Entergy Corporation
Entergy Corporation delivers electricity and gas services to 2.9 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
entergy’s problems:
Entergy is 10 years behind the technology curve. 66% of site visits come from mobile devices, but mobile app investments were only begun in 2019
Trust is broken. Poor user experience and bad digital integration raises data security concerns with customers, exacerbating an already tenuous relationship
Customers are becoming self-reliant by creating their own renewable energy systems, simply to get away from Entergy
Communications are chaotic, fragmented and expensive as Entergy operates as five different OpCos, each with their own protocols and idea of brand guidelines
Goals:
Prepare for digital-savvy millennials and future generations
Increase NPS score from 7.4 to 28 in three years
Reduce customer energy usage by 1.75%
Get more customers to go PaperFREE, reduce call center volume
Solutions need to be:
Digital & data-driven
Intuitive & intelligent
Transparent & empathetic
Consistent, a guiding light through the chaos of communications
To simplify and help tackle these goals, one key insight emerged:
Customers want to be empowered and feel good about the brands they interact with every day.
Introducing Ami, the world’s first digital energy assistant.
Ami is more than just Entergy’s representative, she’s the customer’s advocate.
Ami’s main goal is to help Entergy customers reach their energy goals — whether it’s by introducing new products and services or by offering tips on how to better manage their energy usage.
To Ami, you’re more than just an account number. You’re an entrepreneur, a new homeowner, or a family of two with one on the way. Ami doesn’t just help you power life, she helps empower you every day.
Overview:
Ami was first introduced to Entergy customers during the advanced meter infrastructure (AMI) rollout, where she guided customers through the installation process and informed them about the great new benefits coming their way.
In 2020 and beyond, Ami is integrating into all aspects of Entergy’s business, continuing to tell customers about the latest Entergy news.
Ami is:
Predictive so customers can be proactive and make smarter choices
Conversational so customers can clearly understand and easily navigate their world
Motivational so customers can stay on track, feel championed and live their best lives
Digital so customers can have a two-way conversation and feel heard
Brand Colors:
Ami’s brand colors draw from Entergy’s colors but revitalize them to be simple yet eye-catching.
Illustration style:
Illustrations build on Entergy’s existing illustration style, utilizing Ami’s brand colors to add depth and to visually differentiate from regular Entergy communications. This along with Ami’s friendly tone of voice allows customers to easily recognize where communications are coming from.
Voice & Tone:
Amy is friendly and casual — never overly chummy, unprofessional or annoying. Her tone is lighthearted, no matter the situation. When Ami needs to get down to business, she does so with a delicate touch, directing customers to tools and resources to help, rather than suffocating them in small talk and frivolities.
So, how does that look? Ami, brought to life.
