The challenge

Solarwise has installed solar across Queensland since 1979, making it the state's first and oldest solar company. The market is now crowded with newer operators, some only a couple of years old, that promise warranties longer than they have been in business. Solarwise needed a new website and a campaign that put its heritage and credibility front and centre, then turned that trust into enquiries.

Our approach

Launched a new conversion-led website at solarwise.com.au
Built a creative system that leads with Est. 1979 Queensland heritage, CEC approval and a 4.9 star reputation
Ran a Meta campaign across square, leaderboard, rectangle and half-page formats
Themed the creative around real customer questions, from battery savings to heated pools
Layered re-marketing, display and video so the message followed in-market buyers

Results

The creative

The campaign leans on what only Solarwise can say. Every ad carries the Est. 1979 Queensland badge, CEC approval, 200,000 plus customers and a 4.9 star rating, a clear contrast to newer operators promising decades of warranty after only a couple of years in business. The system flexes across formats and themes while holding one consistent, credible look.
