For brands
Work with Ocean Calling as a brand
We work with a few brands that fit calm, responsible time in the ocean. Ocean Calling Retreats is a small ocean travel company founded by Rocío Ruiz: retreats for six guests at most, an Ocean Atlas of places we research, and a Journal of honest stories about whales, reefs and responsible travel.
Who it suits
Brands that belong in the water
- Ocean gear: masks, fins, wetsuits, rash guards, dry bags and travel gear
- Sun care and everyday products with ocean claims you can show us
- Sustainable stays, local food and drink, and responsible travel services
- Conservation and research organisations
What a collaboration can look like
Options we can agree together
- A feature in a Journal story or gear guide, clearly marked as a collaboration
- A place in our gear lists or Amazon storefront, only if we would use it ourselves
- Rocío tests your product in the water on a real trip, and tells you honestly how it went
- Written and photographed content for our channels
- A longer partnership, such as a conservation project we support together
Our standards
What we promise you, and ask of you
- We say clearly when something is a collaboration or an affiliate link
- We stay honest: we only recommend what we would use ourselves, and we share real feedback, good or bad
- We ask for evidence behind any environmental claim, and we say no to greenwashing
- Animals are never chased, touched, fed or baited in anything we create
- We say no, kindly, when a collaboration does not fit our values
Audience and results
Real numbers, not estimates
When we talk about working together, we share our real audience numbers, straight from our own website and social analytics. After the collaboration, we send you the real results. We never publish guesses or rounded-up figures.
