About Blue-C
PR and communications for the maritime, ocean and B2B industries. From Oslo, since 2010.
Who we are
Ocean industry storytellers
Blue-C is an Oslo-based PR and communications agency specialising in the maritime, ocean and B2B industries. Founded in 2010, we help shipping, energy, aquaculture and maritime technology companies get recognised by the media, customers and partners that matter to them.
Our team of experienced journalists, editors and PR specialists, most of them native English speakers from the UK and the US, delivers three things: strategy, editorial content and media relations.
We know the industry and its language, so you don’t have to explain the technology. We find the story, shape the message and get it in front of the right people.
