The Challenge

Labuan Bajo's main street is lined with dive shops. Every one of them competing for the same diver walking through the door. The aim was to make Scuba Republic impossible to ignore before the diver even landed in Indonesia. Capturing attention online while showcasing what genuinely makes them special. On top of that, they were launching a brand new liveaboard that needed to sell out fast. Two goals, one strategy. Let's go.

The Strategy

The diving in Komodo sells itself. What Scuba Republic needed to sell was everything else. The crew, the laughs, the boat, the feeling of being exactly where you're supposed to be. We built a video first content strategy around exactly that. Behind the scenes footage, real moments on the water and the kind of infectious FOMO that makes someone look at their phone, nudge their partner, and say, we need to do this.

Alongside social, we activated their existing newsletter audience to support the liveaboard launch. Hitting warm, already engaged divers with the right message at the right moment.

The Results

• Liveaboard fully sold out within the first month of working with Mogfish

• 70,000+ views on individual Instagram Reels

• Consistently sold out dive days as a direct result of ongoing content

• Continued sellout liveaboard bookings off the back of the social media campaign

What the Client Said

"I had the opportunity to work with Lauren for several months in Indonesia. She was an invaluable support on specific marketing tasks for my scuba diving company. She is conscientious, methodical, and dedicated. Her experience in the field is evident, as she was able to assist me with a variety of tasks, including creating a newsletter, developing social media content, graphic design, and acquiring relevant Google reviews from our clients. A true professional whom I wholeheartedly recommend!"

The Takeaway

People connected with the fun, the crew and the raw beauty of Komodo, and the results showed it. A sold out liveaboard in month one. Reels hitting 70,000 views. Dive days booked out on repeat. Keep showing up, keep it real and keep putting Scuba Republic in front of divers who haven't discovered them yet.
