The Wandering Santiagos

I make the reel that makes someone book. Resort stays, family travel and destination guides, shot the way guests actually experience a property.

What I make for properties

Every deliverable is shot on location during the stay and edited to the hook-first format that carries on Reels.

Property reels

30–45 second vertical films: arrival, room reveal, pool, dining, the detail people screenshot. Trending audio, on-screen hooks, captions written to convert — plus drone footage where it's allowed in the area.

Collab posts

Published as a collaboration so the reel lives on your grid and mine, and every view, save and share lands on your account too.

Stills & stories

Edited photography and a real-time story series during the stay — room tour, amenities, location tips — all with your tags and links.

How a partnership runs

I run a marketing agency day to day, so you get a shot list before I arrive, drafts before anything publishes, and real numbers two weeks after.

Brief

You tell me the rooms, amenities and season you need to fill. I come back with the hooks I'd shoot.

Stay

I shoot on location across the stay and post live stories so your account gets traffic that weekend.

Approve

Edits and captions come to you before anything goes live. One round of revisions included.

Publish & report

Collab posts go up on both accounts. Two weeks later you get the views, saves, shares and reach.
