Offering consumers ways to save money by better using the tech installed in their appliances, the campaign gives information about how tech helps save money as well as minimising environmental effects, such as reducing water usage and emissions.

It also provides advice on how to obtain effective repairs and spares while also offering tips on buying more efficient appliances.

The campaign has also included highly attended public affairs events and helpful materials for the retail trade.

The judges of the Association of Excellence Awards highlighted the campaign’s “comprehensive approach, innovative content, adaptability, impressive reach and engagement” across multiple stakeholders.

Commenting on the bronze award, they said: “The campaign’s strength lies in its evidence-based strategy, adaptability to changing consumer needs, and effective policy influence…

“Its multi-faceted approach and measurable impact underscore its effectiveness in advancing the cause of sustainable appliance use.”

CEO of AMDEA Paul Hide added: “Know Watt’s What is the archetype of a well-designed campaign.

“It tackles a great issue of our age – sustainability – but in a way which is both truly helpful to appliance users and highly relevant for policy makers and retailers.

“By using imagination, accurate targeting and good execution, it has made its mark and is helping to shift the dial for consumers.”
