Baton Rouge, LA, May 15, 2024 – Three APTIM-administered energy efficiency programs received a total of eight honors from the Hermes Creative Awards, celebrating the impact and creativity of efforts to foster energy conservation across the US. APTIM, an environmental and resilience solutions company, develops the programs’ award-winning marketing and advertising campaigns to engage utilities, residents, industries, and government entities in Louisiana and Wisconsin.
In the educational categories, FOCUS ON ENERGY® (Focus), received a Gold Hermes for “A Day in the Life of an Energy Advisor – Mercury Marine” and an honorable mention for “Energy Vampire Hunter.”
“Educating Wisconsin residents and businesses about energy efficiency and renewable energy is the most important part of our work,” said APTIM Managing Director of Focus Lisa Stefanik. “We want Wisconsin businesses to know they can work with a dedicated Energy Advisor—at zero cost—on projects from start to finish and share new energy- and money-saving ideas every year. And that is on top of the Focus on Energy incentives!”
Another APTIM-administered program, Entergy Solutions Louisiana, earned two Gold honors for their innovative Small Business Television ad and Early Bird Bonus campaigns, as well as an honorable mention for the design and development of a program collateral flipbook. The Energy Smart Entergy New Orleans program received two platinum honors for its Public Awareness and Small Business Energy Assessment campaigns, plus a gold honor for its Peak Time Rebate campaign.
