Questions we hear first.
How do we start?
A short discovery conversation about your goals, audience and constraints. We then send a proposal with deliverables, responsibilities and a timeline.
Do you work outside hospitality?
Yes. Hospitality is a focus, and we also work with retail and consumer brands, corporate and public-sector organisations.
Do you publish prices?
We quote each project in USD or in MVR, whichever suits you, and we do not convert between them. Request a proposal and we will send a scope with pricing.
What is a retainer?
A monthly agreement with a measured set of deliverables, such as reels, photos and posts, and a planned number of days on site. Every scope is tailored to your property.
Can I try the work first?
For resorts and guesthouses, start with a paid Discovery Shoot or Discovery Visit.
Can you build systems as well as content?
We design custom CRM, workforce, maintenance and monitoring systems for operationally complex teams. Scope is agreed after a paid discovery.
