Enhancing Brand Perception Amid Environmental Concerns
The Challenge: Shell Oil faced declining public perception due to increasing scrutiny over environmental practices. With shifting consumer priorities towards sustainability, Shell needed to better understand how to align its marketing strategies with these values while retaining its traditional customer base.
The Approach: Ascero Research conducted a multi-phase study that included focus groups, online surveys, and social media sentiment analysis. We explored consumer attitudes towards energy providers, perceptions of Shell’s sustainability initiatives, and key drivers of trust in the energy sector.
Key Findings: The research revealed that 68% of respondents prioritized transparency about environmental efforts, while 55% expressed interest in supporting companies that invest in renewable energy. Focus groups highlighted a disconnect between Shell’s existing messaging and consumer expectations, with many participants unaware of the company’s sustainability initiatives. Social media analysis confirmed this gap, identifying a significant opportunity for Shell to proactively share its efforts to transition to cleaner energy.
Outcome: Shell leveraged these insights to revamp its marketing strategy, emphasizing transparency and its commitment to renewable energy investments. The new campaign achieved a 25% improvement in brand perception within six months, showcasing the power of actionable insights to drive meaningful results.
