Singapore – Energy provider Senoko Energy, in collaboration with creative consultancy ABrandADay, is giving away its pineapple plushies to eligible homeowners in a locker activation launch. 

Senoko Energy’s activation, launched in partnership with locker network Pick Network and OOH media platform owner Target Media, conceals the BB Ong Lai and Ong Li plushies in lockers at 282C Sengkang East Avenue. 

The lockers can be accessed by scanning a QR code and completing a brief questionnaire. Those eligible will be sent a PIN that unlocks the locker with a free plushie.

Through the activation, Senoko Energy aims to engage customers through community experiences, consequently boosting its brand presence in Singapore.

The activation builds on Senoko Energy’s launch of plushie vending machines, adding convenience to how they can be redeemed.

“Our social channels have been buzzing with requests for more of BB Ong Lai and Ong Li after the success of their tour. We’re pleased to partner with Pick Network and Target Media to bring these fan favourites even closer to home,” Heather Ang, head of marketing and consumer sales at Senoko Energy, said.

“Being the first to launch this innovative locker wrap activation lets us offer the beloved pineapple plushies to more homeowners across Singapore—this time, right to their doorsteps or almost,” Nafe Tong, chief creative officer and founder at ABrandADay, said.

Singapore – Local electric utility company Senoko Energy has tapped DDB Singapore for an innovative and unique initiative – the first ‘National Singlet Month.’ Said initiative celebrates the little actions in daily life, like wearing singlets, that can create ripples of positive change in energy conservation.

The ‘National Singlet Month’ supports Senoko Energy’s ongoing mission to provide sustainable energy solutions that put Singapore’s Net Zero goals within reach.

The initiative showcases Singapore’s quintessential wardrobe staple to highlight seemingly small daily habits that reduce energy consumption and inspire Singaporeans to contribute to a greener future. 

Moreover, the month-long ‘Singlet Wearers’ activation marks the first phase of Senoko’s wider ‘Thank You’ campaign, which spotlights energy savers to support environmental sustainability. DDB kicked off the campaign on 16 July with a social media contest and short film amplified through influencer engagement.

A one-minute video was launched on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram in collaboration with Mothership and social media influencers Xiao Ming (@sgagxiaoming) and Jayne (@jaynejetplane). Saluting energy savers nationwide, the film calls on all Singaporeans to embrace small actions that lead to big changes in energy conservation.

As part of the initiative, a month-long contest on Instagram and Facebook challenges Singaporeans was launched to encourage locals to submit photos of themselves dressed in a singlet while creatively conserving energy at home. The winner will receive a six-day ecotourism experience for two to the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, Australia, for which Senoko will offset the carbon footprint. 200 Senoko Energy customers who pledge to support the campaign online will also receive a limited-edition Senoko Energy singlet twinset.

Vinod Savio, chief creative officer at DDB Group Singapore, said, “National Singlet Month is a testament to the power of small actions, like wearing a singlet, in contributing to energy conservation efforts. By dedicating a month to these energy conservation actions, we hope to inspire more people to do their part for a sustainable future.”

Meanwhile, Frederik Baerts, CEO of Senoko Energy, commented, “With the National Singlet Month campaign, we are not only encouraging Singaporeans to reduce their energy consumption. It is a wider movement to recognise the current ways in which Singaporeans are already conserving energy and to encourage them to continue championing such behaviours.”

In addition to ‘Singlet Wearers’, the campaign will spotlight other personas in later phases, such as the ‘Selfless Switcher’ who advocates for power-saving practices like switching off unused plugs, reducing air-con temperatures, turning off lights when not in use to reduce utility bills, and investing in energy-efficient devices. Phase two of the campaign, which will feature more energy-saving personas, is scheduled to launch in 2025.
