  2. How we work

Your place has a feeling.
Your feed should too.

How we turn the atmosphere of a Phuket hotel, restaurant or beach club into a visual system, then into a content plan and a finished Instagram feed that people recognise at a glance.

Slide 1: Your place has a feeling. Your feed should too. Guests at a sunny beach-club table by the sea.
Slide 2: Good posts, missing direction. Six strong but unrelated posts: cocktail, seafood, disco ball, pool, shell, beach.
Slide 3: Research, find the feeling. Audience, atmosphere, food and music at the beach club by day and night.
Slide 4: Visual direction, give it a language. Drift Bay logo, a five-colour palette and texture references.
Slide 5: Content production, shoot with a plan. A camera operator filming a bartender, with food and party shots.
Slide 6: The finished feed. One place, one recognisable world: a nine-post Instagram grid in one consistent style.
Slide 7: Let's make your brand feel like somewhere. Creative direction, photography, film, AI advertising. DM PRESENCE to @mustacheengineer.

Drift Bay is a fictional beach-club concept made to show our process. All imagery is illustrative, not a client project.

The idea

Your place has a feeling.

People don't book a table or a room, they book how it's going to feel. Your feed is the first place they feel it, so it should look and sound like being there.

From good posts to one recognisable brand

Most Phuket venues we meet already post good photos. What's missing is a shared direction, so each post stands alone and nothing adds up to a brand. These four steps fix that.

Research

Find the feeling

We start with the experience people should remember. We spend time at your venue, talk to your team, look at who your guests actually are, and study what your competitors in Phuket are posting.

Audience. Atmosphere. Food. Music. We write down what makes your place yours.

What you get

  • Instagram, TikTok & Google profile audit
  • Competitor review for your area
  • Guest profile: who books, and why
  • A one-page brand feeling summary
Visual direction

Give it a language

Next we turn that feeling into rules anyone can follow: colour, type, texture and light. The result is one visual system with room to evolve, so every post, menu and story looks like it came from the same place.

What you get

  • Mood board & colour palette
  • Typography & graphic templates
  • Photo and video style guide
  • Logo refresh, if you need one
Content production

Shoot with a plan

Every shoot day has a shot list built from the direction: the place, the people, the food, the details and the venue after dark. We combine photography, film and AI-assisted design, so one day on location fills weeks of posts.

What you get

  • On-location shoot anywhere in Phuket
  • Reels, photos & short brand films
  • Edited, colour-graded & captioned
  • AI-assisted visuals for campaigns
The finished feed

One place, one recognisable world

We plan the grid, write the captions and post on a calendar, so your feed feels like the experience. Then we track what works each month and keep it evolving with the seasons, from high season to the green season.

What you get

  • Content calendar & grid plan
  • Captions, hashtags & posting
  • Profile & bio optimisation
  • Monthly results report

Three rules on every project

Direction before content

We don't shoot until we know what the brand should feel like. It's faster, cheaper and the work holds together.

Local and on location

Based in Phuket, so we can be at your venue for golden hour and after dark, and meet face to face.

Honest numbers

No fake followers or vanity metrics. Monthly reports show reach, saves, messages and bookings.

Let's make your brand feel like somewhere.
