Genesis energises future innovators with new work via Bastion Shine

Genesis is unveiling its newest campaign, highlighting the long-standing Genesis School-gen programme.

School-gen, which has been in operation for over 16 years, offers free STEM educational materials and learning resources to primary schools nationwide.

Recognising that many of New Zealand’s jobs of the future will require STEM skills, and as a Kiwi business employing a large number of STEM roles, Genesis understands the importance of investing in the future of Aotearoa by engaging rangatahi in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) subjects.

In the new film spot, George takes us to her school where we see her and her classmates learning about science, technology, engineering and math as part of the Genesis School-gen programme.

Launched in June 2022, this is the fifth execution from Genesis featuring George and her family, showcasing Genesis products and services. The platform has proven highly successful at engaging New Zealanders with Genesis, and the reasons to choose the energy provider.

Stephanie Fahey, Head of Brand at Genesis, says: “George and her family have been incredibly well received by Kiwis, helping to build an emotional connection and an engaging narrative that is generating strong results for Genesis. Care is at the heart of the Genesis brand and we’re proud to have a long record of supporting New Zealand schools through the School-gen programme.”

Andy McLeish, Partner and Chief Strategy Officer at Bastion Shine, says the campaign with George is an effective vehicle to deliver “proof points for Genesis and build brand affinity”.

“We’re really excited to be adding School-gen to the suite of George stories and share the great work Genesis do in New Zealand schools with the whole country.”

The integrated campaign includes television, radio, OOH, digital and social and launches on 15 October.
