01

Starting point

LibertéWatts is a mobile application that turns every home equipped with a Linky meter into an actor in the energy transition. By connecting directly to the meter, it offers users electrical suppression challenges — that is, voluntary reductions in consumption — triggered during peaks in demand on the network. These efforts are valued and paid for by RTE.

A unique innovation, at the crossroads of technology, energy efficiency and citizen commitment.

The goal

Au lancement de la collaboration avec 425PPM, LibertéWatts comptait environ 500 utilisateurs. L’équipe cherchait à :

  • Émerger rapidement dans un marché encore méconnu.
  • Rendre intelligible un modèle technique, à la fois énergétique, économique et numérique.
  • Accélérer fortement l’adoption de l’application, sans budget publicitaire.

What we did

Expertise involved
Press relations

We have designed an offensive press relations strategy, based on three main levers:

Vulgarization of the message

  • Redesign of the press pitch
  • Construction of a clear and accessible narrative: electric erasure, citizen engagement, gamification


Precise media targeting

  • Journalists: energy, tech, general public, ecological transition
  • Valorization of the link between technological innovation and concrete impact

Strategic timing

  • Positioning in the winter context (consumption peaks, energy efficiency)
  • Preparation of the founder's television intervention (media training)
03

Results

  • Going from 500 to over 5,000 users in less than two months
  • Over 30 appearances in leading media, including: BFM Business, France 3, RMC (Estelle Midi), Europe 1, Europe 1, Radio Classique, Capital, B SMART, Futura Sciences, Economie Matin, Economy, Brittany Economique, Brittany Economique, Scanopy, NLTO, etc.
  • Immediate media effect: Following an RMC column, the application recorded 636 downloads in one day, including 300 in under four minutes. No push, no advertising: only the power of the media relay.

What the client says

« Press relations have clearly been an accelerator. In a few weeks, we went from 500 to more than 5,000 users . The media strategy of 425PPM allowed us to be visible at the right time, in the right media and to give credibility to our position on electrical erasure. »
