Welcome to
the New South
Southern destinations have changed and so have the best methods for sharing their new stories. Travelers want to search videos that demonstrate the "vibe" of a destination.
How and where they're searching is where destinations and attractions need content that's worth exploring. New South Creative combines traditional research, expert knowledge, and machine learning to inform the creative process and content strategy. We invite you to check out a few examples of our work.
Launching a New Attraction
During development, Southall Farm and Inn wanted to spark interest with the national travel press with a media kit and website that included video.
To present the property in its best light, we leaned into the relationship between talent, emotional storytelling, and creative angles. An informal poll of interested guests showed that the video delivered on the sizzle.
