Local Food Cruise Video Production —
99% Thumb-stop Campaigns

Strategic Insight

The Expedition Series was one of the highest performing campaigns in brand history. But how do we replicate that performance? We went to the data and Seabourn guests are also driven by dining. They care deeply about food—but it also must be destination-rich and part of the journey. And it starts with premium ingredients and quality.

By identifying what drives the guest, we built the local food series around common ground.

System We Built

To build off the performance of the Expedition Series, we designed a culinary content system — ensuring that each asset worked seamlessly together across paid media, digital, social, CRM, and in-destination channels.
