Wood's Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is a marine research institution that relies on private donations to fund ambitious ocean exploration and research. A rebranding is proposed to update WHOI's outdated brand image and inspire increased interest and donations. Strategic actions include producing an epic documentary of WHOI's ocean footage, securing underwriting on National Public Radio to attract informed donors, and providing immersive research experiences for donors. These actions aim to demonstrate WHOI's innovation and increase both private funding and government grants.
