Disrupting Battery Safety with Strategic China Media Launch
Introduction
Vocai, an Israeli pioneer in battery safety and analytics, had just inked a major supply agreement with Korean battery pack giant Nanointech. Their ED-10A molecular-level gas sensing technology was being integrated into battery packs for electric buses, LSEVs, and energy storage systems (BESS).
The challenge? Announce this high-tech collaboration to the China market﹣where regulatory pressures around NEV and storage safety are rising rapidly﹣through an efficient, high-impact PR campaign. The goal was to position Vocai’s gas-sensing breakthrough as a differentiated, China-relevant solution.
Strategy
Brandigo China designed and executed a targeted PR campaign to launch the Vocai × Nanointech partnership to priority Chinese tech, auto, and energy media. The focus was to:
• Highlight real-world applications (e-bus, LSEV, BESS)
• Localize key messages around fire prevention, regulatory compliance, and battery lifecycle ROI
• Secure top-tier media with strong reputations in energy and mobility verticals
Deliverables included:
• Bilingual press release (English + Simplified Chinese)
• Coordinated embargoed launch with top trade journalists
• Prioritized Tier 1 and energy-focused outlets
“We hired Brandigo’s services for a PR project in China. They were fast to respond, attentive to learn about our company and the value we deliver to our customers, as well as delivered a well stitched outcome with excellent results.”
