A solid brand strategy and high-impact content marketing
- bound by a love for surfing

Hi, this is me: Marijke, and I´m on a mission.
‍
After more than seven years of helping sustainable brands with their positioning, branding, and storytelling, it’s time for a new wave in my life. Same skill, but a new industry - one that is even closer to my heart. With the Ocean Content Collective, I will help surf-related businesses discover their unique DNA, craft a powerful story, and build a strong connection with their audience. Together, we’ll create a solid foundation, develop a strategy that truly works, and assemble a creative team that loves surfing as much as you do. This way, your business won’t just grow—it will make an impact.

Strategy

As an experienced Brand Strategist I will start with the bigger questions. Who are you and what is the authentic story that people need to hear? What makes your business unique? Who do you want to attract? How are you going to reach them? Setting up a solid foundational strategy will ensure you have a clear path to success.

Branding

Make people notice, leave a lasting impression and be that brand that people talk about in the line-up. The Ocean Content Collective builds strong brands that’ll stand the test of time. My team of creatives will transform your strategy into a powerful visual identity that represents your vision and core philosophies.

Ripple Surf Therapy
by Strategist Marijke Tadema
The Ocean Content Collective has been a huge help in refining Ripple’s online presence. We were struggling to find a tone of voice and visual style on social media that truly reflected the retreats we offer.

OCC helped us rethink our strategy and find a direction that felt much more aligned with who we are and what we do. After developing this new approach, they also provided local content creators and photo/videographers in both Indonesia and Portugal who captured our retreats in a way that stayed true to that vision.

We’re still working together, and I genuinely recommend their services to any surf camps, surf schools, or surf retreat teams looking for content support that’s thoughtful, professional, and true to your brand!

Surfers
for Surfers

Surfing isn't just a sport — it’s a way of life. Living in the moment. Connecting with Mother Nature. Finding common ground with other likeminded people. We understand that surf businesses embody this wholesome lifestyle, and we work with creatives who share our passion for growing surf culture in a respectful and authentic manner.
