Shell - Performance - (2009) :30 (UK)

Over the past eight weeks, a multifaceted integrated campaign for Shell from JWT London named "Get the most out of every drop," has launched within many countries in Europe and Asia, aimed at demonstrating the benefits of Shell's new Fuel Save products. Key to campaign efforts within each country are a set of artistic, regionally customized broadcast spots created by Stardust's New York studio in concert with JWT London's creative team.

"With the benefit of hindsight I don't believe we could have selected a better production company with which to realise our vision of Shells 'make the most of every drop' campaign," says Jaspar Shelbourne, JWT London's global creative director.
"Stardust are a hugely professional outfit who can draw on an amazing breadth of in house talent. I enjoyed every minute of collaborating with them and look forward to working with them again."

To date, Stardust has delivered five "Fuel Economy" and six "Performance" versions of each commercial, all of which were directed by Stardust's New York-based creative director Alan Bibby, who provides extensive details on his colleagues' craftsmanship in bringing the campaign's broadcast elements to life in our story below.
