I Speak Maritime™

Marketing and Communication Strategy for the Maritime industry

I turn maritime expertise into messaging that earns trust and opens doors.

I help maritime companies develop communication strategies that build trust, align their teams, and set them apart — without wasting time or sounding like everyone else.

Maritime fluency

With 25+ years in ship design, I understand the technical world you live in — and the people you're selling to. You won’t waste time explaining your product or audience.
I get your world.

strategy before storytelling

I don’t just help you talk about your business — I help you say the right thing, in the right way, to the right people.
Whether your goal is to build trust, stand out in a complex market, or align your internal messaging, every word starts with a clear communication strategy.
Your voice won’t sound like everyone else — because it isn’t.
No fluff. No mixed messages. Just smart, strategic communication that reflects who you really are — and why it matters.

flexible support levels

From DIY templates to done-for-you ghostwriting, you choose how much support you need. Either way, you get messaging that’s clear, confident, and unmistakably yours.

Maintain Your Voice

I mirror your voice and style to create consistent, on-brand content for the maritime industry.

Optimize for Impact

I tailor content to fit the various platform’s algorithms, maximizing reach and visibility.

about me

👋I’m a communication strategist — and a former ship designer — with over 25 years of experience in the maritime industry.
I founded I Speak Maritime™ to solve a challenge I saw again and again: brilliant maritime companies doing exceptional work, but struggling to communicate it in a way that resonates, builds trust, and gets results.You know your product inside and out.
You’ve earned your place in this industry.
But if your message doesn’t reflect that? You risk being misunderstood — or worse, ignored.That’s where I come in.I work with maritime suppliers, technology providers, logistics firms, shipyards, and shipping agencies to shape communication strategies that clarify their voice, strengthen their positioning, and help their teams speak with confidence — inside and out.Whether you’re entering a new market, preparing for growth, or aligning how your team talks about what you do — I’ll help you say the right thing, in the right way, to the right people.If you’re great at what you do, but your message doesn’t show it — let’s fix that.
Together.

about the process

I’m dedicated to transforming your ideas into impactful results through tailored solutions and strategic support.My mission is to help companies in the maritime industry achieve their full potential with expert insight and creative execution. Here’s what collaboration looks like:

Nail your communication strategy session

We meet to discuss - and decide - the best strategy for your business objectives.
I want to understand your goals, audience, and offer. Then we build a strategy that aligns with your business priorities — and actually reflects the real, technical value you bring to your clients.

next comes the writing

I no longer just write content — I help maritime companies decide which communication assets will actually move the needle, in what order, and why.Instead of guessing or “doing all the things,” we develop a clear communication strategy that maps the right message to the right moment in your sales cycle — so your team knows exactly what to create, when to use it, and how to measure its impact.Here’s what we might decide to prioritize:- A lead magnet to build your list with qualified prospects
- A case study that addresses the biggest objections in your sales conversations
- A sales explainer to support a new offering or partnership
- Website messaging that finally matches how you talk in person
- LinkedIn posts that reinforce credibility and spark interest
- A white paper that educates technical buyers while aligning with your market positioningIt’s not just content for content’s sake — it’s content with purpose, order, and ROI.I help you identify the most effective tools for your growth stage, set the right communication KPIs (not just likes or views), and make sure your messaging strategy supports the business outcomes you care about most.Need something tailored to your team or project?
I’m all ears — and fully fluent in maritime B2B.
