COMMISSIONED RESEARCH
Thought Leadership
When trust decides deals, credibility becomes your best campaign.
Independent, exclusive research authored by Thetius, built on six years of proprietary data and hundreds of industry interviews. The credibility your brand cannot manufacture in-house, and the commercial outcomes that follow it.
WHY THOUGHT LEADERSHIP WINS
Independent research your buyers trust. Credibility your competitors cannot replicate.
01Â
The credibility halo
When Thetius publishes research, the industry reads it. When your brand is associated with that research, the credibility transfers. That’s not something you can manufacture in-house, it comes from our independence and six years of trust with the market.
02
Cited by the industry
Thetius research is referenced by the IMO, the World Bank, and at the highest levels of the maritime industry. When your brand commissions our research, it enters that conversation. Decision-makers who already trust Thetius encounter your name in a context that advertising can never replicate.
03
Reach the right people
Thetius has built a network of 10,000+ maritime technology leaders, decision-makers, and industry stakeholders. When your research publishes, it goes directly to the audience that matters, through our channels, our relationships, and our reputation as a trusted source in the industry.
90%Â
In B2B today, buyers reach 90% of their decision process before ever speaking to a supplier. The companies shaping the research conversation are the ones shaping buying intent. Thetius Thought Leadership positions your brand where buyers go to learn, before they go to market.

We discuss your goals, your audience, and the conversations you want to lead on. We’ll advise on topic selection, scope and timeline.
Â
Research and report production
Thetius conducts the research independently — surveys, expert interviews, data analysis, and peer review. You are involved throughout, with input on framing, direction, and key themes as the research develops. The findings are yours to review before publication.
Launch, webinar, and campaign
We publish the report with a live launch webinar and run a 16-week integrated campaign — 4 weeks of pre-launch promotion, the launch event, and 12 weeks of post-launch content reaching Thetius’s 10,000+ network of maritime leaders.
Â
Permanent visibility
The report lives permanently on Thetius.com, continuing to generate downloads, search visibility, and inbound interest long after the campaign ends. Partners reference their Thetius research for years.

EVERYTHING ELSE
Frequently Asked Questions
A white paper is written by a supplier about their own area of expertise. Thetius research is written by independent analysts with no stake in the outcome. That independence is what makes it credible, buyers read it differently, media cite it differently, and your brand benefits from being associated with it rather than having produced it.
Â
Any topic relevant to maritime technology where there is a genuine industry question to answer, decarbonisation, AI adoption, autonomy, digital transformation, cybersecurity, connectivity and more. We will advise on framing to ensure the research has real value to your audience and stands up as independent insight rather than a sales tool.
More than you might expect. You brief us on the topic and audience, you have input on framing and direction as the research develops, and you review the findings before publication. Editorial independence stays with Thetius, but this is a collaborative process from start to finish.
Permanently on Thetius.com, hosted within our Intelligence Hub alongside all of our other research. It continues to generate downloads, search visibility, and inbound interest long after the campaign ends. Partners regularly reference and share their Thetius research for years after publication.
