FOR YOUR NEXT CHAPTER

A reason to watch.
A reason to go.

Let people experience a stay before they arrive. Yaye meets the people who make a place, joins in and asks the questions a guest would ask. Harrison turns those encounters into a collection of films with a clear sense of the property.

One property.
A complete series.

The welcome, the food, the people and the experiences. Each chapter can stand alone or be watched as a collection.

Useful beyond
the first post.

Films for social, a hotel’s own website, newsletters and the conversations that turn an enquiry into a stay.

A small crew.
A personal approach.

Yaye presents, writes and produces. Harrison directs, films and edits. The people on screen are the people who know the place.

THE NOMAD AUDIENCE & MEDIA

An audience.
A campaign behind it.

The films are the starting point. NOMAD brings its travel audience; Rooted can put the stories in front of relevant travellers through a tailored paid-media campaign.

01 / THE STORIES

Harrison & Yaye.

Travel publishing with a route from the story to the stay. Enquiries, a bookable offer and reporting agreed with the property.

Campaign duration, advertising spend, placements, usage and booking arrangements are scoped for each project. Print and newsletter placements are agreed separately.
