Discover Mission Bay DMO Promo


2024 Silver Award - Commercials - Craft: Best Videography & Cinematography

The challenges around this project align with what makes Mission Bay such a unique destination! The logistics of coordinating between 6 waterfront resorts, 3 theme parks, and several dining outlets along 27 miles of shoreline in 1 week’s time was… challenging to say the least, but nothing our producers couldn’t handle. The result was a high-energy, all-inclusive asset that the tourism authority could use for years to come. Worth it!

Bahia Resort Hotel (Ultimate Beach Vacation)


2024 Gold Award - Online Film & Video - Craft: Best Use of Videography & Cinematography
2024 Silver Award - Online Film & Video: Travel & Tourism
2024 Silver Award - Commercials - Craft: Best Videography & Cinematography
2024 Silver Award - Online Film & Video - Craft: Art Direction

This project was inspired by the nostalgic, child-like sense of excitement for a much-anticipated family vacation. We wanted to immerse the audience in the midst of a core family memory being made. To translate this visually, we used a selection of custom, rehoused Canon FD lenses from the 70’s to give us a more textural image, softer contrast, and warm flares. This combined with immersive shot design created a feeling akin to a memory of a sun-soaked vacation at the bay.

The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas


2024 Gold Award - Online Film & Video - Craft: Editing
2024 Gold Award - Online Film & Video: Travel & Tourism

If you’re considering a vacation, let this video serve as the final push you need to book that trip. When the Winners were announced last year at the Davey Awards, this video was highlighted by the AIVA team alongside other projects that stood out to them. “Maybe it’s the 54-degree weather where I live, but 226 Productions’ video for The Westin Los Cabos Resort Villas has stolen my heart. The captivating visuals of sun-drenched beaches and luxurious villas have me daydreaming of a getaway. It’s impossible to watch without feeling the urge to book a flight!” Thanks, Kari!

New Brand Photography for Hyatt Vacation Club

2024 Silver Award – Digital Content – Branded Digital Campaigns: Travel & Tourism

This project was a result of our incredible partnership with Marriott Vacation Worldwide. When they acquired Hyatt Vacation Club in late 2023, they tapped our creative team to help develop HVC’s visual identity. Through close collaboration, we established HVC as a colorful, energetic, approachable, and most importantly, family-focused brand.

Our photo galleries were implemented across social media, digital, onsite collateral, and of course, the new brand guidelines deck that was distributed across properties for the official rebrand.
