NZ Power Company Pokes Fun At Donald Trump

NZ Power Company Pokes Fun At Donald Trump

Online power company launches short video featuring toddlers quoting Donald Trump to promote the message of using power for good

May 12, 2016: New Zealand online electricity retailer Powershop has created a contentious viral video of toddlers quoting Donald Trump, housed on Powershop NZ’sFacebook page to highlight the brand’s message that power should be used for good, not bad.

The short video mocks the controversial American Businessman and presumptive nominee of the Republican Party for President of the United States, with six toddlers dressed in orange-tinged wigs reminiscent of Trump’s own head of hair, which has made headlines of its own over the years.

Powershop CEO Ari Sargent commented: “At Powershop we like to put the power back into customers hands (pun intended) to help them make wise decisions about their energy usage and cost. This is a stark contrast to Mr Trump, who likes to abuse his power and influence to promote his prehistoric views about minority groups of society. Our video parodies Mr Trump by projecting his own words through the mouths of loveable toddlers to highlight how infantile he is.”

Powershop launched in Wellington, New Zealand in 2009 after identifying that power retailers weren’t delivering great customer experiences. The company created a shopping experience for electricity that was easy and fun and provided the tools people needed to better understand power usage and costs.

Powershop has achieved rapid growth, expanding into the Australian and UK markets since its inception. While most people don’t like their power company, Powershop has managed to get its customers to love the brand, with consistent customer satisfaction levels of 90%+ each year.
