Inside Industrial

Part of BP, Castrol Industrial is a global enterprise that makes the lubricants that literally oil the wheels of industry. Its products are used across the world in a diverse range of sectors including car manufacturing, food production, and wind energy.

Bray Leino’s ‘Inside’ campaign for Castrol Industrial demonstrates that B2B marketing in an industrial setting can be exciting and innovative; that robust engineering facts can be compelling and visually stimulating; and none of it has to be presented in a dry, dusty way. The ‘Inside’ idea not only integrates media and communications, but glues together all of Castrol Industrial’s vast number of sectors, products and services to unify the business and simplify it for their customers.
