Who We Support with Ocean Communication

Ocean Oculus works with research projects, scientific institutions, nonprofits, international programmes, public engagement initiatives, and marine technology and innovation companies.

The challenges vary. Some clients need help explaining complex research or technology, others want to reach new audiences, develop a communications strategy or bring in additional expertise for a project.

You have important work that isn't reaching the right people

You've produced valuable research, developed new technology or delivered an important project. But the people you want to reach may not know about it, understand its relevance or see how they could use it.

I can help turn complex research, data and technical information into content that's appropriate for your audiences, whether that's customers, policymakers, funders, practitioners, or the wider public.

You need additional communications support

Not every organisation or project has the time, resources or specialist expertise to manage all its communications in-house.

I can take on individual assignments, provide ongoing support or work alongside your existing team. For larger projects, I can also bring in trusted collaborators with complementary skills.

You need to demonstrate impact

Funders, stakeholders, and partners want to see that your work is making a difference. Communicating impact clearly and credibly is increasingly important – and increasingly expected.

I can help you communicate your progress and results through case studies, reports, articles, and other content.

You want to build communication capability in your team

I offer science communication workshops for researchers, project teams and other ocean professionals who want to develop their communication skills.

Workshops can be tailored to your team's experience and needs, covering topics such as communicating complex research, working with journalists and reaching non-specialist audiences.

You want communication that's strategic, not just reactive

Producing content is one thing. Knowing what to communicate, who to reach and how to do it is another.

Whether you're starting a new project, reviewing your current approach or looking to make better use of the resources you already have, I can help you develop a communications strategy that works for you and your audience.

You need specialist expertise for a project

I also work with communications agencies, consultancies and project teams that need specialist knowledge of the ocean sector.

Whether it's producing research-based content, contributing to communications strategy or supporting a larger project, I can work alongside your team to provide the expertise or additional capacity you need.

Experience across the ocean sector

Much of our work supports the ambitions of the UN Ocean Decade and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly efforts to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsible ocean future.

My work supports organisations contributing to a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsible ocean future, including those working across:

• Ocean science and marine research

• Policy, governance, and management

• Conservation and ocean sustainability

• International programmes and collaborations

• Marine technology, ocean innovation, and the sustainable ocean economy

• Education, outreach, and public engagement

If your work is connected to the ocean but doesn't fit neatly into one of these categories, I'd still be happy to hear from you.
