Project Overview
OLEO is a brand specialized in automotive engine oils, offering a range of products designed to suit different viscosities and operating needs, such as:
- SAE 10W-30

- SAE 5W-30
- API SL & API SP
The goal was to design a Social Media Campaign that reflects:
- Engine Protection
- Reliable Performance
- Driving Confidence
- Technical Expertise
- Modern Automotive Identity
The campaign was developed to present OLEO products in a powerful and easy-to-understand way, while transforming technical information about motor oils into marketing messages relevant to the daily situations experienced by motorists.
The Challenge
The main challenge was to promote a technical product within a highly competitive market, and to transform engine oil from a product that the public might see as similar between different brands to a choice directly linked to vehicle performance and engine safety.
It was necessary to design a campaign:
Explains the importance of choosing the right oil without complications.
It quickly attracts the attention of car owners.
OLEO packaging stands out as the main item.
Combines awareness and promotional content.
It maintains a strong character that suits the automotive sector.
Present each product clearly without losing the unity of the campaign.
The sign is associated with the concepts of strength, stability and protection.
Suitable for organic content and sponsored ads.
The challenge was also to create visual diversity between the posts, while maintaining a consistent, instantly recognizable personality.
Campaign Strategy
Campaign Personality
- Powerful
- Reliable
- Technical
- Bold
- Dynamic
- Confident
- Performance-Oriented
The campaign is built on a visual character that reflects the power of the engine and the movement of the road, presenting OLEO as a brand that understands the needs of the car and gives the driver greater confidence on every journey.
Communication Tone
Direct and powerful.
Close to everyday driver language.
Technical without using complicated terminology.
My warning when talking about engine issues.
Motivating when presenting the benefits of the product.
It relies on short, quick-to-remember phrases.
It links the product to the driving experience, not just maintenance.
A communication method was used that makes the audience feel that choosing engine oil is a fundamental decision that affects performance from the moment the car is started.
The Big Idea
The main idea of the campaign is based on the concept:
- Power Starts with the Right Choice
Or:
- Power starts with choosing the right oil
Each design links OLEO to a real moment or situation facing the driver, such as:
start the car.
Hearing an abnormal sound from the engine.
Long distance driving.
Moving between the desert and the city.
Search for consistent performance.
Desire to preserve the engine.
Choose the appropriate oil for each type of operation.
This concept appeared through messages such as:
Start right with OLEO.
OLEO is your first choice.
Safety returned with one change.
OLEO oil is the oil that saves.
Fast…steady…whatever lets you down.
Did you hear the sound? Don't ignore it.
Power releases with every run.
Every press of play...select the oil you chose.
Why should you care about engine oil?
Not every oil understands the engine.
From the desert to the city... the same confidence.
In this way, the product becomes part of the daily driving experience, and not just an oil bottle used during maintenance.

Creative Concept
A different visual theme is developed for each post to match the core message.
- Start Right
A modern vehicle with a range of OLEO products was used, linking the start of the journey with the correct choice of oil.
Message:
- Start right with OLEO
The design showcases the diversity of products and presents the brand as a complete solution to different needs.
- Your First Choice
The OLEO canister was placed in the middle of a road extending toward the horizon, with repeating canisters on either side of the road.
The scene expresses:
Continuity.
Long distances.
trust.
OLEO's presence at every stage of the journey.
- Restore Smooth Performance
The vehicle's dashboard is used to offer oil changes as a straightforward step that helps restore the driver's sense of stability and safe operation.
The design links a simple decision with an outcome that the user notices while driving.
- One Change Makes a Difference
The packaging is presented next to a red and green instrument panel, with smoke and lighting effects used to illustrate the transition from warning to performance.
- Fuel-Efficiency Message
The product packaging is integrated with a fuel indicator, linking the selection of the appropriate oil to the concept of the most efficient operation.
The message was brief:
- OLEO oil...the oil that saves
- Fast, stable, reliable
A car is used on a night road within a local environment, with strong green lighting and reflections on the asphalt.
The scene expresses:
Speed.
Consistency.
Prepare for different methods.
Product presence during daily driving.
- Engine Warning
The design was based on a car with an open hood with smoke and green lighting.
The letter began with a question:
- Did you hear the sound? Don't ignore it
It is a method that helps arouse curiosity, and then links the content to the importance of paying attention to the condition of the engine and oil.
- Power with Every Start
A finger was used to press the car's start button, with the OLEO canister placed next to the start moment.
The idea symbolizes that engine power begins before moving on the road, specifically from choosing the appropriate oil.
Every Start Is a Choice
The play button idea was repeated in a more direct way, with the message:
Every press of play...select the oil you chose
Thus, the decision to buy oil has been transformed into an experience that the driver feels every time he starts his car.
- Why Engine Oil Matters
An exposed engine with an illuminated visual element at its centre, was used to represent oil as a vital part of the car's interior.
The publication provides an educational input by asking:
Why should you care about engine oil?
- Oil That Understands Your Engine
The engine and OLEO canister are highlighted next to it, with the phrase:
- Not every oil understands the engine
The idea is to diagnose the brand as an expert who understands the different needs of engines, rather than presenting the oil as a generic product.
- From Desert to City
Two different scenes combined within one design:
Desert and open roads.
The modern city and environment.
With the car and OLEO products placed in the middle, to deliver a message:
- From the desert to the city... the same confidence
