Taking on the Ocean....a Media Superstar...Ocean Media - Hillary Buckman

1 hour 15 minutes

Hillary Buckman is the Founder and Managing Director of Ocean Media Australia - including Ocean and Sails magazine, Great Southern Route Superyacht Guide and the Ocean Club.

There’s plenty of energy in this episode, which Hillary and I recorded whilst enjoying a glass of Lallier Champagne on her stand at Sydney Boat Show. We have a great laugh together and even though I count Hillary as a friend I learned so much about her - so you will too.

Hillary is a powerhouse in yachting media and is known for throwing lavish events which everyone always enjoys.

Established in 2005 as a boutique publishing house, Ocean Media has grown into a contemporary, progressive company focused on bringing the highest-quality print and online journalism to the Australasian premium yachting industry. Her magazine “Ocean” feels divine to the touch and enhances any superyacht interior with it’s graceful covers.

With a dedicated in-house team and industry-leading journalists from all over the world contributing to their editions, Ocean Media pride themselves on their comprehensive editorial, exceptional design and photography, and incisive news and reviews. The Ocean Media experience extends well beyond their magazines to their presence online, which includes websites for each title, e-newsletters and social media feeds.

I know you’ll enjoy this episode as we explore not only Hillary’s story but also current trends, challenges and insights into the yachting industry.

Thanks Hills, this was fun. x
