“Work in travel,” they said. You never know where it might take you. ✈️

Apparently, that includes riding horses through Costa Rica, trying archery in Punta Cana, playing pickleball with a pro, kayaking across Papagayo Bay and taking a bungee fitness class.

Filing these away under: things we never thought we’d do for work BUT are very glad we did.

Luxury has a new address, and a very talented group of neighbors.

Our latest media placement in Maxim highlights how Elite Island Resorts is helping position Antigua as the Caribbean’s next creative capital through its "Antigua Is My Island" initiative.

The feature brings together the stories that make this destination more than a beautiful place to stay: local musicians and artists, a gathering of more than 100 creatives at The Verandah Resort and Spa, and new cultural experiences at Hammock Cove Antigua that connect guests with the people shaping Antigua today.

Some partnerships are just meant to be. This one was in the cards. 🫶🏻

We brought Secrets Resorts & Spas and together to create {THE AND} Away, Together, a first-of-its-kind collaboration inviting couples to trade small talk for something a little deeper.

Through limited-edition conversation cards, thoughtful prompts throughout the resort, and creator partnerships that brought the campaign to life, the experience gives new meaning to Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection promise: Time Here Is Worth More.

Now connecting at several Secrets Resorts & Spas locations, with more destinations to come.✨

We put Costa Rica on the Jamba menu. 👀

Our latest partnership brings together Jamba, the upcoming comedy Spa Weekend Movie and Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica for a campaign that turns an everyday smoothie run into a chance to escape to paradise.

The result? One juicy partnership, one dreamy destination and a spa weekend that sounds heavenly.

Earlier this summer, we traded beach days for mountain views and headed north with a group of media + creators to experience Summer Reimagined at Club Med Québec-Charlevoix.

The four-month summer program gives a whole new meaning to an all-inclusive escape, swapping ski season for hiking trails, outdoor wellness, creative workshops, locally inspired dining and plenty of time to take in the Charlevoix landscape.

Our group got a taste of it all — from hiking and yoga to watercolor painting, memorable meals and the kind of shared experiences that inevitably end in a new group chat.

As summer starts to wind down, we’re looking back at a few of our favorite moments from a trip that proved this mountain resort deserves just as much attention when the snow melts.

New title, same talent for spotting the right creator from a mile away. ✨

Big congratulations to Brianna Venturini, our newly promoted Influencer Marketing Manager! 🎉

Her philosophy? The best campaigns don’t feel like campaigns, follower count doesn’t equal influence, and creators should always have room to do what they do best: tell the story their way.

After years of building creator relationships and bringing our resort clients’ stories to life, this next chapter feels like the perfect fit.

Congrats, Brianna! The new title looks good on you.

“Whether you’re a pickleball pro or a novice at racket sports, you’ll find no more beautiful place to pick up a paddle than at The Verandah Resort and Spa."

A big thank you for this wonderful feature for our client.

Pickleball in Paradise: The Verandah Antigua Is Where Luxury Meets Leisure This all-inclusive gem in the Eastern Caribbean Sea offers the perfect mix of tranquility and adventure.

Turns out knowing your niche is kinda chic.

So is making a passport an office essential. ✈️

84% of couples who rate their marriage “excellent” travel together regularly. Coincidence? We think not.

In honor of National Honeymoon Day, we brought together (the brand behind the holiday) and our client , a resort made for romantic escapes.

The partnership invited couples to share the honeymoon stories they still love telling for the chance to keep the honeymoon going with a getaway to Punta Cana.

By pairing Honeyfund’s community with Lopesan Costa Bávaro’s romantic travel experience, the campaign celebrated real couples, inspired future trips and gave both brands a natural way to connect around a moment that means something to their audiences.

Today, one couple gets to start their next chapter in paradise.

Breakfast at Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica starts with a chorreador.

Not what most people picture when they hear all-inclusive.

Congratulations to our client Secrets Papagayo Costa Rica, featured in Food & Wine on all-inclusive resorts that are all about the food.

Executive Chef Bryan Quiros built the culinary program around what is actually Costa Rican — Gallo pinto anchoring the breakfast buffet, a different local beverage every morning + appretados by the pool in the afternoon.

That is what happens when a culinary team leads with a real sense of place. 👏
