For the past 28 years Wendy Verna has run Octo, a full service marketing firm. Over the last three years, we began noticing a consistent pattern across organizations: while our marketing efforts were successfully driving engagement and interest, many teams struggled to convert that momentum into meaningful sales and sustained growth. We dug deeper and found the issue was not a marketing problem – it was an under-developed life-skills problem – not only in the office, but within society as a whole.
That discovery led Octo to launch Seagrass.
Seagrass is not a traditional training, lecture or activity. A Seagrass REALM (Real-life Experiential Adaptive Learning Module) is a high impact, live-fire, immersive, and fun experience designed to build essential skills. Participants navigate real-world challenges under pressure, with the use of actors, props, sound, lighting, smells, emotions, and real-time decision making. Seagrass engages them emotionally, making knowledge stick and creating uniquely interactive and memorable events. The experience creates full engagement and a powerful sense of belonging. It’s an environment where people enter as individuals and leave as a team!

Have you ever said…
That is exactly what Seagrass delivers. Participants leave in awe. They talk about the experience long after it is over. More importantly, they leave having practiced the under-developed skills we learned were at the center of the issue, in such a unique and enjoyable format, that it sticks!
