Cadent Gas Limited needed to establish its brand identity and build public awareness around its ownership of four of the eight UK gas distribution networks. Crucially, the public and key stakeholders needed to understand Cadent’s role in emergency operations, maintenance, and repair work—especially in unexpected incidents. Building trust and recognition was paramount, ensuring people knew who Cadent is and how they serve communities.
Our Approach:
When Maksol Technologies partnered with Cadent, we created an integrated, video-based campaign showcasing “Cadent Heroes” from different service areas. By humanizing the brand, these real-life stories educated the public about Cadent’s expertise and service scope.
Content Hub & Storytelling
We developed a dedicated landing page serving as a central content hub, featuring videos, copy, and images that reinforced brand messaging and built trust.
By integrating Earned Media and Creative strategies, the campaign’s visuals and storytelling showcased Cadent’s commitment to public safety and reliable service.
Integrated Promotion
A mix of organic and paid social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) targeted well-defined audiences and directed them to the landing page.
Instagram proved particularly effective, referring 25% of the landing page traffic with visually engaging ad formats and precise audience targeting.
THE RESULTS:
This authentic, behind-the-scenes approach resonated widely, delivering impressive outcomes during the six months of the campaign’s run:
Over 4 million video views on a single “day in the life” piece, highlighting the dedication of Cadent’s workforce—from engineers to call handlers.
15+ million impressions across the various campaigns, far exceeding initial targets.
By collaborating with Maksol Technologies, Cadent Gas Limited successfully amplified its brand presence, earned public trust, and showcased the vital work of its employees in ensuring the safety and reliability of the UK’s gas network.
