SIDE PROJECTS 🎥 COLLABS 🎥

“COME ALONG FOR ____”
A brand platform + visual campaign for a local biz on Portugal’s wild coast.

Overview
What started as a chat with the founder of a water-sports adventure lodge turned into a full creative rebuild. I relocated to Portugal to embed myself in the brand’s world, living the experience and pulling insights straight from the source.

The lodge needed to stand out, to break free from the same-old “people having fun” edits. So, flipped the script and built a brand around real experiences: raw days, real guests, actual vibes.

That became a complete rebrand and a campaign platform built around a simple, open invitation: Come along for ___

A blank to be filled by whatever people actually found there: Adventure. A reset. Community. Pizza nights. New friends. Side quests. Good vibes 🤙

TT: The Ocean Spirit

The Ocean Spirit is the little character in the lodge’s logo. During the rebrand, it needed more presence and clarity, so it came to life as a character that lives at the lodge and enjoys the local vibe. The video follows its day heading to the ocean. From the lodge to Burgau, walking through the village, vibing around, saying hi to locals, and getting into the ocean.
