Tactical guidelines

Leverage storytelling and gamification to achieve

(re)-positioning and loyalty.

Effective storytelling goes through target knowledge and

understanding.In order to do so, we went through a structured approach starting with market analysis,

passing through focus group and polls:

we then selected as primary target 28-45 yrs old, with high adoption of on-line services.

Tactical guidelines

Soon we realized that storytelling alone was not enough

We needed to make a step in the real life and build a

tangible world, since only counting on real experiences we would be

able to create a new positioning, turning upside-down

the traditional perception of a multi-utility company.

Infographics

In order to be close,

we need to be

understandable: a great deal of attention

has been posed to

“how to” – beyond mere “what” –

communicate

Customers historiesAchieve tangibility for services

otherwise not “phisically” perceived

has been one of the goals pursued

to express brand value proposition.

In order to let prospects and

customers have a first-hand

experience, we chose to embody

those values withe the faces and the

stories of those already engaged by

the brand through the video project

Storie di Clienti.

Facebook

An official Facebook

presence has been set-up and

managed to achieve a twofold

purpose:

- increase brand awareness

conveying brand and

product/services messages;

- enlarge on-line customer

base addressing a broader

“generalist” target

L’albero di Estra

The focus on sustainable

food and energy is the

theme of the campaign

L’albero di Estra.

to tell us their commitment

collecting contributions on

Storytelling

To strengthen its positioning, Estra has introduced in its storytelling even

other brands. This is because the brand doesn’t have to be isolated in a self-

referring story.

Storytelling works only if the customer becomes the

hero, not the brand. And it works by building a world

around him in which he can identify himself.That's why Estra, with its storytelling, is not talking about energy but about a

world of comfort in which the customer has total control.

Page 30: ENGAGE CUSTOMERS THROUGH TOTAL BRAND EXPERIENCE TRANSMEDIA STORYTELLING

Beyond storytelling

A storytelling-centered customer relationship encompasses a key firts step in the

engagement process: LISTENING.

A company that listens is a company able to change and adapt on customers needs.

Giving spark to this listening process, Estra – being a commodity supplier –started the

journey to become a true energy service provider.
