Castrol engaged Tomorrow People to ensure their positioning was spot ON.
Entering the data center market was a bold move for Castrol ON. Their immersion cooling technology was largely unknown in the data center industry. This lack of awareness created a barrier to entry. Furthermore, articulating the value proposition of immersion cooling to a tech-savvy and skeptical audience proved to be a major challenge.
To overcome these challenges, Castrol ON enlisted the help of positioning agency Tomorrow People. This partnership aimed to create unrivaled value by leveraging Castrol ON’s established expertise in lubricants and expanding it into the data center industry. Our mission was clear: to differentiate Castrol ON’s immersion cooling solution, captivate audiences, create first-mover opportunities, and evolve market perspectives.
Tomorrow People’s work was multifaceted and comprehensive. It began with a new sub-brand positioning for Castrol ON, establishing a distinct identity in the data center space. We also developed a new product positioning strategy for data center cooling, ensuring that the unique benefits of immersion cooling were crystal clear to the target audience.
Moreover, it encompassed a complete overhaul of Castrol ON’s online presence, with a new website and a content strategy tailored to key segments such as OEMs, integrators, and data center owners and operators.
