In Portuguese "Sentes Mormaii" ("Feel Mormaii") was the company slogan.
To bring the sense of adventure, energy, independence, charisma and personal style - all hallmarks of the surfers' spirit - into an English slogan, we used the company name for how it sounded in English: More My...
More My Life - More My Style - More My Way
In partnership with a Brazilian production company we produced, a shortform video featuring the company's founder, 72-year-old surfer and mogul 'Morongo,' and a dozen of his Mormaii-sponsored athletes.
These included world champions and record holders of big wave, stand-up paddle, skimboard, and others.
We conducted remote interviews, shot in 3 locations in Brazil - Rio di Janiero, Florianopolis, and Garopaba - and edited them together with readings from our script "Water People"
Mormaii Industries' website is first and foremost an online store. It offers wetsuits, watches, glasses, footwear, hats, shorts, shirts, e-bikes, and more.
With such a wide range of offerings, the majority of the online real estate is banners and product shots.
To usher Mormaii Global into a contemporary online presence that captures the passion of its core ethos, we designed and developed a dot com, English-speaking site.
With a (More my) Lifestyle vibe, we showed people first, then products when you click deeper.

Carrying the theme of the waves being surfed all year round - and around the globe - by the Mormaii team of surfers, the social campaign harnesses the reach of all of their combined feeds across all platforms;
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads, X, etc.
Mormaii Global starts a thread of stories/reels on their feed and tags the youngest athletes, who share through their feeds in a series of shared stories, retweets, etc.
The traffic bounces between multiple accounts and leads back to the Mormaii Global account, only to begin again. Like the ocean, one wave starts, swells, settles into the sea, and a new wave starts all over again.
Mormaii sponsors a remarkable team of award-winning and record-holding athletes - surfers, swimmers, divers, etc - from juniors in their teens to legends in their 50s.
Their combined social media audience is considerable.
As a component of the campaign, corporate sponsors were invited to participate in shared brand and product placement. After a few soft launches, the unpredictable schedules of surfers, which follow the unpredictable swells of waves around the world, made corporate participation in this kind of project impractical.
Despite the absence of sponsors, the incredible larger-than-life champions sponsored by Mormaii continue to break records, inspire young athletes with their travels and quests, and promote individual brands with more flexible expectations.
The athletes continue to interact with each other spontaneously, accompanying each other around the world both in person and on their social media feed.
Moving forward with the expansion of Mormaii's Social Media presence, we developed a soundmark for their online video assets.
We workshopped different ideas for Mormaii and decided that we wanted something strong, brief, and striking that would subconsciously emulate the experience of the surfer.
We worked with DJs and classical musicians to capture the rush of the waves, the beat of the heart, and the high pitch ring heard internally when overcome by the silence of going underwater...
...all in less than 3 seconds.
Then we synced the audio up with a motion graphic of the logo mark and tested the concept out on some (re-edited) existing reels from the athletes' feeds.
These shorts became fun identity pieces, and the project files became adaptable templates for company use.
After testing the waters with their own 'in-house' global outreach, and in part due to the incredible work we were able to execute on their behalf, Mormaii Industries is now in discussions with a multi-national lifestyle brand to purchase the entire company.
THIS IS MORMAII LIFE!!
