A new ad campaign
In the 1970s, Hydro-Québec adopted a customer focus and launched a TV commercial with the slogan
“On est 12 012 pour assurer votre confort” (“We are 12,012 working for your comfort”) to show that
the customer was central to the utility’s operations. This commercial was a change in direction,
since previous campaigns had focused on the advantages of electricity and on the technological
advances made by Hydro-Québec.
The following year, the company provided all customers on the Island of Montréal with a single telephone number to call—another example of a forward-looking concern for improving the customer experience.
