Approach

Brand first, then the website, then monthly SEO.

RJ Maclean needed a brand and website that matched the scale of its tank cleaning work. We started with brand positioning: who the company serves, what sets its robotic tank cleaning apart and how it should sound. From there we created the logo and colours, wrote the content and built a WordPress website with a page for every service and industry. Since January 2026, monthly SEO has grown the traffic the site gets from Google, in Canada and the U.S.
01
Brand & positioning

A brand built for heavy industry

We defined RJ Maclean’s positioning and messaging: who it serves, from oil and gas operators to EHS directors and facility managers, what sets its robotic tank cleaning apart, and how it should sound. Then we designed the logo and colours to match, giving the company one clear, consistent look in Canada and the U.S.
