Marine Conservation Society

Roadshow marketing collateral

Aimed at school children sixteen and below 'The Cool Seas Roadshow' was part of the Marine Conservation Society's educational program; raising awareness of marine wildlife and highlighting the importance of protection and conservation in UK waters.

To support the program as it toured around UK schools each pupil would receive a sixty-page workbook containing a range of fun educational activities and puzzles as well as promotional items (bookmarks, t-shirts, masks etc) that introduced them to a world of marine conservation. The initial workbook print run consisted of 25,000 copies.

Engaging and friendly characters to navigate complex issues

To effectively communicate key themes and engage with the pupils, I designed a vibrant team of sea-life characters to serve as friendly and relatable guides, helping children explore and understand the marine world. Through their adventures and stories they made learning about the ocean fun and helped to navigate the youngest through difficult issues such as pollution, climate change, and endangered species in an age-appropriate manner. All characters and supporting elements in the booklet were hand-drawn and taken into Illustrator to colour and finalise.

Promotional items - Sustaining the narrative

A range of promotional items were designed to support the roadshow. These items included branded notebooks, pens, stickers and t-shirts. The items not only served as memorable keepsakes but also as tools to encourage ongoing interest and participation in the roadshow’s themes and activities.
