Energy & Power, Marketing & Creative, Public Relations
Challenge

Catalyze, an independent power producer (IPP) accelerating the transition to renewable energy infrastructure by creating new profit opportunities for commercial and industrial real estate owners, emerged from stealth mode by launching a proprietary technology platform to expand growth through M&A. Backed by EnCap Investments and Yorktown Partners, Catalyze subsequently began a period of acquisition activity to leverage in the marketplace.

Objectives

Following an initial public relations campaign in September 2020, Catalyze was positioned to gain significant share of voice as a thought leader in the C&I energy space while the company began its M&A push and coalesced its partner network.

Solution

Pierpont focused on growing Catalyze’s visibility and awareness in the industry to positively influence success by impacting perception and reputation, deal flow, talent attraction and more.

Working closely with Catalyze, Pierpont refined the company’s messaging and developed a proactive media strategy to announce a series of project and company acquisitions, cementing its rapidly growing portfolio as a force with which to reckon. Pierpont leveraged company news and strategic media placements to establish the company as a thought leader in the energy C&I space.

Results

Pierpont drafted, edited and distributed a series of press releases and media outreach, securing Catalyze 119 million impressions through 27 pieces of coverage over six months in top-tier energy trade sources, local media in Texas, Colorado, New York and California, and key financial outlets.
