Clean energy and climate tech aren’t markets you can learn on the fly. Policy shifts, technical nuance, and complex stakeholder landscapes shape what resonates and what falls flat. But this is our sweet spot. DG+ builds cleantech marketing strategies rooted in sector fluency, so your positioning, messaging, and go-to-market plans reflect the reality you’re operating in.

We support teams from early-stage growth through scale by turning targeted, data-driven insight into a structured roadmap. We analyze competitors, audience behavior, and the policy landscape, then set clear priorities: build the right foundations, earn credibility, and scale with confidence. Whether you’re launching a product, entering a new market, or tightening your story, we help you prioritize what matters now (and what can wait), so marketing moves the business forward instead of becoming a pile of disconnected tactics.

Best of all, because we work in clean energy, climate tech, and sustainability every day, we’re able to move quickly without starting from zero. The result is strategy that’s specific to your market, aligned with your mission and growth stage, and built to drive measurable results.

Core capabilities include:

  • Market research and competitor benchmarking
  • Audience analysis and segmentation
  • Key messaging and value proposition development
  • Channel and campaign strategy
  • KPI development and campaign reporting, analysis, and optimization
  • Go-to-market planning for new products, audiences, or initiatives

Why invest in marketing strategy?

Set direction before you scale execution.

A clear, data-informed strategy connects every campaign, content asset, website update, and ad dollar to priorities you can measure — and improve over time.

Reach the right people with messaging that fits the market.

We help you identify your most valuable audiences and craft messages that resonate with their priorities, challenges, and motivations. Because we work in clean energy and climate every day, we know how to speak to the stakeholders that move markets — from developers and EPCs to utilities, sustainability leaders, financiers and investors, and end users.

Align your internal team and external partners.

A shared strategy gives internal stakeholders and external collaborators a common roadmap so decisions are faster, work is more consistent, and execution doesn’t splinter into disconnected efforts.

Stay adaptable (and ahead of competitors) as the landscape shifts.

Clean energy and climate markets change quickly. With a structured plan in place, you can respond to campaign results, competitive moves, policy changes, and new opportunities without rewriting everything from scratch.

An integrated, fun team

Flexible engagement options

We offer project-based, ongoing, and prepaid scope of work options that can be customized to suit your needs and budget.

Solar is a complex industry, and for outsiders, it takes months, sometimes years of training before they start to understand its nuances. Since DG+ doesn't have to spend time learning all the complexities of your product, they can hit the ground running supporting your unique value propositions.

DG+ has been instrumental to our growth at RST CleanTech. Our disruptive technology requires that we not only find the right customers but also properly educate those customers. DG+ provided excellent content from the start and continues to refine and improve our message and get it in front of the right customers. I would strongly recommend DG+.
