If seafood wants to reach a different audience, we need to market seafood differently...
And that’s exactly what we’re doing.
A brand story is only as strong as the people who hear it…
If you want to connect with the right audience—the ones who will not only buy but advocate for you—you need to own your narrative and show up where they are.
We help our clients do just that, engaging the next wave of consumers, decision-makers, and industry leaders.
But we’re not just thinking about today…
We’re thinking long term…
We’re building visibility not only for today’s seafood buyers but for the generations that follow. Because when people grow up with seafood, and appreciate the innovations that support it, they’re with you for life.
With our market awareness, agility, and diverse expertise, we help businesses in seafood and beyond stay ahead of the curve.
And yes, we’re going to have a ton of fun doing it.
Our passion
goes deep.
We’re reinventing how we tell the seafood story. The creation of InnaSea Media represents our shared passion as storytelling specialists to redefine the future of seafood communication.
While hailing from historically different sides of the seafood industry – Bri from wild fisheries and Emily from aquaculture – we’re united by a common purpose: to shift the narrative surrounding seafood to one that embraces collaboration over competition.
The future of the seafood industry depends on unity, creativity, and a commitment to changing the narrative. Our vision is to bring seafood harvesters, value-chain supporters, innovators, and purveyors together to create a sector wide movement that transforms consumer perceptions, inspires a new generation of seafood enthusiasts, and drives positive change within the industry.
The seafood industry has spent way too long running behind bad press and misinformation narratives. We’re done with just keeping up; it’s time to level up.
Emily De Sousa
Co-Founder
Emily De Sousa is an award-winning fisheries scientist, content creator, and all-around seafood powerhouse. She’s best known for her influencer platform, Seaside with Emily, where she’s reeled in a loyal crew of followers eager to dive deeper into the world of sustainable seafood.
Currently based in Niagara, Emily's roots trace back to the Açores Islands in Portugal, and her insatiable wanderlust has led her to explore over 30 countries with seafoodie stories in mind.
Armed with a master’s degree from the University of Guelph specializing in small-scale fisheries in North America, Emily doesn’t just talk the talk—she’s walked the docks. From engaging with businesses and NGOs to consulting with international heavyweights, her expertise spans the seafood supply chain in both wild fisheries to aquaculture. You might’ve seen her name drop in some heavy hitters like Good Morning America, The Globe and Mail, National Post, and SeafoodSource—just to name a few.
As co-founder of InnaSea Media, Emily’s mission is straight-forward and ambitious: turn up the volume on seafood storytelling, spark knowledge-sharing across the industry, and make everyone fall in love with fish (and the people who bring it to our plates).
Target Audiences: Seafood Consumers, Seafood Industry, Foodies and Travellers
Bri Dwyer
Co-Founder
Bri Dwyer is a Pacific Northwest local with nearly two decades of experience working as a photographer and producer. Her long career as a visual storyteller has had many layers but her most notable work is based in Alaska’s commercial fisheries. With her background in marketing and film production, Bri has supported clients from concept to the creation and execution of visual assets.
Her passion for seafood comes from her experience working on boats alongside her husband in the Puget Sound and in Alaska. “I’ve done wheel watches, chopped bait, hauled pots and scrubbed tanks. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty right alongside you.”
Her vision for the future of seafood is rooted in the inclusivity of both sectors - wild capture and aquaculture. She believes the two must come together to create a stronger, more cohesive communications strategy to create new seafood eaters and wishes to bring fresh perspectives to the industry that maintain relevance with younger audiences.
