Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks – the distribution arm of energy supplier SSE – wanted to overhaul its external communications for customers experiencing a power cut.

Speakeasy was tasked with scripting the films to provide accurate advice in an engaging, reassuring and accessible way.

Using friendly 2D animation, we created a rural village location and a small number of simple characters – Jack and Mavis and their dog Buzz.

The first of our films delivers advice on how to prepare for a power cut, providing a series of tips on what to expect and how to respond safely. The second film gives advice for those already experiencing a power cut, including how to connect with Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks

Speakeasy also created five shorter social media films, each offering one specific tip.
