OES - Ocean Energy Systems

A journey from an Implementing Agreement within the IEA (International Energy Agency) - to being the authoritative voice within Ocean Energy

OES is an international, country-based organisation committed to facilitate and co-ordinate ocean energy research, development and demonstration through international co-operation and information exchange. Thereby leading to the deployment and commercialisation of sustainable, efficient, reliable, cost-competitive and environmentally sound ocean energy technologies. 

Since it was born as an Implementing Agreement within the IEA (International Energy Association), OES has undergone a massive change, resulting in a workprocess for new strategy and identity in 2011.

VOI Communication has been involved in the process of implementing the new strategy on various levels/platforms such as:
 

• Graphical identity 
  - New name
  - New logo + taglines
  - Stationery (business cards, paper/envelope, PPT presentation templates etc)
  - Brandmanual for all platforms
  
   
• From strategy to implementation (online communication)
  - Analysis of current situation
  - Analysis of competitors
  - Specification of desired situation (specification requirements, plan for implementation)
  
   
• New website
  Based on the OES values and the target groups we communicate to/with, the new website includes:
  - Educational articles within Wave, Tidal, Current, Salinity and Thermal energy
  - In-depth articles on specific technologies/challenges
  - News and events
  - Library with scientific documents
  - Presentation of activities within each member country
  - Online agents and newsletter
