The energy transition isn’t on the horizon; we are right in the middle of it! As a company directly involved in providing solutions for more efficient energy management, we need a voice. A channel through which we can disseminate information. For us, that channel is LinkedIn.

task

"We need a real platform for the topics of the energy transition." - That was the beginning of the LinkedIn initiative with SAMSON AG.

The energy transition requires targeted communication about the fact that everyone must be part of the solution. And SAMSON AG needs a platform to kickstart this communication.

Strategy

We aimed to train thought leaders, industry experts, and pioneers in the field of energy transition to become active on LinkedIn. Ultimately, we created genuine 'Energy Influencers'.

  • Ideas, innovation, topics, discussions—only those who actively engage can take a stance and influence. That’s precisely what Samson AG can do on LinkedIn.
  • A crystal-clear positioning of the executive leadership as thought leaders, with one goal in mind: creating greater awareness within society and among energy industry companies.
  • A thoughtful LinkedIn strategy, built on the expertise of thought leaders, establishes trust and further fortifies Samson AG’s reputation.
  • LinkedIn serves as a pivotal channel to be “seen” by the right individuals, offering access to diverse groups that enable the initiation of various discussions and topics.

implementation

Taking responsibility means: informing, raising awareness, and interacting. - And that's what Samson AG does with a personal impact on LinkedIn.

1. Ambassador.

Strong messages require courageous brand ambassadors and thought leaders. Coupled with a clear positioning on LinkedIn, it becomes possible to deliver expertise to the right individuals.

2. Relevance.

Only strong messages are relevant. They generate enthusiasm and acceptance—essential factors for being perceived as an industry opinion leader. This necessitates the right positioning and the correct content strategy.

3. Awareness.

Posting. Posting. Posting. This is how Samson AG consistently plants emotional ‘cookies’ with the target audience, day by day. Until the messages resonate and the visibility becomes truly palpable.
