Book the trip

Nothing is booked until the dates and the shot list are agreed. If you need the footage to be yours outright, or you want it amplified through our own channels, the two packages below do that and this one does not.

What you get

What is included, and what is not

The rows that say not included carry this page. A trip happens once and the light on the day cannot be ordered again, so what is and is not in scope has to be settled before anybody books a flight.

Every figure on this page reads live from the shop, and the currency and tax position is stated here rather than left to the checkout screen. Prices are in pounds sterling and no VAT is added. If you are ordering from outside the UK your card issuer sets the exchange rate, and anything due in your own country is outside our invoice.

Included

What the price covers

  • Eight edited ReelsVertical, graded and captioned, ready to post the day they arrive rather than a folder of clips somebody still has to cut.
  • A stills libraryShot alongside the video on the same locations, so the campaign looks like one campaign rather than two suppliers.
  • A licence you can advertise againstPaid media rights with a stated term, so the media buyer never has to ask what is permitted.
  • Two people, not a crewOne shooting and one producing. That is why a destination shoot at this price is possible at all.
  • A shot list agreed before we flyBuilt from what you need to promote rather than from what happens to look good on the day.
  • Organic use with no end dateThe Reels keep working on your own channels long after any paid term has run out.

Why this tier exists

Most destinations have never tested short form properly

  • The usual comparison is not like for likeA destination weighs a creator trip against a production company quote and reads only the two numbers. The difference is a crew, a schedule and a rights negotiation, and for eight Reels none of the three earns its cost.
  • One trip tells you what a season would doEight Reels across a handful of locations is enough to see which sites, which times of day and which framings your audience responds to. That answer shapes the next brief far more than the footage itself does.
  • Short form is where destination discovery happens nowA saved Reel is a shortlist entry. That is a different job from a brochure film and it is filmed differently, which is why this package leads with Reels rather than adding them to a feature.
  • We will say when a destination needs longerSome places cannot be covered in a short visit, and a rushed set is worth less than no set. If that is yours, you hear it before you book rather than after.

The two things that decide the tier

Rights and what they let you do

Rights are the question every destination brief opens with and most creator quotes answer last, so they are answered in full here rather than as a row in a table.

Included

Paid media rights

Organic use on your own channels plus paid media rights for 12 months from delivery. Stated as a term with an end date rather than as a vague permission, which is where most creator agreements come apart.

  • Paid social across Meta, TikTok and Google
  • Paid search, display and out of home
  • Organic on your own channels continues afterwards
  • The same licence on the stills and the Reels
Not at this tier

Buyout and resale

You license the footage rather than own it. If the content has to be passed to regional partners, operators or a third party campaign, that is a buyout and it starts one tier up.

  • No outright ownership
  • No sub-licensing to operators or partners
  • A stated term instead, renewable on request
  • Full Destination Feature owns the footage outright

How it works

Order to delivery in four steps

  1. BookAdd the package above and it goes straight to your basket. Nothing is scheduled until we have spoken.
  2. Agree the briefSend the destination, your target markets and the sites that have to appear through the contact page. We reply within one business day.
  3. Travel and shootWe agree dates, you arrange what you cover, and we shoot to the list with time built in for weather.
  4. ReceiveEvery Reel and the full stills library arrive by shared Google Drive after the trip.

Dates are agreed before anything is invoiced beyond the package itself, and we hold them once confirmed. You cover return travel and accommodation for two, plus meals on shooting days. Cancellation or a date move inside 21 days of departure means the travel already booked is not recoverable, so tell us as early as you can and we will move rather than cancel wherever the airline allows it. We travel worldwide: destinations outside the UK and Europe are routine and are quoted the same way, with the longer notice period the only difference.

What you cover, and what it is notYou cover return travel and accommodation for two, plus meals on shooting days. There is no day rate, no crew charge and no expenses invoice afterwards: the package figure above and those travel costs are the whole of it. We book in your name or ours, whichever your finance team prefers, and we send the options rather than the receipts.
The terms, in plain EnglishThe rights you get are set out above and they are the whole of it. We keep the right to show the work in our own portfolio, which is how the Travel and Experiences portfolio exists at all. Weather is the one thing nobody controls: if a shoot day is lost to it we extend the trip where the schedule allows and reduce the deliverable count in writing where it does not, rather than hand you a set filmed in the rain and call it complete. Everything here is the plain reading of the full terms and conditions, which govern if the two ever disagree.

Compare

The other two packages

Same creator and the same standard on every tier. What changes is the direction, the hook count, the rights and whether the raw footage comes with it.

The full side by side sits on the Travel and Experiences portfolio, and finished work sits on the Travel and Experiences portfolio. Every other category is in the main shop.

Bespoke

More than one destination, or a whole season?

Some destination briefs do not fit a package. A region rather than a single site, several properties across one trip, a campaign that has to land on a fixed press date, or a repeat visit each season so the same place is shown in more than one light. When that is the shape of it we scope the work rather than pushing you into the nearest tier.

Quotes are prepared individually. Send us the shape of the problem and we come back with scope, timings and a fixed figure, usually within one business day.

  • Regions rather than single sites
  • Several properties in one trip
  • Fixed press and campaign dates
  • Seasonal repeat visits
  • More than seven days on location

Questions

Before you order

In practice

Where the entry tier is the right call

Who buys this one

Regional tourism agencies, smaller destination marketing organisations, and travel brands testing whether creator content belongs in the mix at all. It is also the sensible first purchase for a large board that wants to see the working before committing a season.

What a good destination brief contains

The markets you are trying to reach, the three or four sites that have to appear, the season you are selling, and anything that cannot be filmed. That last line saves more time than the other three together.

What happens after the first trip

Most destinations that start here move to Full Destination Feature for the following season, because by then they know which sites work and want the footage outright. Velena shoots and edits every Reel and her work has been featured in Women's Health. See finished work on the Travel and Experiences portfolio, or tell us the destination. We also shoot for individual properties rather than whole destinations, which sits on the hospitality content page, and the wider agency record is on the case studies page.
