What do these have to do with us? They’re places we’ve loved and supported over the years. But we watched as their customers dwindled until eventually, two of these businesses shut down.

It’s why we started Cultured Creative—to help businesses like yours, that promote authentic cultural experiences, get the visibility you deserve.

With over 100,000 travel and hospitality businesses, it’s easy to feel lost in the crowd. 

After investing in marketing that doesn’t pay off, you still struggle to explain why customers should choose you! Worse, you lose sight of your original goal: to drive cultural awareness and ensure your community benefits from tourism.

Grow your culturally rooted business with a strategic partner

We understand what makes travel and hospitality brands stand out.

With over a decade of experience building brands and traveling across continents, we’re here to help overwhelmed founders like you. Together, we’ll uncover and express your unique value, so the right customers find you.

Our focus is on adding value to people and creating an ecosystem where your brand can thrive. Think of us as your in-house allies, guiding your small business as you scale up.

Sarah O. Vidal

Founder | Strategist & Creative Director

I’m a Nigerian American obsessed with cultural exploration. During my travels, I’ve seen local restaurants, lodges, and tour operators struggle to gain visibility. That’s what inspired me to start Cultured Creative. With 10 years of experience in corporate branding and marketing, I help founders uncover what makes their businesses unique, so they can grow into brands people love. This way, they focus on sharing their beautiful cultures with the world. When I’m not building brands, you’ll find me traveling with my camera or diving into Bong Joon-ho films.
