Scenario · Energy & Utilities
An energy organization had reported communication reach while commercial projects and customer programs remained mixed together. We separated audience propositions, defined the completed action for each offer and aligned partner handoffs with those measures.
200 → 320
25% → 32%

Comparable reporting periods
An energy organization had reported communication reach while commercial projects and customer programs remained mixed together.
The work focused on completed program enrollments, eligible-inquiry-to-enrollment conversion, marketing cost per enrollment. Program enrollment and appointments did not establish energy savings or project-sales revenue. Partner-sourced participants remained a subset of total enrollment.
Which activity helped completed program enrollments, and what happened at the next decision?
What we did
The priority was completed program enrollments. The team used eligible-inquiry-to-enrollment conversion and marketing cost per enrollment to assess the next stages, with a clear distinction between activity and accepted outcomes.
We separated audience propositions, defined the completed action for each offer and aligned partner handoffs with those measures.
The team compared completed program enrollments, eligible-inquiry-to-enrollment conversion, marketing cost per enrollment across the agreed reporting periods. Program enrollment and appointments did not establish energy savings or project-sales revenue. Partner-sourced participants remained a subset of total enrollment.
Completed program enrollments moved from 200 to 320. Eligible-inquiry-to-enrollment conversion moved from 25% to 32%. Marketing cost per enrollment moved from $100 to $75.
Program enrollment and appointments did not establish energy savings or project-sales revenue. Partner-sourced participants remained a subset of total enrollment.
We calculated relative changes from the baseline and comparison values and reported conversion or retention changes in percentage points. We rounded displayed changes to one decimal place where needed. The figures did not establish that marketing caused the outcome.
Measurement window: Two comparable 12-week customer program campaigns.
