Wonderly welcomes the Marine Conservation Society
Issie Peate: “We are really excited to be working with the Marine Conservation Society, whose dedicated work, tireless campaigning and positive impact on the ocean make it a truly unique organisation.”

Earlier this month, Wonderly, the in-house agency for Haymarket Media Group announced the Marine Conservation Society as its client. Crucial to now working together is the launch of Your Ocean, the new digital magazine exclusively for members of the Marine Conservation Society. Non-members can get a sneak peek of one of the stories, Search for Seaweed.

The Marine Conservation Society is a UK charity fighting for a cleaner, better-protected, healthier ocean. The charity works to highlight the importance of our ocean, and the life within it, through working with government, industry and education, to take action to restore and protect the marine environment, added the company.

Featuring exclusive videos, pictures and interviews, Wonderly says Your Ocean helps members dive into the charity’s campaigns, and the habitats and species it is working hard to save. It showcases stories from the Marine Conservation Society members, partners and Ocean Ambassadors. The summer issue – out now – includes ideas for how to make a difference when you’re at the coast. Readers can discover the best UK beaches for snorkelling, rockpooling and more and they can read about marine life in the UK from biologist, filmmaker and Ocean Ambassador Lizzie Daly. Plus, learn more about endangered basking sharks that visit our coastal waters.

Professor Juliet Brodie from the Natural History Museum shares how you can be a citizen scientist by joining the Big Seaweed Search and campaigner Laura Young tells us how you can support the #BanDisposableVapes campaign.

Wonderly says the digital magazine aims to appeal to the broad interests of the membership base and highlight positive action, so that they become advocates of the organisation, its purpose and the impact of its work both domestically and globally.

Issie Peate, Wonderly’s managing director, said: “We are really excited to be working with the Marine Conservation Society, whose dedicated work, tireless campaigning and positive impact on the ocean make it a truly unique organisation, both to the wider public and the members and volunteers at its heart. This partnership deepens our expertise in the membership sector as well as playing to the strengths of Wonderly’s approach whilst aligning so closely with our own wider Haymarket climate action goals, where we’re internationally recognised for our environmental commitment.”

Jennifer Mitchell, director of engagement and communications at the Marine Conservation Society, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Wonderly on our new digital members magazine. The interactive and creative capabilities of the platform, along with brilliant storytelling, really brings the ocean to life for our members, making exploring the magazine an immersive experience. We’re looking forward to working with Wonderly on the next issue already.”
