During the campaign npower...

  • Over 10,000 new and existing customers switched through npower's promotion where a £1 donation per customer quote supplied and an additional £4 for each customer who switched.
  • Secured £656,000 worth of advertising coverage and 215 pieces of press coverage reaching an audience over 65 million.
  • The Comic Relief and npower Book of Light full of light bulb jokes was the fastest selling Joke Book on Amazon.co.uk.
  • Encouraged their staff to raise over £24,000 for Comic Relief

"npower is delighted to have worked with Comic Relief on a serious campaign to raise money - whilst highlighting energy efficiency, in a fun and light hearted way! Working with Lenny Henry, we launched a search for the UK's favourite light bulb joke. The top 100 were then published in a joke book - which went on to be a bestseller on Amazon.

Our campaign was great for our brand, motivated and excited our staff - and raised over half a million pounds for Comic Relief."
