Six ways we help maritime businesses grow.

Marketing Strategy

Positioning, planning and go-to-market strategy that connects your expertise with the right audiences.

Brand & Positioning

Defining how your business is perceived and ensuring your brand communicates your true value.

Content & Communications

Thought leadership, editorial content and communications that build credibility and drive engagement.

Campaigns & Demand Generation

Integrated campaigns that generate awareness, leads and commercial opportunities.

Fractional Marketing Leadership

Senior marketing direction on a flexible basis — the expertise of a CMO without the full-time commitment.

Events & Experiences

Strategic event planning and delivery that creates meaningful connections and commercial outcomes.

Why Points North

We don't learn your industry on your budget

We know maritime.

Our experience spans maritime technology, vessel operations, data and intelligence, safety, professional services, training, international exhibitions, corporate events and industry communications. We understand the complexities of maritime business, the different priorities of its decision-makers and the importance of trusted relationships.

We bring experience, not unnecessary overheads.

Clients work directly with experienced senior professionals who can provide strategic guidance, lead projects or deliver practical support. We take a flexible approach, shaped around the objectives and resources of each client.

We connect the bigger picture.

Marketing, communications, reputation and commercial performance don't exist in isolation. We look at how they work together, helping clients communicate more effectively, make better decisions and pursue the right opportunities.

Senior Expertise. Flexible Support.

Good marketing doesn't always need a big agency or a permanent appointment.

Sometimes you need a fresh perspective, help with a specific project or experienced marketing leadership to move your business forward.

Points North offers practical, senior-level marketing support for maritime businesses, from focused assignments to strategy development, campaigns and fractional leadership.

Led by Sue Henney, we work directly with clients and draw on trusted specialists in communications, research, commercial development and events when additional expertise is needed.

Maritime Signals

The stories behind the headlines.

The maritime industry moves fast. We track the trends, conversations and commercial shifts that matter — and help our clients stay ahead of them.
