Offshore wind. Hydrogen. Battery storage. Grid services. EV charging.
Long capital cycles. Long-game marketing.
The UK energy transition is a fifteen-year capital programme. Your buyers are framework managers, tier 1 BD leads and end-client procurement officers. They don’t buy on impulse. They buy on credibility, capability and proof.
Energy transition is happening. Most of the UK supply chain is invisible.
The numbers are public. £40bn+ committed to grid reinforcement. £100bn+ flowing through offshore wind. Hydrogen, battery storage and EV charging programmes layered on top. Tier 1 contractors are scouting capability now.
And the UK-headquartered tier 2/3 manufacturers who could be winning this work are largely absent from the digital channels where decisions are made. The visibility is dominated by multinational subsidiaries with global SEO budgets. That’s a marketing gap. Not a capability gap.
How we market for the energy transition.
01
Framework-fluent content
ASTI, RIIO-ED2, Beyond 2030, AMP8, Contracts for Difference. Every procurement officer knows the framework landscape. Content that names the frameworks and proves framework-relevant capability is content that resonates.
02
Pre-qualification grade proof
Lead times. Capacity. Accreditations. Manufacturing locations. Sustainability credentials. The exact proof points that PQQ panels score. We surface them, structure them and make them findable.
03
Tier 1 facing marketing
The work is rarely won by selling direct to National Grid or SSE. It’s won by being chosen by the tier 1s who hold the frameworks. Tier 1-facing content matters more than end-client content. We build it.
04
Long-cycle nurture
Capital programmes run for ten years. Marketing has to stay visible across that timeline. LinkedIn presence among framework managers. Quarterly thought leadership. Account-based campaigns into the tier 1 supply chains.
£40bn of capital. Most of the supply chain still invisible.
