The Insider Guide is one of Compendia’s flagship storytelling formats — a cultural portrait that spotlights a local creative (artist, maker, designer, musician, or entrepreneur) and the independent cafés, restaurants, and neighbourhood gems they love.
Each Insider Guide tells two stories at once: the journey and inspirations of the featured creative, and the local culture that shapes them. The result is authentic, editorial-style content that celebrates people, place, and community.
As a brand, tourism board, or destination partner, you can feature within an Insider Guide through:
Product placement — e.g. a clothing brand dressing the creative, a hotel providing the backdrop, or a lifestyle product being naturally used in their studio.
Sponsorship — aligning your name with the series and supporting its production, while being positioned alongside culture-shaping creatives and independent businesses.
This is a chance to embed your brand into authentic cultural storytelling, reaching conscious, design-minded audiences through Compendia’s platform and distribution.
4 days of production
A professional video and blog feature blending your brand with the cultural landscape of the city
Copywriting and storytelling crafted for cultural and brand resonance

Creatives receive exposure and promotional assets.
Local businesses and destinations gain organic visibility.
Brand partners connect with audiences through a story rooted in community, culture, and purpose.
