The energy landscape—particularly in the Unites States—is going through a profound shift. This requires companies to communicate differently.

Enter an energy marketing agency.

Over the past five years we saw a rise in smart meter implementation across the country, wind and solar energy are now at a place where they’re financially self-sustaining, and we’re beginning to see growth in the use of electric cars and advanced battery practices. With all this change there’s an increased need for smart, sophisticated marketing and communications to speak to energy consumers, utility managers, project developers or financiers.

There are some great energy marketing agencies out there to help you do this.

I’ve complied a list of all the energy sector communications specialists I know of and admire in the US.

Truth in advertising disclaimer: one of these companies is my own (Captains of Industry), but the reality is that ALL of the agencies I’ve listed here bring something different to the table and are worthy of your consideration as you start to look for a partner to help you communicate effectively.
