The full picture
Everything a partner needs to assess the fit
Move through the dossier or jump directly to the application. The audience facts, forecasts and commercial terms are deliberately separated so the evidence stays clear.
A focused media partnership
Relevance before raw reach
Marine and wildlife audiences are difficult to reach credibly through general advertising. The series combines subject knowledge, trusted guests, original production, community distribution and transparent reporting in one practical pilot.

The public network comprises two Facebook communities, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Only previous guests and upcoming guests with recorded publication consent are named publicly. Calendar bookings are not presented as sponsor inventory.
Host and producer
Nick Long
Nick is the producer and host of Orca Group Series and trades as Born Global Marketing. He brings together marine experts, conservation voices and an international enthusiast community, then turns those conversations into accessible long form interviews and short stories.
He also administers the 117.4K member Orca community and the emerging Marine Life Marvels group. Partners deal directly with Nick from first discussion through the written order, production and delivery report.
The Orca Group Series
Original conversations about the ocean
The series is an Irish produced interview and short form media project focused on orcas, marine science, conservation, field experience and responsible ocean storytelling. It gives specialists room to explain their work in their own words, then makes the strongest ideas accessible across video and social channels.
Mission
Make credible marine knowledge accessible, connect a global community with the people doing the work and build a sustainable independent media series without compromising editorial trust.
Values
Respect wildlife, guests, communities and the limits of what the evidence shows.
Sponsors never control guest selection, questions, answers or editorial conclusions.
Name and publish guests only within the permission they have provided.
Label commercial involvement clearly and report what was actually delivered.
Give the audience a worthwhile story and the partner a measurable, bounded asset package.
Public guest proof
Previous conversations include Hanne Strager, Mark Leiren-Young, Alessandro De Maddalena, Róisín Pinfield and Roy Balvert. Upcoming interviews currently cleared for public naming include Agnese Lanzetti, Andy McLeod, Craig Matkin, Ted Cheeseman, Hannah Clayton, Dr Naomi A. Rose, Prof. Kenna Harmony Rubin, Monika Wieland Shields and Thevarit Svarachorn.
Upcoming participation remains subject to recording, production and final release gates. A confirmed date is not a promise that an episode will be published.
Guest participation is evidence of editorial history. It does not imply that a guest endorses any sponsor.
Facebook groups and social channels
A connected marine media ecosystem
The Facebook communities create topic depth and discussion. YouTube is the long form home. Instagram and TikTok extend discovery through clips and concise marine stories. Each platform is reported separately so audience overlap is never presented as extra reach.
