The ocean is the biggest carbon sink on the planet and extraordinary blue carbon habitats have a vital role to play in solving the climate crisis. We helped British watch brand Christopher Ward raise awareness of their partnership with ocean conservation charity Blue Marine Foundation and showcase the need to build the value of the ocean as a climate change solution. Programmes include active blue carbon restoration, the provision of scientific evidence to understand these complicated processes, the application of highly innovative technologies to monitor projects and the public and political campaigning necessary to take blue carbon seriously. We drove people to site helping to boost sales of Christopher Ward’s C60 BLUE, a limited-edition dive watch that quickly sold out helping to raise over £200,000 for Blue Marine Foundation. We achieved over 25 pieces of coverage with the likes of Tatler, Esquire and Condé Nast Traveller as well as key watch titles and blogs. This was one of many projects we have worked on as part of an ongoing relationship between Christopher Ward and Blue Marine Foundation.
