The devastating comments coming from such an eminently qualified expert appear to deliver a hammer blow to Mr Brindeds ambitions of succeeding Jeroen van der Veer as CEO of Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
Shell and its Advertising Agency need to think again…
The decision of the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) to castigate Shell (again!) for it’s misleading corporate advertising is further evidence that Shell is utterly slipshod in its monitoring of copy and creative proposals from its advertising agency. Having managed Advertising Agencies for Shell in various locations around the world over the years I know that the client MUST ensure that the copy is legal, decent honest and truthful – you cannot leave that to the Agency. This is not to criticise agencies, but to clearly define what is their role – and what is the client’s.
U.S. Courts: Shell in deepwater, accused of more IP theft (revised article)
By John Donovan
13 August 2008
Trawling the Internet seeking information about Court cases involving Shell, we stumbled across details of current litigation in the U.S. Courts against Shell International for alleged theft of Intellectual Property.
I personally know of several High Court Actions successfully brought against Shell on the same grounds, all by me. All resulted in media coverage.
Is Shell not concerned that it must be losing out from parties no longer willing to disclose ideas to the group because of its reputation as a serial poacher and predator of Intellectual Property?

Shell ad banned over ‘greenwashing’ claims
LONDON – The advertising watchdog today slammed an ad by Shell International, saying it made misleading claims over the company’s investment in green technology.
The print ad appeared in the Financial Times in February, with the headline “We invest today’s profits in tomorrow’s solutions”.
The ASA upheld two complaints by WWF that the ad cited two examples of investment which were not environmentally sustainable.
Commenting on the ruling, David Norman, director of campaigns at WWF-UK, said: “The ASA’s decision to uphold WWF’s complaint sends a strong signal to business and industry that greenwash is unacceptable,”
Complaint upheld over Shell advert: more Shell deceit

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
