a popular TikTok science creator, and sent him to two green power plants - a wind one in Italy and a solar one in Spain, to talk about renewable energy through educational and engaging content. More than 20 videos were produced debunking common myths and misconceptions of green energy, underlining Enel’s commitment to this challenge, ensuring they were easy to understand and fit within TikTok’s unique creative language.
In collaboration with Mindshare, Enel’s media agency, the videos were then promoted on TikTok through TopView Ads, Top Feed Ads and Spark Ads which provided premium placement for Enel and ensured it reached the target audience en masse. To finish off the campaign, the brand set up further In-Feed Ads and Spark Ads with video view and traffic objectives.
Leveraging the creative tips from TikTok’s Creative Lab ensured the campaign videos were entirely relevant and native to the platform, with strong campaign performance. Overall, the ads achieved over 70 million impressions and 636,000 clicks and a click-through rate of 0.91%. In terms of engagement, the campaign received over 204,000 likes and 3,600 shares, confirming a strong interest towards sustainability from the TikTok community.
Digital never stops. That’s why it’s crucial for Enel to always be one step ahead with new trends. Being on TikTok allows us to talk to wider and diverse targets. Taking advantage of Enel’s 60th anniversary, we underlined the importance of our journey towards energy transition. We embraced the platform’s native tone of voice to engage our audiences with tailored made content and language.
