Progress Energy and Duke Energy are two leading

utility companies targeted to merge by the end of

2011 under the name Duke Energy. This merger

has come about in the best interest of shareholders

and customers as it will result in creating the largest

regulated utility company in the United States.

The transformation will enable Duke Energy to

invest in abundant new technologies as they enter

a building phase to reduce environmental footprints

and become more efficient (Duke Energy, 2011). A

merger will make growth possible by combining and

increasing financial assets. Reduced consumption

of fuel along with a joint dispatch of energy services

will translate into immediate customer savings. What

this denotes is that Duke Energy is headed in a fresh

direction energized by a new business strategy.

In order to ensure that Duke Energy’s brand reflects

their current values, the company must rebrand

to create one unified identity which will mirror the

change in direction that the merger will bring about.

According to Kathryn Best, author of Design

Management, “A corporate identity expresses the

values and beliefs that an organization stands for,

and these values and beliefs will be outlined in the

company’s brand and mission statement” (Best,

2006).

Launching a rebranding campaign will benefit Duke

Energy in the following ways: it will preserve brand

positioning within the marketplace, serve to inform

customers and shareholders of the merger, invoke

confidence from the target audience, and additionally

elude current fears of using nuclear energy due to

bad press regarding the recent nuclear disaster

in Japan. The campaign will accomplish all of the

above via the target message: “Duke Energy is a

safe energy provider that will put your mind at ease

so you can enjoy life.”

The design strategy will use imagery and graphics

for storytelling; styled in a retro and contemporary

fashion.

Target Attributes

Jacqueline is a strong woman. She became pregnant while in Cosmetology School but made it through with support from her husband and parents. She married young to her high school sweetheart. Early on they struggled with finances but they are now becoming more stable. Jacqueline’s husband was a football player in high school, though he did not obtain enough scholarships to afford college so he is employed as a delivery driver. Jacqueline’s husband hopes to one day return back to school. They must both work to maintain a middle class income. Jacqueline’s husband helps out around the house to ease her workload.

The Webb’s just purchased their first home. Jacqueline and her husband chose to reside in the area which they grew up because a close family is important to Jacqueline.

Target Attributes

Dan has never been good with women. He overworks himself and then comes home tired and just wants to relax. This means that he does not have enough energy left over to really give a lover the attention they need. That is why his ex wife left him. Dan only gets to spend time with his daughter every other weekend plus Tuesdays. He makes the most of the time he gets with his daughter and wishes he could be a better father to her. Dan’s environment is usually messy. He lives in a two bedroom apartment. Dan does a quick cleanup every weekend so that his ex won’t think he’s a slob when she drops off Kelsey.

Dan spends most of his evenings eating processed foods, and playing video games. For fun he goes out drinking with the boys and watches NASCAR. He enjoys reading science fiction, especially the Ender’s Game series because he longs for adventure and a break in daily routine. Dan is hopeful that good fortune will eventually come his way, though he puts in little effort for change outside of his daily routine. He has a savings fund for his daughter so that she can have a chance at education that he was never given.

1.5 research

Progress Energy and Duke Energy plan to merge by the

end of 2011. This merger has brought about a need

for a revised brand image which will encompass the

values and vision of the resulting fused company. The

campaign will rejuvenate public views of nuclear energy

as well as inform customers and shareholders of the

company merger. The “Making Happy” campaign will

find commonalities between Progress Energy and Duke

Energy in history, current goals and vision for the new

direction of what will be Duke Energy. The campaign

will utilize the three key tenants: clean, progressive,

and diverse to build a message that tugs at audience

emotions by way of lifestyle advertising (a type of

advertising which sells a lifestyle rather than a product).

Research PaperAbstract

The advertising strategy will target parents and humanize

the company by using the voice of a father talking

about his child for body copy. Duke Energy’s advertising

problem will first be solved by means of rebranding

the company image. This will include the creation

of a new logo and tag line, as well as an updated

company appearance. The new brand image will use

color and typography to create a relaxed feeling which

will tie into the emotional aspect of lifestyle advertising.

Avenues of advertising will include daily operational

components such as internal-use forms and templates

for communication; print material, online advertising via

website and social media, billboards, magazines and

commercials. The problem will furthermore be resolved

by educating the target audience by way of facts

applied to body copy in advertising materials.

Even though atomic energy has been studied and

developed for over 100 years, people still do not trust

it. In the early days mistakes were made and public

faith was lost. Natural disasters, blown out of proportion

by the media, have not helped nuclear energy in

regaining the confidence of the public. Nuclear power

and its operators today are stringently regulated and

supervised. Radiation protection has vastly improved.

Many changes have been made for the better to ensure

public safety. Every energy source has its risks, but

these risks are being kept at a minimum via policy,

regulations, and improved technologies. Still, people

are afraid of that which they do not understand; thus

the “Making Happy” campaign must educate the public

so that they will grow to trust nuclear energy as a safe

reliable power. It is resolved that the “Making Happy”

campaign will support the birth of one unified company

from the merger of Progress Energy and Duke Energy.

The campaign will do so via print material, online, and

commercials. The reexamined brand image will reinforce

Duke Energy’s standing as the largest utility company in

the United States.

Campaign Project Brief

Progress Energy is merging with Duke Energy under the name Duke Energy. Products and services include energy generation and transmission by way of coal, gas, oil, nuclear, hydro, wind and biomass.

Duke Energy is the only utility company that utilizes research and technology to put sustainability and affordability above immediate profitability for penny pinching parents mostly in the United States who need dependable energy in an era of increasing technology dependence.

Our goal is to achieve national brand awareness among the target group as Progress Energy merges with Duke Energy.

We have a broad audience including adults living in the Carolinas, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. The target audience includes Blue Collar and White Collar workers of a median income; many of which are parents on a tight budget.

We envision a world with sustainable clean energy that is safe and will not leave behind waste and pollution for future generations. We want to become the largest utility company in the United States.

2.3 style guide ImageryIllustrated imagery builds the mood of the

Duke Energy Campaign. It acts as borders,

backgrounds, and key components in page

layouts to help tell the story of Duke Energy.

Lines represent wind power. Flowers which

border the bottoms of pages represent

different types of energy including wind,

biomass, nuclear, solar, and gas. The floating

shapes and particles are another symbol of

nuclear power.

Photographs help to show the lifestyle of

Duke Energy. They are fun, energetic and

bright. Photographs must not be faded or lack

saturation. Photos with plenty of white are ideal

to create the mood of Duke Energy. Gradients

may be applied to photos in order to blend

them with the background of a page.

Air . Water . Fire . Earth

The icon for Duke Energy is comprised of elements from which

energy is derived. Air creates wind power, water facilitates

hydropower, fire represents the heated energies such as coal

and earth is the soil that forms oil and biomass.

submenus which lead visitors to the information they are in

search of. Visitors can either select from menu options at

the top of the Duke Energy website or from a quick list at the

bottom. Navigation is the first priority of the website. Visitors

must be able to find what they are in search of within 60

seconds of entering the site. Buttons are clearly labeled with

a font that is readable and all caps. The background colors

of buttons are differentiated from the background of the

website. Headings state what visitors will find on the page

they have just clicked on. Text is placed with enough contrast

to easily stand out from the background to be readable. Font

size is large enough for older audiences to navigate the site.

Inspirational Logos

Before the design process could

begin, I had to first see what types

of logos were currently in the field of

Energy Generation so that I would

be sure Duke Energy’s redesigned

logo would stand out from the

competition.

Next I looked at inspiring logos,

some of which were from outside the

industry, to see how I could tackle

the task of incorporating many types

of energy into one logo.

Choosing the correct typestyle can

make or break a logo. Typestyle

gives a logo personality. It may

read as being elegant, fun, or

professional. The voice of Duke

Energy needed to look modern and

technological yet personable.

Text

The challenge of branding two

companies which have merged is

carrying over the essence of each

company into a new brand identity.

The original logos for both Progress

Energy and Duke Energy use bold

San Serif fonts with energetic icons

which create movement around the

firmly grounded text. The overall feel

is masculine and powerful.

Planning

Sketching is the most crucial step

in any design process. It is where

ideas come alive. Development of

the Duke Energy logo began with

over 50 drawings. From those a

select few were chosen to further

explore.

Print Media Sketches

The ProcessThe planning stage of an

advertisement begins with the

copy. Before addressing layout,

a designer must decide what the

message will be and write the body

copy complete with a call to action.

Once I had a solid plan for the ad

verbiage, I began thinking about

how to visually tell the story through

imagery and layout. This process

entailed sketching out rough ideas

on graphing paper. At this point

the design was then laid out in

Photoshop utilizing tools from the

Moodboard to ensure branding

was consistent. After peer review

and a second look at the design,

further refinement was made to the

advertisements.

Website Development

The ProcessPlanning a website not only involves

visual and textual communication, it

also requires usability and interaction.

The process began with rough

sketches of the homepage layout.

Next a list of necessary pages

helped to guide the creation of a site

map. Further research on where to

place buttons and menus lead to

wire frame drawings of main web

pages. Next, a series of drafts were

produced in Photoshop to establish

the final layout for the web pages.

Lastly, the final designs are used

to create a functional website with

HTML coding.

Signage must be able to be seen from long distances through all weather conditions in a matter of seconds. Text

must be bright and readable; additionally copy has to be concise and to the point. The Billboard basically boils

down content from the print advertisement to what is really important. A person passing by will have less time to

read the content than if they were skimming through a magazine and therefore can only process at maximum

one sentence of information.

Print advertisements target parents, grandparents,

and adults who are beginning to think about children.

They are geared to evoke a caring emotional

response.

The “Making happy memories one kilowatt at a time”

ad describes a boy who decorates the house with

Christmas ornaments for Santa. It ties the 40 watts of

energy in with what children are learning in school as

a result of Duke Energy’s work in the local community

and school system.

The “Change the earth with change to spare” ad

asks the question, “What will you leave behind for

the next generation?” This advertisement gives facts

which enable the reader to visualize just how much

4.3 final design Vehicle Wrap

In the 1960’s “flower power” advocated peace and

love. In the Duke Energy campaign flower power

takes on a whole different meaning. Flower designs

represent different types of energy. The flowers shown

on the T-shirt design began as a nuclear symbol and

then morphed into something more. Curving lines

represent power lines bringing energy to the public.

iPad Application

The concept for an iPad Application is that it will draw

in interest from a younger crowd through game play.

The object of the game is to provide power from

Duke Energy to the city. Players must build power

lines across the screen as a giant sludge monster

spews bouncing balls of sludge which eat away the

power lines. Planting trees builds a blockade which

temporarily stops the sludge balls until they eat their

way past. Planting flowers (which represent different

energy sources) makes the sludge monster shrink in

size until he is defeated. The iPad Application is meant

for a touchscreen. To play a person first touches a

white button at the bottom of the screen and then

touches the location on the screen where they want

to plant that item. There are a series of levels that start

out simple and grow more complicated as the player

advances to the next level.

Motion Graphic

The motion graphic begins by showing scenes from

daily life through the eyes of a woman as she wakes

up, gets ready for work and comes home. Screen

shots change to the sound of a heart beat. In the

background music begins to build. A narrator reads:

“On average the human body expends 10,000 joules

of energy per minute at a heart rate of 90 beats per

minute.” The camera shot of the woman unzipping

her jacket reveals a switch to animation as a beating

heart morphs into a wind turbine which pulls the

logo in. Narration reads: “Even in a state of rest your

body never stops working; neither do we. Take 60

seconds, 90 heartbeats, or 10,000 joules of energy

to go online and see how Duke Energy can work for

you.” The scene closes with the Duke energy logo

breaking apart to reveal the website address.
