The Challenge

In 2006, fuelled by its expansion into the large Asian market, Chemoil moved its corporate headquarters from San Francisco to Singapore and at the same time sought a listing on the Singapore stock exchange. In light of these objectives and its long-term need to communicate the nature and value of its complex business to investors, it was critical that Chemoil review its corporate brand.

The Insight

DIA helped build a consensus amongst the management and the founder to adopt a bold new brand positioning, corporate mark and identity system. The new brand positioning was captured in a distinctive strapline ‘Delivering Energy’ that communicates both the dynamism of the company and the evolving nature of its business as a diversified energy company. This was supported by a strong suite of public listing campaign materials that was developed to provide all-round communications to support the investor road show.

The Impact

The result was a successful public listing and a revitalised brand that helped the company grow as a global player in marine, aviation and transportation fuels.

In 2010, Glencore became majority owner of Chemoil, followed by a full take-over in 2014. At its core, Chemoil continues to deliver energy and exceptional value to its customers as it expands its presence in all major global markets.
