Coordinated PR Garners 17% Increase in Competitive Share of Voice within Six Months

The Results

In 2016, after a lengthy search, d.light secured Technica Communications to bring coordination and strategy to its previously unmanaged PR program. Technica worked with d.light to organize and back up its messages with real-life user stories, and capitalize on the growing media attention the off-grid solar market was gaining.

Continuous top tier coverage: Entrepreneur, Fortune, Financial Times Tech-Crunch, Business Insider, Al Jazeera, CNBC Africa, etc.

Secured 27.5% Share of Voice within media coverage compared with top five competitors and an increase of 17% in media Share of Voice comparison

4 Prestigious Awards to include Fast Company 2016 Innovation by Design Awards, 2015-16 Global LEAP Award, Core77 Consumer Product Award, Business Insider 100-The Creators and Silver Stevie Winner 2016

Four broadcast interviews delivered strong message to World Economic Forum (CNBC Africa, Deutsche Welle News, Astro Awani TV, Dubai TV)

I really appreciate all the effort Technica has put in to elevate our company in the media. After a few years without coordinated media outreach, d.light’s public prominence has risen considerably over the last year and we are grateful for all their hard work!
