PETRONAS Lubricants International (PLI), the global division of PETRONAS dedicated to high-performance lubricants and functional fluids, returns to TV with a new campaign celebrating workshops in honour of the 10th anniversary of the Italian PETRONAS Network.<\/p>\n
PETRONAS Lubricants International unveils a compelling new advertising campaign in the signature style that has long distinguished the company and its historic brands. The campaign, titled \u201cLEGACY\u201d<\/strong>, is a spot produced by Fargo Film and created to commemorate a decade of workshop excellence \u2014 a tribute to the deep-rooted culture of Italian mechanical craftsmanship and the \u201cformula of excellence\u201d that continues to drive the company, headquartered in the Turin area.<\/p>\n The spot will air exclusively on Rai networks until June 28, 2025<\/strong>, with 388 broadcasts<\/strong> in 30\u201d, 15\u201d, and 4\u201d billboard formats during high-visibility programs such as TG2 Motori<\/em>, 90\u00b0 Minuto<\/em>, La Domenica Sportiva<\/em>, and throughout the 2025 Giro d\u2019Italia<\/em>, followed by millions of viewers across the country. The media plan also includes screenings in major Italian cinemas, as part of the Rai Pubblicit\u00e0 circuit<\/strong>, in combination with the film F1<\/em>, from June 25 to July 9, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cThe campaign, created to celebrate the ‘formula of excellence’ that has always guided PETRONAS Lubricants International, highlighted not just our products and values \u2014 such as heritage, expertise, training, and reliability \u2014 but also inclusivity, gender equality, and human connection. These are the qualities that make today\u2019s workshops modern and vibrant places, where people \u2014 just like in our company \u2014 remain the true driving force behind the PETRONAS Network,\u201d said Ciro Lupo<\/strong>, Business Head for Italy & Africa, PETRONAS Lubricants International.<\/p>\n The story\u2019s protagonists are an experienced mechanic and a young woman who turns out to be his daughter \u2014 the same one portrayed with him in an old photograph. This narrative choice reflects the intergenerational passing down of skills, values, and passion: a heartfelt tribute to the craftsmanship and dedication behind every drop of PETRONAS oil.<\/p>\n The set, an actual PETRONAS workshop in Turin<\/strong>, was transformed into an industrial museum for the occasion, enhanced with historic signage from Olio Fiat<\/strong> and Selenia<\/strong>, carefully selected by Federico Bollarino<\/strong>, curator of the PETRONAS Heritage Highlights corporate museum based at the Santena headquarters near Turin. The setting \u2014 a perfect blend of tradition and innovation \u2014 underscores the authentic charm of Italian workshops and reaffirms their relevance in today’s world.<\/p>\n \u201cThe ‘formula of excellence’ we were able to develop as a team with the Marketing & Communication department of PETRONAS Lubricants Italy was essential in telling the story of such an iconic and long-standing brand,\u201d said Federico Gasca<\/strong>, director of the spot produced by the Turin-based audiovisual company.<\/p>\n PETRONAS \u201cLEGACY\u201d<\/strong> is more than just an ad \u2014 it\u2019s a story of identity, a tribute to the passion, work, and future of Italian workshops. A powerful return for a brand that continues to write its legacy of innovation and reliability.<\/p>\n Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n Credits<\/strong> Link to the spot:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
