Current Awards Honor Marine Industry Influencers

Last month the first-ever Current Awards were held to honor the hard work of market influencers and the hours dedicated to creating their channels. The event hosted marine professionals, providing them opportunity to network with influencers and create connections that go beyond the ceremony.

The winners of the 2020 Current Awards were chosen in three categories. Saltwater was won by Josh Jorgensen, the main face behind ​​BlacktipH Fishing​​, a primary YouTube channel with more than 2.5 million followers. Sailing and Cruising was won by Billy and Sierra from​ ​“Tula’s Endless Summer” ​who have a YouTube Vlog about their sailing travels around the world. The Yachting category was won by ​​Jared Watney​​ for his content as a full-time megayacht crew member published on a YouTube vlog covering all his experiences working on a yacht.

Those who came to the event got to see in person the power and passion behind influencing–the personalized shift in marketing.

The Current Awards have been created and managed by Social Navigator to honor the efforts of social media professionals to influence boaters and the marine market. Social Navigator also puts out a monthly email, “What’s Current,” and weekly blog on its website highlighting trending influencers and their content.
