Destination Marketing with Video to Boost Tourism and Promote Your Hotel

May 1, 2018

Destination marketing with video focuses on boosting tourism, and attracting more potential guests to the area. Through destination marketing, hotels are able to reach out to potential guests while they are still considering destination options or researching things to do in a place they’ve decided on. It’s an opportunity to become known to that guest and provide them with something valuable well before they’ve even heard of your competition.

Where to Start: Video Marketing Tips for Luxury Travel

Video Killed the Radio Star,Social Media Marketing

April 17, 2018

In this blog, we’re applying the lessons of video marketing specifically to luxury travel, and answering the biggest question that clients have when they come to us: where do we start?

When luxury travel clients come to us, the first thing we recommend is that they ensure they have a fantastic set of images that they’re completely happy with. Images are the most important visual marketing asset you can have, and most of the time should take priority over other initiatives, including video.

April 3, 2018

On Tuesday, February 6 2018, SpaceX successfully launched the Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful operational rocket in the world. The livestream of the launch received over 2.3 million concurrent views, and was the second largest live streaming event in YouTube’s history. This Falcon Heavy launch is not a bad testament to marketing with video.

However, it wasn’t the Falcon Heavy itself that dominated reporting on the launch, or that captured the imagination of so many viewers. It was the rocket’s payload: a 2008 Tesla Roadster, complete with a dummy astronaut called “Starman”; David Bowie blasting on the speakers; a message on the dashboard that read “Don’t Panic”; and “Made on Earth by Humans” printed on a circuit board.

Is That Photo Real? Why There is No Reality in Photography

Social Media Marketing

January 12, 2018

“That’s A Nice Photo, Was It Edited?”
This is a sentence that many photographers, particularly hotel photographers, will have heard. A lot. While it seems straightforward, the questioner is often actually asking, “is this photo genuine?”, and the answer to that is a lot more complicated than a simple yes or no. It’s more of a philosophical shrug. Is there reality in photography?
