Following their landmark $20 million acquisition of the Abo FPSO deep-water infrastructure in September 2023, STAC Marine partnered with Flip Visuals as their full service brand communications agency. As their trusted visual communications partner, we were tasked with developing a comprehensive brand identity for the Nigerian deep-water energy operator, aligning their visual narrative with their massive operational expansion.
Rather than treating branding as a finishing touch, STAC Marine’s leadership recognized early that operating an asset of this scale, one that puts them in direct contact with global energy companies, regulators, and partners, meant the company needed a brand identity built specifically for that stage from day one. STAC Marine engaged Flip Visuals to build that identity from the ground up.
STAC Marine came to us with a clear understanding of where they were headed,” said Austine Nwaojei. Co-Founder and Creative Director at Flip Visuals. They didn’t need to be convinced that brand visibility mattered a lot in building a business. They already knew. Our job was translating their operational ambition into a visual and communications system that matches it.
Flip Visuals approached the engagement as a positioning exercise: identifying what genuinely differentiates STAC Marine in a market often dominated by larger international operators. The agency’s insight was that STAC Marine’s edge lies in being responsive, locally grounded, and operationally disciplined, qualities that can be harder for global competitors to deliver at the same speed.
That positioning shaped every element of the identity Flip Visuals developed: a logo informed by FPSO pipeline structure, a visual system built to convey technical sophistication and operational precision, and a website designed around STAC Marine’s actual operations. The engagement also included a corporate communications strategy positioning STAC Marine as a thought leader in FPSO asset management, alongside social media management and motion/visual content.
“We saw this as developing a brand from scratch, not fixing something broken,” said the CEO at STAC Marine Offshore Ltd. We were challenged to use their original assets to create their brand identity. We went to work and delivered an exceptional brand presence for STAC MARINE OFFSHORE LTD.
The engagement reflects a broader approach Flip Visuals has taken across the energy, maritime, and fintech sectors it serves: pairing brand strategy with integrated execution design, digital presence, and communications delivered as a single system rather than separate deliverables.
Flip Visuals is a full-service brand management and visual communications agency based in Lagos, offering brand strategy, visual identity design, web development, corporate communications, social media management, and video production.
