Past Collaborations

Sky Dive Taupo, Taupo, New Zealand

With 15,000 feet between us and the ground, we partnered with Skydive Taupล for a cinematic, high-altitude experience. The story focused not just on the jump, but on fear, trust, and what it means to feel free. Paired with scenic aerial shots and post-jump reflections, the content amplified Skydive Taupลโ€™s brand as a must-do experience for those visiting the North Island.ย  You can see the video also placed on their company website: https://taupotandemskydiving.com/skydive-tandem/

Oxbow Adventures, Queenstown, New Zealand

This place was next level. We partnered with Oxbow to showcase all three of their core experiences in one wild dayโ€”jet sprint boating, off-road buggying, and clay bird shooting.

But we didnโ€™t just film itโ€”we lived it. From getting whipped around a custom jet boat track at breakneck speed, to taking on a full-throttle off-road course, to feeling the pressure with a shotgun in hand, this shoot was one of the most action-packed weโ€™ve ever done.

Since posting, weโ€™ve gotten tons of messages from people saying itโ€™s now at the top of their New Zealand bucket list.

Shangrila Resorts & Koj Resorts, Skardu, Pakistan

In one of the most remote and rugged places weโ€™ve ever explored, we found unexpected luxury.

We partnered with Shangrila Resort and KOJ Lodges to showcase a different side of Skarduโ€”high-end hospitality in the heart of untouched nature. Instead of a hard sell, we wove both properties naturally into our travel story and blog coverage of the region, letting the experience speak for itself.

The result? Viewers were surprised, curious, and inspired. It felt less like promotionโ€”and more like discovery.

Douro Valley Wine Tour, Douro Valley, Portugal

This started as a 7-hour wine tastingโ€”and turned into a 16-hour adventure with strangers who became lifelong friends.

We highlighted the Douro Valley Wine Tour experience not through a scripted review, but by living it fully and sharing it through our lens. The beauty of the region, the energy of our guide Bruno, and the power of connection over wine were all naturally threaded into the story.

The video and blog didn’t feel promotionalโ€”it felt like a memory. Thatโ€™s what made it resonate and drive attention to one of Portugalโ€™s most unforgettable experiences.

The Zorb, Rotorua, New Zealand

This was pure, unfiltered fun. We teamed up with ZORB Rotorua, the birthplace of downhill ball rolling, to experience their wildest tracksโ€”like the MEGA, the steepest and fastest in the world.

Instead of a scripted promo, we just captured the chaos: slipping, sliding, and laughing uncontrollably inside a giant inflatable ball filled with water. It was like being inside a human washing machine, and our audience loved every second of it.

The video showcased the thrill of ZORB Rotorua in a way that felt genuine and relatable, sparking interest and conversations among viewers looking for their next adventure. Honest and unfiltered!
