ENERGY

Energy makes the world hum. It's huge. The Energy Transition is changes and challenges us. And it's often misunderstood.

We helped address public concerns about LNG with educational video content; we worked to educate people on energy efficiency with useful social & digital content; and we’re rooting for Nova Scotia’s emerging tidal energy players. Very cool nation-building stuff.

STREETERS - HEAT WRAP

Client: Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) (Ontario)

The Independent Electricity System Operator (aka IESO) has a question for Ontario. So, we hit the streets of Ottawa and Toronto and asked the unsuspecting citizens a few simple questions. There’s always something new to learn about energy efficiency, in our homes and in our workplaces. Some of them may surprise you, as they did the good people of Ontario!

WHAT IS ENERGY EFFICIENCY?

Client: Efficiency Nova Scotia

Energy efficiency is a tough concept to make tangible. How do you quantify the value of something you don’t use? To support Efficiency Nova Scotia's annual report, we created a short animation - inspired by the lyrical, poetic style of Giant Ant Media’s “Educate the Heart” - to help Nova Scotians appreciate the benefits derived from the commitment to being more energy efficient.

TIDAL POWER: A PREDICTABLE FUTURE

Client: Black Rock Tidal Power

The powerful tides in the Bay of Fundy have long held allure for their potential as a source of renewable energy. Enter Black Rock Tidal. Their challenge is trying to harness 160 billion tonnes of water twice a day. Our challenge was creating a compelling story about this new kid on the tidal energy block.

THE FORCE OF TIDAL

Client: Halifax Partnership

Nova Scotia’s Ocean Sector is producing great stories of innovative entrepreneurs. UK-born entrepreneur Tom Knox got a $20,000 grant and built his prototype connector in his own garage. It immediately started selling internationally as it was revolutionary in size and power, helping to monitor the turbines in the Bay of Fundy in harsh, extreme conditions.
