A DM PRODUCTIONS WEB SERIES
Watch the trailer!
I am reaching out to you today with an exciting opportunity to collaborate on a web series, created by DM Productions, that showcases the breathtaking beauty, lifestyle and thrilling adventures of the Okanagan region. I'm Dave Mai, a passionate Okanagan-based filmmaker and photographer, specializing in captivating storytelling. Since 2007 I’ve owned and operated a media production company based in Penticton BC.
Our web-series will be based on YouTube, which is the second largest search engine on the internet (after its parent company, Google). Using keywords, SEO, and paid advertising and social media to promote this series, we market your business and products in a genuine and lasting way. Content uploaded to Youtube has a longer shelf-life than other social media platforms and certainly has greater longevity than a billboard or radio ad… This is an effective and alternative way to stand out from the crowd. We offer additional perks for being a partner, such as custom-created content that you will own and can use in your branding and advertising.
Our target market are people who love to have adventures and spend time outdoors. They are local, have visited the Okanagan before or are considering our valley as a future destination.
By collaborating with us, your business will benefit from:
Compelling Video Assets
Stunning Photography Assets
Product Placement
Authentic Storytelling
Unique marketing assets that are custom created for your brand.
Increased Visibility
Below are some episode outlines and If you have an idea for an episode, we would love to collaborate! A partnership info pdf can be downloaded below. Let's create an engaging visual narrative together that showcases the wonders of the Okanagan. If you're interested, let's meet or jump on a call and discuss further.
Thank you for considering this partnership, and I look forward to working together.
Sincerely,
Dave Mai
