Customer comms that work when it matters most.

Utilities are judged in the worst moments โ€” outages, rate changes, storm seasons. We build the communication systems that keep customers informed automatically, and the campaigns that drive program participation the rest of the year.

What we run

Always-on customer communication.

  • Outage communications

    Automated, multi-channel updates โ€” web, SMS, email, social โ€” that keep customers informed and call centers breathing.

  • Rate change campaigns

    Clear, plain-language communication sequences that explain changes before the first surprised bill lands.

  • Efficiency program marketing

    Campaigns that actually drive enrollment in rebate, efficiency, and demand-response programs.

  • Storm season readiness

    Pre-built communication playbooks and weather-triggered automation, ready before the season starts.

  • Website & self-service

    Fast, accessible sites that hold up under storm-day traffic spikes and make self-service the easy path.

  • AI customer assistant

    A chatbot that handles billing, outage, and program questions around the clock โ€” escalating the rest.

How it works

Playbooks before storms.

  1. 01

    Audit the touchpoints

    We map every customer communication channel and find the gaps customers complain about.

  2. 02

    Build the playbooks

    Outage, rate change, and seasonal communication sequences get written, approved, and staged in advance.

  3. 03

    Automate the triggers

    Events fire the right playbook automatically โ€” no scrambling to draft messages mid-crisis.

  4. 04

    Measure and refine

    Call volume, engagement, and program enrollment tell us what to tighten each season.

Outcomes

What utilities see.

  • Fewer storm-day calls

    Proactive updates answer the question before the customer dials it.

  • Smoother rate rollouts

    Customers who understand a change before the bill arrives complain less and churn less.

  • Higher program enrollment

    Targeted campaigns move efficiency programs from brochure to participation.
