Lindsay Lyon, Ocean Guardian’s CEO says, “Over the coming months we have a strategic plan to transition the brand and company from Shark Shield to Ocean Guardian. In order to retain consumer confidence in the products we have deliberately decided to keep Shark Shield in the tagline which will be used in all communications and on pack.”
The rebrand will see the new logo and website ocean-guardian.com launch today, while product packaging will roll out over the next six months. In addition to the rebrand, Ocean Guardian will be introducing category based deterrent technologies covering; surf, dive, boat, and beach.

Our initial focus will be on the eastern seaboard of NSW and WA, plus Florida, Hawaii and California in the US,” said Lindsay.
To assist with awareness of the new branding and name, Shark Shield have also appointed Banjo as their media buying agency in 2018.
