Disrupting the Status Quo: Creating a New Technology Category/
Mercom’s Experience and Capabilities Propel Highview Power to the World Stage
Introduction
Highview Power developed a revolutionary long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology using liquid air.
Client Challenge
As Highview Power grew and prepared to launch its technology globally, the company needed to be viewed as a leader in the long-duration energy storage category so that it could secure new projects and additional funding.
“Other communications firms wanted to work with us to get needed energy experience but we needed a firm with deep energy experience and chose Mercom.”
Mercom Solution
Mercom developed a comprehensive strategic plan that validated the technology, educated audiences about the urgency of addressing climate change, and the important role of Highview Power technology in the energy transition.
The campaign generated visibility for the company’s brand across the industry, increased the engagement and number of social media followers, and established executives as subject matter experts in the clean energy vertical.
