I Help Adventurous Brands Tell Stories & Distribute Them
I work with a limited number of travel & outdoor brands who want to weave real experiences throughout their marketing using storytelling.
Whether through long-term partnerships or one-off projects, the focus is always the same: honest, narrative-led content that reflects the people and places we adventure.
-
A launch is a story with a deadline. Most brands treat it like an announcement. The best ones treat it like a beginning.
Rather than a single hero shot or a one-day shoot, I build the narrative around your product before, during, and after launch — showing what it does in the hands of real people, in real places, doing real things.
Because nobody buys a product. They buy what the product makes possible.
These partnerships typically include:
Photo + video built around the product in its natural environment
Story-driven content that leads with experience, not specs
Assets for web, social, and campaign use
A content arc that carries momentum past launch day
Best for brands that want their product to mean something — not just sell something.
-
Your ambassadors are already living the story. I just show up and document it.
Rather than fabricated campaigns or one-off shoots, I embed with your athletes and ambassadors — on the route, in the field, deep in the season — and build a body of work that reflects what they actually do.
This is long-term storytelling for brands that know their people are their best content.
And it works both ways. When an athlete's story is told well, their personal brand grows too. More reach, more credibility, more value — for them and for you.
These partnerships typically include:
Photo + video from real athlete and ambassador trips
Story-driven content built around their actual experiences
Content the athlete can use across their own platforms
Consistent visual language across a full season or campaign arc
Flexible production that follows the athlete, not a rigid brief
Best for brands whose ambassadors are worth following — and who want content that proves it.
-
Expeditions don't wait for perfect conditions. Neither do I.
I embed with teams heading into the field — remote climbs, open ocean crossings, overland traverses, polar expeditions — and document the full arc of what it actually takes to get there and back.
This isn't adventure tourism content. It's the real thing. The planning, the hardship, the moments nobody staged, and the ones nobody expected.
I've worked across all seven continents. I know how to move in the mountains, function in the cold, and keep shooting when things get hard. The gear works. The body works. The story gets told.
These partnerships typically include:
Full expedition documentation — photo and video from start to finish
Real-time content for social during the journey
Long-form film or photo essay on the back end
Distribution strategy built around the Follow The Journey framework
Content the brand, the team, and the athletes can all use
Best for brands, teams, and organizations doing something worth documenting — and who want someone who can actually keep up.
-
Some stories can't be told in a single shoot. They need time, distance, and the kind of moments that only happen when you stop rushing toward the end.
I build long-form brand narratives for companies that have something real to say — a founding story, a shift in direction, a decade of work worth documenting, a community worth showing the world.
This isn't a highlight reel. It's the full arc.
These projects typically include:
Multi-day or multi-location documentary-style production
Photo and video woven into a single cohesive narrative
Long-form brand film or series
Supporting assets for web, social, and campaign use
Distribution strategy to make sure the story actually reaches people
Best for brands that have earned a story worth telling — and are ready to tell it properly.
-
Great content dies without a plan to get it in front of people.
Most brands invest heavily in the shoot and almost nothing in what happens after. The result is incredible work that gets posted once, performs okay, and disappears forever.
I've built a proprietary distribution framework — Follow The Journey — that phases content release across four stages to generate sustained organic reach without paid media. It's driven over 1.1 million views in a single 30-day window across LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, and newsletter.
I consult with brands on how to apply this framework to their existing content and upcoming projects — so the story doesn't just get told, it actually gets seen.
This typically includes:
Audit of current content distribution and where it's falling short
Custom Follow The Journey strategy built around your brand and platforms
Content phasing plan from pre-trip through long-form release
Guidance for your internal marketing team on how to post with context and authenticity
Optional ongoing consultation as the campaign rolls out
Best for brands that are already creating good content — and are tired of watching it go nowhere.

My Principles
Lived Experience Over Staged Content
The work starts with being there.
Time in a place, real conditions, real moments—this is where the strongest stories come from. The goal isn’t to manufacture content, but to document something that actually happened.
Story First, Always
Every project is built around a narrative.
Whether it’s a campaign, a film, or a body of work, the focus is on creating something cohesive—something that holds attention because it means something.
Depth Over Volume
Fewer, better projects.
I work with a select group of partners to build work over time—allowing for consistency, trust, and a stronger point of view.
Built to Last
The goal isn’t just content for now.
The work is created with longevity in mind—imagery and stories that can live beyond a single campaign, and continue to carry value over time.
