Laureate Communications (LC) is a strategic communications consultancy. We blend real-world maritime and offshore energy experience with the creative talent to turn ideas into impact.
I’m Matt Kenney and LC is my company.
I started LC to help maritime, energy, and industrial businesses clarify their voice, shape their messaging, and produce polished and professional written content.
From corporate reports, whitepapers, and marketing material, to press articles, advertising copy, and website content, my work is grounded in industry insight and elevated by clear, compelling storytelling that aligns with your brand.
I‘m a writer, marketer, and chartered marine technologist with a background in seafaring, marine technology, and operations. I’ve built many skills and instincts over 20+ years of operational, commercial, business development, marketing, communications, and research experience, anchored on technology and innovation in the ocean economy.
I stepped into the maritime industry in 2001, studying Marine Technology and Engineering at Southampton College. Initially, I aspired to become a naval architect, but having completed my BTec (with distinction), I decided to go to sea.
I’ve since worked aboard a variety of yachts, small commercial vessels, government and fishery patrol vessels, survey vessels, and jack-up rigs; as well as for organisations like the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, British Antarctic Survey, Ensco Plc (now Valaris), Veson Nautical, and now many other clients besides.
Since 2022, LC has built an excellent reputation and enjoys many long-term repeat clients. We can handle substantive and data-intensive op-eds, guides, corporate reports, and tech-heavy marketing collateral. In fact, LC masters most tasks, big and small. We’ve written well in excess of half-a-million words for our clients, from 5-word taglines, to corporate reports north of 10,000 words in length, each delivered on-time, and on-budget.
Our partnership with Newton Design Co., means that LC can provide a full graphic design and data visualisation package for digital and print, ensuring every project delivers substance, style, and strategic value.
It’s fair to say, LC is not your average creative agency. We’re here to bring focus to complex ideas and help the ocean economy lead conversations with confidence, clarity, and panache.
