How to make energy efficiency relatable and eye-catching?

We created a family of animated appliances to explain energy saving tips and programs to ComEd consumers. Over a period of four years, we ran this campaign featuring video, print, out of home advertising and digital/social. It was a success—and surpassed our goal for consumer awareness of the energy efficiency program two years earlier than planned.
