Marketing Plan for the Nanaue Nautical Nexus: The Nanaue Nautical Nexus (NNN) is an innovative library and cultural center dedicated to preserving marine life and celebrating the rich traditions of Hawaiʻi’s Manō (shark) culture. Located along the coast, the NNN serves as a vital resource for researchers, academics, and the public, offering a wide range of materials, from rare manuscripts and marine science archives to interactive exhibits and educational workshops. The NNN bridges the gap between tradition and innovation, promoting environmental stewardship and cultural pride while deepening the understanding of marine ecosystems.

This project focuses on creating a comprehensive marketing plan for the NNN. It outlines the Marketing Plan’s mission statement, environmental scan, project description, timeline, and budget. The plan details strategies to promote the NNN through social media, word-of-mouth, print, and electronic marketing, alongside an assessment plan to measure success. Through education and community engagement, the NNN invites everyone to contribute to preserving the wonders of the deep sea. View the presentation
