5 live collabsBrands, hotels and dmos across Rio de Janeiro — every brand running a creator program right now.
If you’re heading to Rio, your content game needs to match the scale of the city. We’re seeing a solid mix of high-end hotel partnerships like the Radisson Hotel Group and boutique stays, perfect for creators who focus on lifestyle or luxury aesthetics. If you’re more into experience-driven content, SAIL IN RIO is actively looking for creators to document their outings on the water.
Most of these opportunities rely on trade-for-stay or activity models, though some brands are open to paid projects if your portfolio shows high engagement with a Brazilian or travel-focused audience. Keep your pitch tight, emphasize your visual style, and highlight how you’ll capture the specific energy of the city to get these brands interested.
Not necessarily. Brands like My Boutique Hotel prioritize high-quality visuals and engagement over massive follower counts. A strong portfolio showing you can create professional-grade video content carries more weight.
It’s a mix. Many hospitality brands lead with complimentary stays or experiences, but they are often open to negotiating paid deliverables if you provide a clear content strategy that benefits their specific marketing goals.
Reach out at least 4 to 6 weeks before your trip. These brands get high volumes of requests, so securing your spot early ensures you have time to finalize the scope of work.
Focus on your ability to capture action-oriented, aesthetic content. Mention the specific equipment you use, like drones or action cameras, and offer to provide raw clips in addition to your polished social posts.
Pitching the specific property usually gets a faster response. Use the local brand contact to demonstrate that you’ve done your homework on their specific location and vibe.
