The Overlander — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 06:29:58 +0000

I really love couch surfing.
It has helped me find local people to feature in my videos.
It has helped strengthen my belief that we are all the same, regardless of cultural differences.
Looking back over my travels, it is wonderful to watch the videos featuring couch surfers.

Branded Travel Video Content – The best online marketing solution

The Overlander — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 19:33:52 +0000

Branded content (where the marketing is not “heavy handed” and is “almost a bi-product”) is the most effective form of online marketing according to a October 2010 report by the CMO Council.

The future of branded content by goviral in Cannes 2010

Most people are not aware that travel programs on television almost exclusively feature branded content. That is, all the tours, motels and restaurants highlighted, have actually paid for the privilege.

This can lead to an extremely dull viewing experience, where everything the presenters review has to be seen in a flattering light. This is not a realistic travel experience!

In the online arena, viewers want honesty, they want to know the people behind the business, their passions and what differentiates them from the crowded tourism marketplace.

Overlander.tv have established themselves as one of youtube’s top performing travel channels. Our videos use a documentary style format whereby we feature local business people as experts in their field, providing viewers with information as to why they should visit their regions.

An opportunity exists for progressive businesses, working in the tourism sector, to feature on overlander.tv. To either personally promote their business in a short business profile video, or to feature as a short segment in Overlander.tv’s successful ‘Meet a Local’ location guides.

Downloadable Travel Videos at Overlander.tv

The Australian leg of the ‘Meet a Local’ Series is now available online in downloadable format.

Learn about popular Australian tourist destinations by meeting a local person and discover why they like living where they do.

The series is broken up into half hour programs and is a fantastic gift for those wishing to visit Australia, or those wishing to show the folks back home exactly what Australia and Australians are all about.

The downloadable videos are in quicktime .mov format and are roughly around 300mb in size. The videos have been optimized so as they will look fantastic on your widescreen television. Despite being in a compressed format, the quality is spectacular.

I have decided to offer downloadable videos because they are the greenest way to watch media. There is no need to produce or post anything, and you can be watching a download within minutes, depending on your internet connection.

Love to hear your comments, what location most appealed to you, who was the most interesting character?
