Shell: Moving Forward

'Moving Forward' is the idea that the right tool can change disabled people's lives and give their independence back. Because it's more than an idea — it's a life philosophy — we found a real person who embodies it.

Sergeant Rick Clement is a disabled veteran who has embodied the spirit of 'moving forward' since losing his legs to an IED in Afghanistan. To bring the idea to life, we created a campaign for Shell & Fuel Service that comes together like a puzzle — building a picture of Rick's resilience in the face of his life-changing injuries.
