Launch Campaign

Challenge

Launch Soma Energy from stealth while introducing a new category of energy intelligence for the AI era. The campaign needed to educate the market that AI's greatest infrastructure constraint wasn't compute, it was power, while positioning Soma and its founders as pioneers helping data centers and power producers unlock existing grid capacity through AI.

‍

Approach

Developed the company's positioning, messaging, and category narrative around AI-driven energy orchestration
Built the launch strategy around an exclusive with Axios, followed by a coordinated media campaign
Positioned the founders' experience building AWS's renewable energy program as a key market differentiator
Conducted targeted outreach to venture capital, technology, enterprise, energy, climate, and data center reporters
Developed executive thought leadership and launch content across earned, owned, and social channels
Created a long-term communications platform designed to establish Soma as a category leader beyond its funding announcement

The results

Soma's launch introduced energy orchestration as a critical new layer of AI infrastructure. Most startup launches focus on the amount of capital raised. Soma's launch focused on a much larger market shift. By framing AI's future as an energy orchestration challenge rather than simply a compute challenge, CodePR helped introduce Soma Energy as one of the companies defining how the next generation of AI infrastructure will access, optimize, and scale power.
