The Marina Industries Association (MIA) has engaged marine media commentator Nic Douglass, aka Sailor Girl, to provide media support services at Marinas24. Nic will attend the entire event to deliver live commentary, media updates, share the insightful conference content and promote the products and services of exhibitors.
Suzanne Davies, MIA CEO commented, “Nic will bring great vitality to the event, share it with the entire industry and will provide additional exposure for our speakers, exhibitors and sponsors.”
“I am really looking forward to sharing my first experience at Marinas24”, said Nic Douglass. “It is always fantastic to hear about new innovations in the marine industry, whether technological or organisational. I am looking forward to sharing a behind-the-scenes view into those key learnings from our exhibitors and speakers across the event on the Marinas24 channels, as well as my own.”
With tens of thousands of followers on her ‘Adventures of a Sailor Girl’ social media profile @sailorgirlhq, Nic will have plenty to share when she joins the Marketing Marinas conference panel on day one of the event.
“The Marketing Marinas conference panel will be a highlight, where I will share my own learnings following over a decade of work with clients across the marine industry; from sailing clients, including brands and events, to those people may not know about, such as submarines. Most importantly, it will be fantastic to check in with my industry friends, and to expand my network while sharing the stories from the incredible marine services that we have available around Australia and New Zealand,” she said.
