Radley Yeldar has redesigned Shell’s website, which will act as a hub for all corporate and consumer activity.
Radley Yeldar digital director Richard Coope says this extended to 74 different websites, in the region of 68 social networks and accounts and 18 mobile apps. In total they found were 27,000 pages of content.
His team has worked with the Shell brand and visual identity teams to make Shell’s branding “more in tune with a digital environment”. It is, he says, “the most rigorously policed and well understood brand in the world.”

We have more than 27,000 webpages relating to Shell on this single website.
How could anyone look at this website and seriously claim Shell rigorously polices its brand? That is a delusion. Look around.
This year will mark our tenth anniversary since Shell attempted to seize the royaldutchshellplc.com domain name, but in utter humiliation, lost the case and decided against even trying to appeal the unanimous verdict rejecting their claim.
Six Royal Dutch Shell companies collectively sued a Shell employee, Production Geologist, Dr John Huong, for defamation over damaging information about Shell published here. They threatened to have him imprisoned for contempt of court after he continued to supply information we published.

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.
