Building Regional Awareness Through Broadcast Media
Aquaria

Challenge

Aquaria set out to introduce its atmospheric water generation (AWG) technology to homeowners — a new concept in residential infrastructure. In drought-prone Central Texas, the company needed to build awareness and trust by positioning AWG as a practical part of a resilient, self-sufficient, and modern home.

Solution

Sun PR led a targeted broadcast outreach campaign across Central Texas, tying Aquaria’s technology to issues Texans experience every day: limited water supply, rising utility costs, and the desire for reliable, low-maintenance solutions. Localized story angles secured three feature segments on ABC, NBC, and FOX affiliates, translating the technology into relatable, real-world impact for homeowners.

Sun PR’s regional media strategy helped position Aquaria’s AWG system as part of a self-sufficient, climate-resilient home. Each segment grounded the innovation in homeowner experiences, sparking interest and trust among audiences navigating ongoing drought restrictions and infrastructure limits.

KSAT (ABC – San Antonio) profiled homeowner Brian Schewe, who replaced a costly well project with an Aquaria Hydropack system, highlighting accessibility and practical benefits for off-grid and solar-powered homes.

KXAN (NBC – Austin) explained the science behind Aquaria’s technology, featuring co-founders Brian and Eric Sheng on how their systems condense humidity into clean water and how the approach parallels the adoption curve of rooftop solar.

FOX 7 (Austin) featured COO Eric Sheng discussing Aquaria’s role in addressing Texas’ long-term water supply challenges and complementing state-level efforts to expand water resilience.

The campaign reached thousands of viewers and ~2.37 million web visitors across Central Texas, driving a measurable uptick in web traffic and homeowner product inquiries. The features also helped Aquaria build visibility as a Texas-based company contributing to local water security and infrastructure discussions.

Sun PR helped us tell our story in a way that really landed with homeowners in Central Texas. Their team understood how to make the technology feel relevant and relatable, and the coverage they secured helped us build recognition and interest among our target audiences.
