Influenced thinking

The challenge was not only to develop global understanding across 5 different industrial sectors, but to embed the insight into the business and shift Shell’s thinking about its B2B audience from a supplier relationship to a partnership model.

Deep exploration

Film, photography and ethnographic depth interviews were combined to explore over 50 businesses from the ground up, engaging with senior management and operational staff. A segmentation was developed based on the deep-rooted drivers and organisational culture that underpin its strategic priorities.

Insights with impact

The findings were presented to 40 senior stakeholders from all around the world in a full day workshop, launching a programme of marketing and sales activity which is reshaping how Shell engages with its customers.
