Content Creation for Your Business
Content marketing is all the rage, but much of this content goes unread or fails to produce a return on your investment. Sometimes it gets lost in the crowd and sometimes it just doesn't resonate on the receiving end.
Whichever stage your business is at, it's important to understand what your target audience wants or cares about if you want them to engage. Despite all the marketing and measurement tools available, first we need to get the story right - it's what good sales people do instinctively, and a good read is no different.
At OnboardOnline we take time to understand your business to produce copy that gets results and makes your business stand out.
Our rates include finished copy, publication and promotion on social media. We also disseminate via our network of media partners achieving wide exposure in different formats.
As well as immediate exposure, our articles reference well online maintaining your visibility long term. Our archive is also highly searchable and many readers use our platform in this way.
Our services include:
Content Creation
As well as advising on strategy, we can create one-off articles or deliver an entire annual campaign. If you're looking for industry knowledge, creative ideas and a fresh approach, please get in touch and we'll be delighted to help.
Sponsored Content
If you have in-house writers or a PR but need targeted exposure to the superyacht community, we publish and promote article submissions - ad hoc or more frequently via a subscription.
Custom Books
We produce annual charter directories for a number of leading brokerages in Europe and the US, as well as a range of custom books showcasing different types of yachting experience. If you'd like to feature your yacht or, if you have another project in mind, please get in touch.
Our Audience
OnboardOnline has a global audience of superyacht crew and industry professionals and a significant following on social media. Together with our strategic partners we have a reach of over 100K across digital and print.
Areas of Expertise:
With in-depth knowledge and firsthand experience, we can write about a broad range of topics from crew training, technology and security, to yacht charter, marinas and destinations. With growing pressure on businesses and yachts to improve their green credentials, we're also keen to report on sustainable solutions across the marine sector.
