Schneider Electric is a global leader in energy management and automation. Their purpose is to create impact by empowering people to make the most of energy and resources, bridging progress and sustainability. With an international marketing strategy that respected market nuances as seen through localised creatives and storytelling, Schneider Electric ensured that their message resonated across borders. Coupled with a multi-format, multi-touchpoint approach that spanned the LinkedIn feed, LinkedIn Audience Network, and LinkedIn Connected TV, Schneider Electric maximised their marketing impact and effectively moved audiences from awareness to consideration.
THE CHALLENGE
The company sought to strengthen brand consideration among senior decision-makers of mid-sized and enterprise companies in their home market of France, as well as in their priority international markets of the US, Germany, and the UK.
THE SOLUTION
Leveraging LinkedIn’s accurate first-party data for precise targeting, Schneider Electric developed an international marketing strategy, using multiple touchpoints and localised video creatives to effectively reach, engage and influence senior leaders.
Phase 1 – Brand Awareness: Schneider Electric served brand videos to their audience, taking care to ensure that the videos were subtitled in the local language to cater to audiences who watch with sound off. Recognising the competitive media landscape in the US, they extended their reach by introducing LinkedIn’s Connected TV ads. By repurposing existing video assets and delivering these directly to audiences in their living rooms, Schneider Electric created a seamless, large-screen experience with targeting precision.
Phase 2 – Brand Consideration: Schneider Electric activated their Impact Maker initiative, which celebrates sustainability-focused leaders, as a way to strengthen brand trust and credibility. They adopted a multi-format approach, combining Video Ads and Single Image Ads in the LinkedIn feed to showcase local customer stories, making their message more relatable and resonant in each market. In France, Schneider Electric added a Thought Leader Ad fronted by their Vice President of Industrial & Process Automation and End-Users, Aymeric Renaud.
