Insight-led strategy for the energy transition.

In the energy transition, the context is the strategy. Policy, incentives, and stakeholder dynamics shape markets, timelines, and what your audiences need to hear. DG+ brings deep clean energy fluency and targeted research to clarify what’s changing, what it means, and how to respond. Those insights don’t live in a separate report — they inform the positioning, messaging, and campaigns we create across your marketing and communications.

Our work spans policy analysis, stakeholder research, audience segmentation, and competitive/category framing. We synthesize complex, fast-moving inputs into clear direction your team can use: what to lead with, what to prove, who to prioritize, and where the opportunity is emerging.

As a boutique clean energy marketing, creative, and communications agency built for the renewable industry, we support both established industry leaders and are a growth marketing agency for startups. Whether you’re a developer entering a new market, a utility engaging communities, or a consultancy looking for specialized support, we bring perspective and precision grounded in the realities of the sector.

We work with stakeholders across wind, solar, energy storage, building electrification, and electric vehicle markets:

  • Renewable energy project developers and financiers
  • Major utilities, government agencies, and municipalities
  • Market research and consulting firms seeking niche expertise

Promise Energy

The DG+ team is truly fantastic. When I walked through the new homepage of our website for the first time, I was absolutely blown away. I gave very little direction and not a ton of material to work with, and yet they turned it into something special. It feels like they created magic from almost nothing. I’m grateful for their whole team and I can't wait for our broker partners to see it!
