Proven Results

A selection of campaigns where my copy drove measurable lifts in conversion, engagement, and production efficiency across NRG Energy's brand portfolio.

Brands I Wrote For

NRG Energy owns a portfolio of retail energy and home services brands, each with its own voice and customer base.

  • Reliant Energy: Texas-based retail electricity provider, serving both residential and small business (SMB) customers. Messaging leans price-sensitive and value-driven.
  • Direct Energy: Serves Texas and the East Coast. Balances reliability and value across two regional markets.
  • Green Mountain Energy: Renewable energy brand. Messaging centers on sustainability and environmental impact.
  • Discount Power: Value-tier energy brand. Direct, no-frills messaging built around savings.
  • Cirro Energy: Texas-based provider built around simplicity and reassurance, with a satisfaction guarantee and home services cross-sold in.
  • Xoom Energy: Messaging emphasizes reach, choice, and easy rate comparison.
  • Stream Energy: Sold through independent associates and referrals. Messaging centers on trust and dependability over rate comparison.

Case studies below span different customer segments within the same brand, from residential cross-sell (Vivint × Reliant) to small business lifecycle communications (Reliant SMB), noted where relevant.

Case Study 1 · Reliant × Vivint

Vivint Home Essentials (VHE) Offer Test

ChallengeReliant needed a stronger offer to lift enrollment in Vivint Home Essentials, Vivint's smart home product cross-sold to Reliant's energy customers, across email, bill insert, and third-page channels.

Control

"Smarter energy. Smarter home. One seamless experience."

CVR: 1.14%

Test

"Get FREE smart home devices and a $40 annual bill credit."

CVR: 1.24% (+9%)

ApproachI rewrote the lead to move from a generic value pitch to a specific, quantified incentive, putting the dollar amount front and center in the headline and CTA.

ResultThe test beat control on conversion rate.

+9% higher CVR than control (1.14% → 1.24%)

Case Study 2 · Reliant SMB

Paperless Billing Adoption Email

ChallengeReliant needed to grow paperless billing adoption among small business (SMB) customers, from 20% to 30% by year-end, while reducing print costs.

ApproachI wrote a one-time email targeted at SMB customers, leading with a clear, benefit-driven headline and three simple reasons to switch: convenience, organization, and sustainability.

ResultThe email outperformed SMB benchmarks and delivered a strong lift in adoption compared to year-to-date results.

44.5% open rate · 2.9% click-to-open rate · +6.5% paperless enrollments vs. YTD

About me

Hi, I'm Brenda!

I was a Digital Marketing Analyst at NRG Energy, where I designed landing pages and wrote for Direct Energy and Reliant Energy, supporting the marketing, communications, and promotional efforts of those brands.

I worked for that U.S.-based, global company while living abroad, and have since relocated to Sofia, Bulgaria, where I now live and continue to work remotely. I enjoy collaborating across teams, including UX/UI designers, and I'm comfortable working asynchronously across different time zones to keep projects moving. Tools like Slack, Teams, and Zoom are part of my daily workflow. I work well independently, and I make sure my communication is clear so the point always comes across.

Outside of work, I love walking around my new city every morning and I'm passionate about languages.
