THE NEXT CHAPTERS
Room for the next weekend away.
FOR YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
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.
The welcome, the food, the people and the experiences. Each chapter can stand alone or be watched as a collection.
Films for social, a hotel’s own website, newsletters and the conversations that turn an enquiry into a stay.
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
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.
NOMAD-reported figures from its Media Kit 2026. Audiences overlap. The 2025 revenue figure covers NOMAD’s whole platform; it is not a result or forecast for an individual campaign.
Hosted films, conversations and photography that give a property a distinctive collection of its own.
Audience research, paid promotion and analytics. A campaign shaped around the agreed markets, budget and guest response.
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.


YOUR HOST
An American-born writer and producer from the African diaspora, now at home in Lamu. A foodie who loves people, travel and a good conversation.
From the Seychelles to the Cape Winelands, the best part of a trip is often the person you meet along the way.
THE CREW
Yaye hosts, writes and produces.
Harrison directs, films, photographs and edits.
ADD PHOTOGRAPHY TO THE STORY
Rooms with character. People at work. A sense of place.
Build a stills collection alongside the films.
Selected work from Harrison’s portfolio. Photography can be scoped as an optional addition to your project.
LET’S MAKE YOUR WEEKENDER
A stay worth discovering.
A series worth coming back to.
We plan the chapters around the property, its people and what makes a weekend here different. The shoot, episode count and formats are agreed together.
