In a world in which Marketing Week can publish its ten nominations for Brand of the Year and be content that not one of them is B2B, it can feel pretty lonely and unloved in the business marketing profession. So it’s time to give a shout out for some of the great work that B2B marketers are doing.

I thought I’d share a few examples and why I like them over the next few posts. 

Next up: Acciona. Acciona is a Spanish conglomerate focusing on investment in renewable energy. They have been running amazing #InvestInThePlanet campaign over the last twelve months. Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2KigmRHlvg for an example.

I think this is a powerful piece of creative for the way that it breaks through the glass walls between business and the realities of sustainability. The impact of business is shown on screens in the stock exchange and the boardroom and the office making the connection between business and the planet clear. The disconnect is underlined by the musical choice. And there’s a strong call to action which is followed up in other films in the campaign which you can see on the Acciona You Tube page.

The same juxtaposition between the office and the environment is played strongly on the home page of the Acciona website.

The Acciona videos have been viewed more than 1.5 million times across the business’s five key markets.
