Indian Oil News

Newsletter structure and editorial direction.

Indian Oil Corporation had and still has an agency to work with and deliver its 48-page monthly newsletter when they approached us. We studied three years of archived material and did a page-by-page post-mortem to discover the strengths, weaknesses, and efficacy of the existing structure and content. We also explored the strengths and limitations of the editing team and studied their work process. We proposed a structural overhaul of the content structure, its approach, and its place in the newsletter around changing reader habits, consumption patterns, and the mutually agreed-upon objectives that were expected from the newsletter.

It was a complete overhaul. Only the name, the physical size, and the names of the sections were retained to ensure reader comfort. We created guidelines for the copy, photography, and illustrations wherever applicable, as well as for the design team. We also built a bank of story formats to address eventualities when certain sections would need to be dropped and replaced because of unforeseen circumstances. All this was built around their existing infrastructure and workflow to minimise disruption.

This was documented in a manual that addressed copy, layout, and visuals for all the existing and new sections, plus a bank of new and optional sections. We created the bedrock of the existing Indian Oil Newsletter.
