3.5 million monthly touchpoints. One highly engaged audience — Australia's travel advisors, managers, and industry leaders. Partner with Karryon to put your brand at the centre of every conversation that matters.
I started Karryon more than a decade ago with a simple belief: the people who sell travel deserve a media brand that backs them — one that informs, celebrates and champions the trade every single day.
123+ brands trusted Karryon in FY2026
Australia's travel trade, covered daily.

We don't do banner farms or spray-and-pray. Every partnership is purposeful, editorial, and built around your commercial goal.
Our audience reads Karryon because we tell the truth. That trust transfers directly to partners who appear in our editorial environment.
Not a general consumer audience. Travel advisors, agency owners, and industry professionals — the people who make booking decisions, daily.
Every partnership includes post-campaign reporting across all channels. We don't just reach your audience — we show you the proof.

"Our editorial team writes every Partner Content story with the same care as our own journalism. We don't do advertorials that read like press releases — partners come to us because our audience can tell the difference."
— Matt Leedham, Founder

Sharp, fifteen-to-twenty-minute conversations with the leaders shaping travel, hosted by Karryon founder Matt Leedham, and carried across every channel Karryon owns.
One exclusive partner per episode. Every channel working for you for optimal influence.
Travel professionals are drowning in repetitive press releases, AI summaries and algorithmic feeds, and starving for perspective. The more powerful the algorithms get, the more a real human conversation is worth. The Check In bets on the thing machines can't fake: two people, fifteen minutes, and the questions that actually matter. And for partners, it is the most credible seat in trade media: not an ad next to the story, but a place inside it.
The Check In piloted in 2025 with industry heavyweights and the big themes: AI, overtourism, the future of the advisor. Now it becomes a regular, partner-backed series with a sharper format, full video, and an amplification engine behind every episode.
Karryon exists to connect the travel industry. That mission built Australia's most engaged travel trade community: advisors, agency owners, mobile consultants, wholesalers, airlines, cruise lines, tourism boards and the executives who run them. When the Check In talks, it talks directly to the distribution channel that sells your product.
Every partner episode is built as a full content campaign. The conversation is the asset; the Karryon ecosystem is the engine that carries it to the industry, again and again.
This is not spray-and-pray media. It is a concentrated, professional audience that lives inside the travel industry, reached through channels Karryon has spent more than a decade building.
These are influence numbers, not vanity numbers. Every download is a travel professional who chose to spend real time with your brand, and every asset stays live, so the totals only move one way.
The full Check In partner kit is available as a deck — built for forwarding to your team or printing to PDF.
View the Partner Deck ↗Partnering on an episode is deliberately simple. You bring the story; Karryon does the rest. The Check In goes out weekly, and your episode slots into the schedule to meet your deadline, so your moment lands exactly when it matters.
Matt created Karryon because he felt the trade media needed more colour and depth in its voice, and the industry deserved better. Thirteen years on, that same instinct drives the Check In: ask the questions everyone is thinking, keep it human, and respect the listener's time.
For partners, that means your story is told in a credible voice the industry already trusts, in a conversation people actually choose to listen to. That is a different kind of attention to anything an ad can buy.
Long-form conversations with the people redefining luxury travel, hosted by revered industry leader Fiona Dalton, and carried across every channel Karryon owns.
A limited series. One exclusive partner per episode. Every channel working for you for optimal influence.
High-end travellers have never spent more, and the advisors who guide them have never mattered more. In a world of AI summaries and algorithmic feeds, a real conversation between people who know luxury inside out is the most credible media there is. For partners, Luxury Unpacked is a seat inside that conversation: not an ad next to the story, but a place in it.
What does luxury travel really mean today? Season One asked exactly that across eleven in-depth episodes: wellness, cruising, hyper-personalisation and the power of the advisor. Season Two is a limited series with a sharper format, full video, and an amplification engine behind every episode, and partnership is by invitation.
Karryon exists to connect the travel industry. That mission built Australia's most engaged travel trade community, and Luxury Unpacked speaks to its most valuable segment: the advisors and leaders behind high-end travel.
Every partner episode is built as a full content campaign. The conversation is the asset; the Karryon ecosystem is the engine that carries it to the luxury trade, again and again.
A concentrated, professional audience that sells and shapes high-end travel, reached through channels Karryon has spent more than a decade building.
Downloads are Season One actuals, still climbing; editorial and social figures are conservative estimates. These are influence numbers, not vanity numbers: every download is a travel professional who chose to spend real time with your brand, and every asset stays live.
Season Two presenting partner, themed multi-episode arcs and network-wide arrangements are available for brands that want to own the luxury conversation. Talk to us about a tailored package.
View the Partner Deck ↗Partnering on an episode is deliberately simple. You bring the story; Karryon does the rest. Episodes release weekly in season, and your episode slots into the schedule to meet your deadline, so your moment lands exactly when it matters.
Fiona Dalton has spent 34 years in travel, much of it leading the luxury end of the industry, and brings the trust and relationships that make leaders open up. Season One drew voices from Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Kamalaya, Journey Beyond, Captain's Choice, Ponant and Regent Seven Seas.
For partners, your story is told in a voice the luxury trade respects, in a conversation people choose to listen to. That is attention no ad can buy.
This is an exclusive invitation to a limited series: one partner per episode, and when Season Two's slots are gone, they're gone. If you want your brand in the room where luxury travel talks, start here.
Hosted by Matt Leedham, Into The Hearts of Canada takes Australian travel advisors on a journey through Canada's destinations, operators, and stories — equipping them to sell with genuine conviction.
Into The Hearts of Canada was created specifically for Australian travel advisors who want to go deeper than the standard product training. Interviews with Canadian tourism operators, destination specialists, and industry figures — told through an Australian advisor's lens.
If your brand operates in Canada — or sells experiences there to Australian advisors — this is the most targeted partnership opportunity in the Karryon network.

Karryon is an independent travel media company, built in 2013 on trust, authority and people-led storytelling. We're a deliberate counterpoint to the noise — a small, expert team that exists to connect the industry through the power of travel.
Matt founded Karryon in 2013 to give Australia's travel trade a media brand it could trust — informed, human and genuinely on its side. He leads the company's editorial vision and hosts The Karryon Check In.
As General Manager, Dani leads Karryon's commercial and operational strategy — across partnerships, production and people — keeping the business focused on real outcomes for the brands and advisors it serves.
Carolyn works alongside Karryon's partners to shape campaigns that hit their commercial goals, matching brands to the right mix of editorial, social, events and podcast channels.
Mark helps steer Karryon's editorial coverage, shaping the daily news agenda and the stories that keep Australia's travel advisors informed and ahead of the industry.
Gaya leads Karryon’s feature writing — crafting the long-form stories and editorial deep-dives that give the travel trade context, colour and perspective beyond the daily news.
Brooke keeps Karryon’s campaigns moving — managing production across editorial, social and podcast so every partner project lands on time and on brief.
Alicia produces Karryon’s content across channels, turning briefs and ideas into polished stories, videos and campaigns that land with the audience.
As Creative Content Producer, Cassie develops and produces Karryon's creative content — bringing partner stories and campaigns to life across video, social and editorial.

Our partnerships team is happy to discuss your campaign, recommend the right mix of channels, and put together a tailored proposal. No fluff, no hard sell — just honest advice on what will work.

The core Karryon reader. Retail travel advisors and independent consultants who sell travel products daily. They read us to discover what's new, understand how to sell it, and stay ahead of industry change.
Business owners and agency managers who control staff training, preferred supplier agreements, and booking policies. When they discover a product on Karryon, it reaches their entire team.
Tour operator sales and product teams, destination marketing professionals, and senior industry executives who read Karryon to monitor the industry and reach advisor audiences of their own.
A consumer who reads Escape might book a holiday. An advisor who reads Karryon sells hundreds of them — across a career, to hundreds of clients. The commercial multiplier is not comparable.
Travel advisors don't browse our content for entertainment. They read it as a professional tool. When they encounter your brand on Karryon, they're in product discovery mode — actively looking for things they can sell, destinations they can recommend, and partners they can trust.
Within the Karryon audience sits a growing community of specialist advisors — professionals who have built their entire practice around a single category. Luxury. Expedition. Cruise. Africa. Diving. These are the advisors your sales team should know — and the ones most influenced by trusted editorial.
Through Niche Is Nice and the Karryon editorial program, we can help you reach these specialists directly — not as a number in a reach figure, but as a named relationship in a curated room.
We share detailed audience insights with prospective partners. Contact us to request the Karryon Media Pack.

partnerships@karryon.com.auKarryon Events are designed to do one thing: create genuine connections between suppliers and specialist travel advisors in a setting where real conversations happen. No spray-and-pray. No trade show chaos. Just the right people, in the right room.
Australia's only curated hosted-buyer event for specialist travel advisors and the suppliers who want to reach them. Intimate. Purposeful. Commercial.
Roundtables, product launches, advisor dinners, and activation days — designed around your brand and our audience.
Digital is powerful. But the relationship that closes a booking — the kind that becomes a repeat booking, a referral, and a brand evangelist — starts in person.
Karryon Events exist to manufacture that moment. We bring the audience, design the environment, and provide the editorial echo that extends the impact long after the event ends.
Limited spots available for 2026. Talk to us about Niche Is Nice or a bespoke brand experience.
Australia's only curated hosted-buyer program for specialist travel advisors. Your brand, face-to-face with the advisors who sell the world's most interesting products.
Niche Is Nice is Karryon's hosted-buyer program for Australia's specialist travel advisors — the professionals who build their entire business around a category. Diving. Expedition. Luxury Antarctica. River Cruising. Africa. They're not generalists. They're obsessives.
Supplier partners join the program to get direct access to that expertise and passion — not in a booth at a busy trade event, but in a designed environment where the conversation can go deep.
Advisors are invited based on their niche alignment and booking history. There are no walk-ins. Every seat at the table is earned.
Advisors who work exclusively in one or two categories — cruise, expedition, Africa, diving, luxury, adventure. Their clients come to them because they know more about that niche than any generalist.
Advisors selected for their booking volumes in their specialist category. These are the people your sales team already knows — and the ones they haven't met yet who move serious numbers quietly.
Karryon's Next Gen Network members and rising specialists — the under-35 advisors building a niche-first practice from day one. Get in front of them early.
Niche Is Nice is a commercial partnership, not a sponsorship. You're not buying a logo on a banner — you're buying access to a curated room of specialists who could transform your sales pipeline.
Pricing varies by category, meeting allocation, and additional inclusions. Contact us to discuss availability in your product category.
Spots are limited and allocated by category. The sooner you apply, the more likely we can confirm category availability — and the stronger your pre-event profile placement.
Not every brief fits a packaged product. Brand Experiences are bespoke event partnerships — designed around your commercial goal, your timeline, and the specific slice of the Karryon audience you need in the room.
10–20 hand-picked advisors. A facilitated conversation about your product, destination, or category. Structured enough for outcomes, relaxed enough for honesty. Dinner format or half-day workshop.
Launch a new product, itinerary, or season to a room full of the advisors who will sell it first. Keynote or demo format, Karryon editorial coverage built in, social live from the event.
Take a small group of Karryon-selected specialist advisors on-product. We design the narrative arc, create the editorial coverage, and deliver the kind of genuine advocacy that no ad budget can buy.
A Karryon Brand Experience isn't just event management. It's the event plus everything that makes it resonate beyond the room. Before, during, and after — your brand is in the Karryon editorial stream.
Brand Experience partnerships are priced on brief. Format, advisor numbers, logistics complexity, and editorial inclusions all influence the final number. The honest answer is that a well-designed round-table dinner with 15 specialist advisors and Karryon editorial coverage is within reach of most annual partner budgets.
