Overview

Company Summary

We’re INNOCEAN. We’re named after a belief––not a founder’s name––that there is an oceans’ worth of innovation to explore. In fact, the ocean is still 95% unexplored (it's true, just Google it). We see the same vast opportunity in our world to revitalize brands and connect them with modern consumers in more meaningful ways. Most importantly, we believe that creativity will always lead the exploration for ideas that can transform businesses and shape the fortunes of brands. We go beyond [ THE ASK ] We don’t stop at [ ADVERTISING ] We don’t follow [ CONVENTION ] We subscribe to the idea that stepping back can actually help move things forward. And we’ve built a culture of curiosity that never stops thinking, asking and exploring the world around us. Our guiding principle is “The further you go, the more you find.”
