Miami, FL — September 13, 2024—Seaworthy Collective, a Miami-based nonprofit that supports current, aspiring, and underrepresented entrepreneurs driving innovation for ocean and climate impact (AKA BlueTech), announces a new partnership with Ballyhoo Media. Through this collaboration, Ballyhoo Media will provide Seaworthy Collective with in-kind advertising space through its C-Program, significantly enhancing Seaworthy’s marketing efforts and expanding its reach across South Florida.

The partnership will allow Seaworthy Collective to spotlight its fifth cohort of innovative startups and its partners by leveraging Ballyhoo Media’s platforms to promote key initiatives and events. Ballyhoo Media is an ideal partner for Seaworthy Collective, given its shared mission to protect and regenerate the ocean through innovation, education, and advocacy. Their combined efforts will drive awareness, inspire action, and support the development of sustainable solutions.

“Our partnership with Ballyhoo Media is not only continuing to grow visibility for both Seaworthy Collective and our startups’ work, but also leading to tangible opportunities for startups to deploy their much-needed solutions in our regional waterways. This combination of raising awareness of ocean and climate impact innovation while providing catalytic pilot opportunities further reinforces South Florida’s status as a leading BlueTech hub. Every time you see a Ballyhoo boat on the water, you’ll also see critical solutions for pollution, greenhouse gas reduction and removal, or coastal resilience and adaptation at work!” – Daniel Kleinman, Founder and CEO at Seaworthy Collective.

Ballyhoo Media is committed to environmental stewardship, demonstrated through its various community and environmental programs, including the Blue Beacon, The C-Program, R.E.E.F Program, and the 10% for the Water Program. These initiatives underscore Ballyhoo’s commitment to sustainability and community engagement, making them an excellent partner for Seaworthy Collective.

Recently, Ballyhoo completed a water testing pilot program with Miami Waterkeeper, which revealed that 20% of the tested areas did not meet environmental standards. This finding highlights the critical importance of public-private partnerships in driving impactful community programs and the ongoing need for efforts in water preservation.

“We’re extremely excited to partner with Seaworthy Collective because their passion for protecting our oceans and empowering communities aligns perfectly with what we stand for at Ballyhoo, to champion environmental sustainability and community engagement. By working together, we can make an even bigger impact on preserving our waterways and ensuring a sustainable future for the places we all love.” – Helen Roldan, Director of Communications and Public Affairs at Ballyhoo Media.

Nike’s latest campaign is an ode to unapologetic athletes and their remarkable achievements. Celebrating the relentless spirit of athletes, it was perfectly timed with the recent Olympics in Paris.The campaign, titled “Winning Isn’t for Everyone,” kicked off last month and features an array of star-studded athletes like Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, Sha’Carri Richardson, and A’ja Wilson. It runs through the beginning of September.


For this campaign, Nike was selective with the cities chosen to feature its ads, with Miami standing out as one of its main locations. Throughout the campaign, Ballyhoo’s digital billboard screens have provided same-day changes to complement the dynamic nature of this activation.


So, why did Nike decide to run on our floating screens? It all comes down to location, quality, and nonstop coverage.


Florida had one of the highest numbers of athletes across all states at the 2024 Olympics, and ended the games with 22 medals, second only to California. Many of the thirty-seven Olympians from Florida came from Miami-Dade and Broward counties. This highlights our state’s vibrant sports culture and makes Miami an even more fitting location for Nike’s campaign.


Our floating screens have served as the perfect canvas with an amazing backdrop of South Florida, showcasing Team USA’s moments of triumph while reaching a wide and engaged audience.
