Premium electric vehicle home-charger brand, Andersen choose Performance

Performance Communications | مارس 8, 2020

Less than a year after launching its new Technology division, Performance Communications announces its latest client win, having been appointed by Andersen, a British manufacturer and installer of high-end electric vehicle charge points.

Addressing the booming electric vehicle market, Andersen is the leading style-conscious home charger on the market for those who don’t just want a ‘box for the wall’. It has quickly emerged as one of the UK’s hottest scale-ups having experienced explosive growth since launch in 2015, and recently it became a recommended provider for Porsche of Great Britain.

Performance Communications has been leading the conversation around electric vehicles for ten years, when it launched the world’s first electric vehicle, the Nissan LEAF. Since then, the agency has played its part in creating the first glow-in-the-dark car to promote solar panel charging (link here), closed off streets in Monaco to race the Nissan Bladeglider with Margot Robbie in the driving seat (link here) and supported Citroën in bringing its vision of future mobility to life at a media showcase for the Ami One and 19_19 concept vehicles (link here).

The agency’s new Technology division is proving an attractive proposition for disruptive technology brands looking to cut through the noise in their respective sectors. This news follows the recent announcements that Performance Communications has been appointed to handle the integrated Marketing and Communications function for autonomous vehicle software leader Oxbotica and electric commercial vehicle technology supplier, Tevva Motors Ltd.

Mod revival: Is customisation due a comeback?

Car modification: once upon a time, it was a petrolhead’s rite of passage. If you’ve ever fitted aftermarket alloys to a Vauxhall Astra, or swapped the speaker system in a Citroën Saxo, you’ll know what we’re getting at. Today’s modified car scene is far from dead and buried, but we’re a long way from the […]

Cars and Coffee is Keeping UK Car Culture Caffeinated

At one point, in the not-so-distant past, car culture in the UK was crying out for something new. The options for car enthusiasts looking to meet up and share their passion were limited to dodgy late-night supermarket car parks with a live soundtrack of rev limiters and handbrake hooplas, or ultra-posh concours events where you’d […]

The Clock is Ticking For Internal Combustion, But Rolex Shows That Old Tech Can Still Prosper

Cars and watches. Watches and cars. If you’re speaking to a car enthusiast, I’d wager there’s a very good chance they’ll also appreciate the merits of a mechanical watch. Listening to the brilliant Acquired podcast charting the history of Rolex, got me thinking. At various points, the excellent hosts Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, liken […]

Formula 1 can’t rely on off-track drama to maintain its stellar rise

When Liberty Media bought F1 in 2017, it promised to grow the sport, enhance the racing experience and add new dimensions. So how has it gone? Well, the 24-race calendar last year was a record, as was the 6.5m live attendees at these races. Drive To Survive, the sport’s behind-the-scenes Netflix docuseries, has become a […]

Should You Still Use Hashtags on Social Media?

This question comes up a lot when discussing social media strategy: Should we include hashtags? The Origins of Hashtags Hashtags were originally designed to group conversations on social platforms, making it easier for people to follow specific topics. If you were into motorcycles, searching for #Motorcycles would bring up relevant discussions. They were a simple […]

MOTD Vs Changing viewing habits

I used to be a Match of the Day devotee, but the appeal is unfortunately waning. Yes, Sunderland AFC have been absent for 7 (seven) seasons, but I can’t remember the last time I tuned in for a full episode and with viewing figures down year-on-year (just 2.7 million earlier in January), this national institution […]

Introducing the antidote for AI generated copy: the smart typewriter

There’s a new piece of kit in the Performance Communications office: a Freewrite smart typewriter. It’s a pretty simple piece of technology: a chunky keyboard bundled with an LCD screen and storage. It doesn’t have a spellchecker, a web browser, or a scrollbar. If you’re old enough to remember, it’s reminiscent of early pre-PC word […]

What DeepSeek tells us about China and innovation

In January, China’s DeepSeek caused market pandemonium when it revealed its open-source AI model could match the performance of western AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Meta. Why? Because it reportedly did so with 10-20x less energy and hardware requirements. Many people were shocked because, unlike the OpenAIs of this world, DeepSeek was a small […]
