Maré

Swimwear made from recovered fishing nets. We launched it with a campaign shot entirely underwater and a motion system that moves like the tide.

The brief

Maré had a great story, swimwear spun from nets pulled out of the Atlantic, and a brand that told it like a sustainability report.

They had one summer to launch, a small budget and a category full of beach clichés.

Our answer

Shoot nothing on the beach. The whole campaign happens underwater, where the nets came from, filmed in a Lisbon public pool over two nights.

The logo and type swell and settle on a slow tide rhythm, so every post, ad and product page moves the same way.

What Happened Next

The numbers, half a year on.

  • views of the launch film
  • to sell out the first run
  • of nets recovered for every thousand suits

They said no beach, no sunsets, no slow-motion hair. I was nervous. Then we sold out in six weeks.
