7 live collabsTour operators, hotels and brands across New Orleans — every brand running a creator program right now.
New Orleans is a goldmine if your feed leans into luxury travel, high-energy tours, or gritty, authentic street photography. You’ll find a solid mix of high-end hospitality brands like Four Seasons and Loews Hotels alongside niche operators such as New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tours and Mysterious Adventures.
Most partnerships here center on content exchanges for room nights or complimentary tour slots, though established creators with strong engagement can often negotiate flat fees. Because the city relies heavily on seasonal tourism, brands are usually most active in the lead-up to peak festival seasons and the temperate spring months.
It varies by brand. While hotels like Old77hotel or Loews often look for content-for-stay trades, specialized tour operators may offer commission-based affiliate deals or flat fees for high-quality video content.
Not necessarily. Niche tour operators prioritize creators who can capture high-quality aesthetic footage of the swamp or local landmarks over raw follower counts.
Pitch 6-8 weeks before the shoulder seasons (spring and fall). Brands here are highly reactive to event calendars like Jazz Fest or Mardi Gras.
Absolutely. A popular strategy is to secure a hotel partner for accommodation while pitching individual tour operators for activity coverage to create a complete itinerary.
Short-form vertical video (Reels/TikToks) that highlights the experience of the tour or the atmosphere of the property is currently the most requested deliverable.
