Brand partnerships

Stories that put a brand in the right room

Partners appear inside the story, on the boat and at the table, instead of in an ad break around it. Then we put the episode in front of the audience the brand needs.

A Tech Week episode, a dinner and a time capsule

Hamptons Tech Week · Season Two, Episode 1

Hamptons Tech Week brings together the founders and investors Adobe Acrobat wants to reach. Chefs Dennis Prescott and Anastasia Ganias settle the raw-vs-cooked oyster debate, from a dawn trip out of Montauk to a harvest at South Fork Sea Farmers. At dinner, every guest recorded a prediction for 2031, and Acrobat turned the room's answers into themes shared with each guest. The episode then became a panel on the Tech Week main stage.

A clean-tech story told from a fishing boat

From Waste to Water · Season Two, Episode 2

Aduro turns hard-to-recycle plastic back into chemical building blocks. Instead of a corporate video, we took CEO Ofer Vicus offshore with MLS Commissioner Don Garber and AstroTurf's Rob Mitchell. Over a day of fishing, the conversation turns to what happens to plastic next. The episode premiered during the 2026 World Cup, with a campaign aimed at investor audiences.

A founder and her product, met at the same table

A founder's story · Season One, Episode 3

Viewers meet Anastasia Ganias on the boat and taste Fancy Peasant at dinner. Across three episodes her olive oil and vinegar are part of the cooking, and the recipes live on this site. Every post is co-published by the show, the brand, the host and the guest, so each one reaches all four audiences.
