Two years into Wake Media and Bray Leino’s strategic partnership, the maritime marketing collaboration marks a new phase of growth with a new joint Agency ID which makes its debut at Nor-Shipping this week.

In March 2020 specialist marketing Agency Wake Media and creative communications Agency Bray Leino launched a new strategic partnership, combining 40 years’ industry experience to provide unrivalled, end to end marketing services for the maritime sector. Despite the global pandemic coinciding with the launch, the partnership has gone on to secure appointments with some of the biggest names in the maritime sector.

Now the partnership is preparing for a new phase of growth, with a vibrant new ID which reflects the shared energy and momentum of the two Agencies coming together; the scope of services is captured in the strapline ‘Complete marine marketing’.

The collaboration offers an unrivalled array of communication expertise, specialisms, and in-depth knowledge – covering strategy, creative, design, digital, social, direct response, events, media, PR and internal comms – ensuring a joined-up and integrated solution to create impact and deliver better value for Clients. This unique offering has secured an impressive Client list, including coating solutions specialists Hempel, classification society DNV, Alfa Laval – leading vessel solution provider, maritime software solutions provider One Ocean, and Marlink – one of the world’s leading providers of smart network solutions.

Bray Leino CEO, Kate Cox, says: “Despite a challenging time for most businesses – not least within the maritime sector – we’ve leveraged our partnership to drive real growth for a number of Clients.”

Andy Ford, Managing Director at Wake Media, says: “It’s been an incredible two years for our partnership and we’re enormously proud of what we’ve achieved. Now, as we embark on a new chapter in our story together, it’s fantastic to look back at our successes.”

Wake Media and Bray Leino will be present at this year’s Nor-Shipping event (4-7 April) and, later this year, at Wake Media’s own Marketing in Maritime – the only European marketing event to focus specifically on the sector.
