By Karl Greenberg

Royal Dutch Shell has launched a European and Asian ad push, “Get the most out of every drop,” via JWT London. The campaign, which uses a watercolor-like creative approach wherein moving images of cars seem to arise from paintings, are meant to tout Shell’s V-Power products. The campaign uses regionally customized broadcast spots that were created by N.Y.-based Stardust with JWT London.

Within each country, the campaign has a set of regional broadcast spots that start with a drop of fuel falling onto a piece of paper, through which one sees a range of vehicles driving down different streets. The ads also drive consumers to www.shell.com/everydrop. The first of a juggernaut of 11 such ads started in targeted countries this spring, with the latest raft of six TV spots launching this week. read more

(Fortune Magazine) — Royal Dutch Shell this year has toppled Exxon Mobil from the top of the list of Fortune Global 500 companies, just as the Dutch oil company gets a new CEO. Peter Voser, 50, is a Swiss finance expert and Shell veteran who left the company in 2002 to help turn around the Swiss engineering firm ABB, and then came roaring back two years later.

Even before he took the helm on July 1, Voser signaled that Shell was in for some internal upheaval under his leadership. In late May he fired off a companywide memo complaining that costs were too high, the organization was too complex, and its culture “too consensus-oriented.” read more

Back to petroleum

After the plunge in oil and gas prices, this year's profits will be much lower than last year's record $25.6bn, but a cost-cutting drive, taking more than 5,000 jobs out of the business, has left BP better positioned than Shell to cope with lower revenues.
