Driving shipping's radical transition

Why is marine PR and communications important for your brand? 

Enhance your maritime PR and marketing with BLUE, where we help you navigate the seismic change the shipping industry is going through. The climate crisis, advances in technology, connectivity and digitalisation, regulatory complexities, and the growing competition in an increasingly commoditised global market, are driving radical transformation.

Strategic maritime PR and communications, and how you position your brand, build reputation, and communicate with the people most important to you, is central to seizing the opportunities of a market in transition. 

As experts in the maritime sector, we help you find your unique voice and relevance in this new world order. We speak your language and know the market intimately, supporting you in defining and communicating the positive and progressive impact you make to the maritime world and broader society.

So, let’s talk marine.

"When I’m asked for my view on what underpins performance, top of my list is always best in class PR & communications. I’ve moved roles several times, each time I’ve gone back to BLUE Communications; they listen, they create, they advise, they deliver, and then they listen again."
Conor Mowlds, Chief Commercial Officer
“BLUE have been thoroughly professional and supportive throughout the project, often working flexibly as the new growth strategy took shape. The perception audit was invaluable, underpinning the new narrative, while the website design and development work has given us a vastly enhanced platform which is now actively engaging with new and existing audiences. BLUE are always highly responsive, well-organised and eager to make suggestions – a pleasure to work with.”
Dan Jones and Thecla Keizer, Marketing & Communications team

Simon Hill, Chief Financial Officer
