Concerning the online aspect of the change in brands, "Superpumper utilizes a holistic approach to marketing and branding," said Philip Warbasse, president and CEO of Warbasse Media, the Santa Monica, Calif., the online marketing and design firm that redesigned Superpumper's website. Originally designed by our firm in 2003, our job here was to rebrand superpumper.com to reflect its new line of Shell products without detracting from the utility of the original site."

The main features of superpumper.com are still in place including a store and product chart that enables visitors to view locations and amenities at a glance, such as Shell gasoline, car washes, diesel fuel, Western Union Money Orders, RV dumps and propane.
