Sub-Marine: The Latest Industry News
Week 1
Hi, my name is Callum. I am the owner of Graphic Vibes and content provider for the Sub-Marine Newsletter. At Graphic Vibes we offer professional Photography, Videography, Drone Operations and more to the Marine Industry.
Our specialist background in Marine Interiors, along with our passion for Professional Media, is the root to the creation of Graphic Vibes. Having seen newbuild and refit projects through from the design and production of IMO Products, to marketing and selling them, we feel, who would be better fitted to come onboard and capture maritime businesses in action than us? Compared to your day to day media companies, we believe we have an enhanced vision on what you as a company, and your target audience want to see. I have also personally experienced the life as a deckhand onboard multiple SuperYachts around the Mediterranean, giving us that extra inside industry knowledge.
With state of the art equipment and a vast arsenal of experience we believe we can capture superlative content as a powerful marketing tool, specifically aimed at THE MARINE INDUSTRY.
Graphic Vibes have been busy since the start of 2022. As a new business things can be unpredictable. We are however fortunate to have such a great relationship with the team at Elite Exhibitions, who host the Cruise Ship Interiors Expo (Europe & America). CSI recently involved us in their first ever Social Networking Event in Southampton at The Harbour Hotel & Spa called “CSI Plus Social”. This was a great opportunity where we were able to engage with major cruise lines such as Carnival UK, Royal Caribbean, NCL, Saga Cruises and more; all whilst boasting our abilities as we photographed the event.
Being so close to such a wide spectrum of maritime professionals including Contractors, Designers, Cruise Executives and IMO Product Manufacturers was a great experience. Especially in the place most would consider the heart of cruising for the UK.
