AUCKLAND, Wednesday: With a stellar year behind, Frank Energy charges forward. A year post rebrand, they witness record growth and launch ‘Same Energy, Probably Cheaper’ platform.
In a realm of rising costs, Frank cements itself against category complexity. The brand, sans incentives, proves compelling propositions triumph in a gimmick-prone sector.
Michael Wood, Head of Brand, cites NZ’s cost crisis for campaign shift. ‘With Kiwis tightening belts, it’s time to spotlight competitive pricing—cheaper power keeps lights on.’
Frank’s experiments challenge perceived value in the energy sector. ‘Premium vs budget’ makes no difference—same electrons, different package, different price tag.
“With Kiwis tightening belts, it’s time to spotlight competitive pricing.”
Jordan Stent, Creative Director at Motion Sickness, draws inspiration from ‘Will it Blend.’ Specialists blur reality in ‘Toast Mountain’ amid controlled experiments.
In an abandoned University husk, the ‘Testing Lab’ explores Frank’s lore. Controlled variables reveal oddly identical subjects in common household power tests—Consumer NZ on steroids.
