SECC Generates Thousands of YouTube Views with Educational Animated Video Series

Challenge

The Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative (SECC) wanted to engage consumers with a fun, shareable and educational video series that brings popular energy topics to life.

Solution

Questline helped SECC to develop a video series focused on three topics: emerging energy technology, electric vehicles and renewable energy. The short, three-minute videos needed to incorporate key information from SECC’s in-depth fact sheets about each topic. Questline developed the creative concept of Professor Energy, a lively animated character to serve as the guide and voiceover. This concept was a nostalgic nod to classic science education programs.

The “Evolving World of Energy” video series illustrated energy’s dramatic transformation, providing important insights, latest statistics and real-world examples. In each video, Professor Energy educated and entertained viewers with captivating storytelling and eye-catching animation. The three videos were featured in a variety of communications, including SECC’s industry and consumer websites, webinars, social media, email marketing and in-person conferences.

Results

“The Evolving World of Energy” video series proved to be a success, helping to increase consumer understanding of renewable energy and smart technology. The “Electric Vehicles: How Much Do You Know?” video is the most popular to date, reflecting growing consumer interest in EVs.
