Our Story
We are Mark and Judith from Travelmonster Media. We are two Creative Directors from the Netherlands. Started in 2017 but leaving our management careers definitively behind in 2019, we have been traveling the world as Fulltime Content Creators ever since, fueled by our sense of wondering and wanderlust.
Fired by a deep desire to see and experience more. We have made a conscious and dedicated decision to live life as an adventure. We are committed to showing everyone the planet’s raw and unfiltered beauty. And we combine that commitment with a strong passion to inspire by an environmentally conscious and ethical approach to luxury and sustainable travel.
And so Travelmonster was born, a brand that celebrates traveling, creating, and environmental responsibility at the same time. What started as a small international travel community on SocialMedia slowly but steadily grew into what now falls under the Travelmonster Media Group.
For almost five years we have been creating content for the greatest brands in the world in the sustainability, luxury travel, destination marketing, and lifestyle branch. In order to maintain and uphold the strong connection with our following we only work with brands we love, that are genuine, that we stand behind, and that fit into our travel and lifestyle vision.
In these five years, we have had the luxury of growing our loyal and fun online travel community to a combined total of over 300.000 followers, which is growing daily. It is our continued mission to bring travel experiences to life in deeper, richer, and more meaningful ways.
Professional Content Creation
We provide professional Content Creation Services for a very specific branch. We have unique expertise in Luxury Travel, Sustainability, Travel & Lifestyle and Destination Marketing. Our team always consists of a minimum of two persons and maximum of 6 persons which greatly enhances our flexibility to create faster or more content pending on potential time sensitive requirements that may exist based on seasonal occupancy.
Photography and Videography Projects
Every project starts by discussing your idea’s and the core values of the business. Then we determine the goal and the platform for which we will create content. This will help us set video duration, the inclusion or exclusion of models, size of our team and guides us to the portrait or horizontal format. In our next step we start on a moodboard and shotlist based on the idea’s we collectively come up with
Print Media
Package will be optimized for high resolution photo’s in an even mix of portrait and horizontal content. All Content can be adjusted to the copywriting. We will make more close-ups of mood objects, food and staff. We can make full written articles and brochures as well
Website
All Content will be focused on desktop and mobile versions of the website. Content and format will be adjusted to the website. Content has the goal to be more informative potential clients. We can potentially build you a landing-age, website or newsletter as well.
Social Media
We will capture powerful video reels, images and storytemplates with potential high impact specifically tailored to the fast paced nature of social media.
Rights and Licensing
Before we start the project the model rights will be signed by us. Music can be chosen from a few platforms and depending on the choice can be a surcharge. The licensing for the images and video will be signed and tailored to the purpose and time period for which they are created.
You spotted I am not a balloon. In fact I am a location indicator and this is Cappadocia. You are smart! You should work with us.
Our Distinctive Creative Vision
We aim to make our content resonate with people. It must feel close, achievable. Giving people the feeling of ‘That could be us’ is a leading principle. We want it to click. ‘Why am I not there, right now? ’Therefore the Creative Direction has to guide us towards beautiful, but not fake. The subjects in the content are allowed to be pretty, but not supermodels. It has to be tastefully colorgraded, but not overly photoshopped, plastic or too cinematic moody. All too often we see editors go overboard and go either too saturated or exactly the opposite with desaturated cinematic moody visuals. We believe in a more subtle and timeless Creative Vision.
Colorgrading and Editing
Maybe you already have a lot of content right on the shelves. But it is not ready to be used yet. Our team can help you with Colorgrading and Editing to match your brand’s style or help you create a new Creative Direction. We have colorgrading presets that you can buy or you can show us the look and feel, you are looking for and we make you your own brand preset package.
Our Social Media Platforms
Our Social Media platforms are ever increasing. After laser focusing our Instagram platform for the past year our next step will be to grow our channels on other platforms too. We can grant brands exposure on all our platforms for micro-campaigning. We will explain the ways in which we can set this up on the platforms we offer.
Instagram Campaign
For a micro-campaign we will capture images, video’s and storytemplates to promote your business to our Instagram audience. We also try to get it reposted as much as possible to increase your exposure.
Blog Post or Hotel Review
We have reviewed over 70 Luxury Hotels and Villa’s all over the world on our website www.travelmonster.nl It is also possible to get dedicated blog posts detailing tours or activities while highlighting the experience with your business.
Visitors to our website often come from our Instagram and are looking for more information. They are warmed up and your potential next clients. For product promotion articles we have the condition that we only work with articles that we would actually use and make sense and our opinion is not contractually binded. You’d be surprised how many times brands try to lock our opinion in a contract.
Sponsored Video
If you want to launch a new product or want to put your hotel top of mind right before the summer or winter? A sponsored video may be a great idea. We can produce and co-launch the video with your brand and make sure it gets some attention. Video’s can for example be made for Youtube, Instagram Video or Reels.

Content Licensing
In many cases, we deliver beyond the scope of a project. That means that during our projects we come up with ideas, set up couple settings, and shoot additional content that wasn’t part of the original assignment. It is possible to license this content by purchasing our content packages. An example of the work we have done for our partners. We have licensed our clients for various projects ranging from images that are used on websites, booking.com, magazines, books to of course on social media.
License Options
For every specific need we have a license option. Depending on the scope of the project we can define which one suits you best. It is also possible to upgrade your license in a later stage.
For Social
This is the most popular option. Brands who use this option are allowed to use Content we create on their Social Media platforms.
For website, magazine or printed media (own channels)
If you are looking for Content with more flexibility regarding your usage rights this is the right option. With this option you can use the content in every way except external use or reselling.
External use, Commercials, Billboards, printed media (channels not owned)
In case you want to use Content for external channels, like commercials, billboards and printed media that is not owned, we have a third option. In this option we license your brand for the usage purposes you are looking for with the exception of reselling.
