Communication tone and messaging style Fortune: Viva Energy Australia (www.vivaenergy.com.au)
1. Humanize the ‘Geelong Refinery’ and ‘Energy Hub’ narratives by shifting from infrastructure-centric descriptions to ‘Energy Sovereignty’ and workforce-led storytelling. 2. Purge 40% of the corporate boilerplate and replace it with a ‘B2B Solutionist’ tone that addresses specific industry pain points (e.g., fuel security for aviation, decarbonization for heavy transport). 3. Develop a proprietary ‘Transition Vocabulary’ that moves beyond generic sustainability terms to establish Viva Energy as the pragmatic architect of Australia’s energy future.
Viva Energy communicates like a utility waiting for instructions rather than a market leader driving a revolution; they are hiding behind Shell’s logo because their own voice is too quiet to be heard.
The messaging suffers from ‘Corporate Institutionalism’ and Strategic Misalignment. The tone is overly clinical, risk-averse, and dense with ESG buzzwords that lack authentic differentiation. The root cause is a heavy reliance on ‘Technical Debt’ in communication; the site reads like a compliance document or an annual report rather than a dynamic energy partner. There is a perceptible friction between the ‘Shell’ brand they license and the ‘Viva Energy’ corporate identity, leaving the brand personality fragmented and passive.

Compared to Ampol, which has successfully leveraged an ‘Australia’s Own’ narrative to build a cohesive national identity, Viva Energy remains in the shadow of the Shell brand. While BP uses an aggressive, future-forward ‘Beyond Petroleum’ narrative to lead the transition conversation, Viva Energy’s messaging feels reactionary, focusing on maintaining the status quo rather than defining the future of Australian energy.

The financial cost of this ‘Generic Incumbent’ messaging is significant. In the B2B and commercial sectors, where procurement increasingly weights ‘Energy Partnership’ over ‘Fuel Supply,’ a lack of a distinct, persuasive voice leads to higher churn and reduced pricing power. Inaction results in brand commoditization, forcing Viva Energy to compete on price and logistics rather than premium strategic value.

Viva Energy occupies a high-stakes, capital-intensive niche as a downstream energy giant. Its value proposition is anchored in critical infrastructure (refining and supply chain) but is currently under existential pressure to pivot toward sustainability without alienating legacy B2B revenue streams.

“The score of 62 reflects high professional standards and technical accuracy, but a failure to achieve any meaningful strategic differentiation or emotional resonance in a rapidly evolving market.”
