From The Founder

Media is easy to buy.
Trust isn’t.

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.

Channel 02 — Partner Content

A real story, not a script.
Content that earns the read.

Partner Content is Karryon's branded content offering. Sponsored stories, destination features, and native articles written by our editorial team — indistinguishable in quality from our own journalism, and clearly labelled as partner content.

Partner Content Feature

Native content that performs.

Travel advisors trust Karryon's editorial voice. A Partner Content story inherits that trust — meaning advisors read it, share it, and remember it. Average time on a Partner Content article: 3.3 minutes.

Our editorial team works from your brief, develops the story angle, writes the copy, and publishes it within our content stream. You review and approve before it goes live. It's genuinely collaborative.

01 · The Opportunity

Trade media is noisy.
Conversation cuts through.

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.

03 · The Audience

The people who sell travel.
And the people who lead it.

Karryon exists to connect the travel industry.

When the Check In talks, it talks directly to the distribution channel that sells your product.

Trusted by the industry.

Matt Leedham

Founder, Karryon · Host, The Karryon Check In

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.

01 · The Opportunity

Luxury is surging.
Trust is the currency.

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.

07 · How It Works

Four steps. Zero heavy lifting.

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.

01
Pick your moment
Bring your launch, announcement or story, and nominate the leader from your team who will join Fiona as the guest.
02
We shape the conversation
Fiona and the Karryon team develop the angle and the questions. A real conversation, not a script or a blatant ad, so it earns the audience's trust.
03
Record and review
One long-form session, studio-quality audio and video. You review the essentials before anything goes live.
04
Lift off, everywhere
Your episode launches across the full Karryon ecosystem, then keeps working as an evergreen asset.

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.

Apple Podcasts Spotify
Into The Hearts of Canada Art

Built for the Australian
trade. Set in Canada.

The commercial case for the trade audience.

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.

How advisors use Karryon
  • Discover new products, itineraries, and destination updates to pitch to clients
  • Stay current on industry news that affects booking conversations
  • Find events and training opportunities to develop their specialist skills
  • Connect with supplier and destination contacts they don't yet know

Reach specialist advisors, not just the mass market.

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.

General material notes.

  • All materials must be submitted via email to partnerships@karryon.com.au or via Dropbox link — no WeTransfer links please
  • Materials submitted after the deadline may result in the campaign being pushed to the next available booking window
  • Karryon reserves the right to reject creative that does not meet quality standards or conflicts with editorial values
  • For HTML5 display ads, all assets must be self-contained or hosted on a fast CDN — no third-party calls that may delay load
  • For questions about specs, contact us before building creative — we'd rather answer a question than have you rebuild an asset
Questions about specs?

We'll answer before your studio starts.

Most creative questions are faster resolved with a quick email to our partnerships team than by guessing from a spec sheet. Reach out before your studio starts building.

Karryon Events — 2026

The case for
the room.

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.

Not a trade show.
Something much better.

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.

The Audience

Advisors who've chosen a lane — and own it.

01
The Deep Specialists

Category Experts

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.

02
The High-Value Bookers

Revenue Producers

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.

03
The Emerging Voices

The Next Wave

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.

What your
partnership includes.

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.

  • Confirmed attendance at the Niche Is Nice program event (date and format TBC annually)
  • Structured 1:1 meeting time with invited advisor attendees
  • Shared dining and informal networking within the program schedule
  • Pre-event profile feature on Karryon.com.au — introducing your brand to attendees
  • Post-event editorial coverage and partner highlights story
  • Social content from the event across Karryon's channels
  • Access to the Karryon Niche Is Nice advisor database for post-event follow-up
  • Partner listing in the Karryon Niche Is Nice program guide

How It Works

The program, step by step.

01
Apply
Contact our partnerships team. We'll check your product category against current availability and the 2026 advisor cohort to confirm the right fit.
02
We curate your matches
The Karryon team pre-matches you with the advisors most likely to sell your product. Meeting schedules are built around alignment, not just availability.
03
The program
One or two days of structured and unstructured time with your matched advisors. Meetings, shared meals, and the kind of conversations that turn into bookings.
04
Follow-through
Post-event editorial coverage, contact introductions, and a Karryon-brokered follow-up window. The event is the start — not the end.
"The travel industry is built on relationships. Niche Is Nice is where those relationships start."
Matt Leedham — Founder, Karryon

Apply for the 2026 program.

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.

Niche Is Nice — Program Moments
Karryon Events · Custom

Your brand. Our audience.
An experience they remember.

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.

Event Formats

Start from a format. Build from your brief.

01
Intimate

Advisor Roundtable

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.

Sydney · Melbourne · Brisbane · Perth
02
Announcement

Product Launch Event

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.

Capital city or regional — your call
03
Immersive

Famil & Activation

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.

Domestic or international

Every Brand Experience includes Karryon's editorial voice.

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.

Karryon adds across every experience
  • Pre-event editorial announcement on Karryon.com.au and eDM
  • Live social coverage during the event across Karryon channels
  • Post-event story — editorial coverage of outcomes and highlights
  • Advisor testimonials and soundbites for your own marketing use
  • Post-event metrics report across all channels
Brand Experience Event
How It Works

Bespoke doesn't mean complicated.

01
You brief us
Tell us your commercial goal, your target advisor profile, your timeline, and your rough budget. A 30-minute call is usually enough to know whether we're right for each other.
02
We design the experience
The Karryon team proposes a format, advisor curation approach, venue shortlist, and editorial amplification plan. We show you what the room will look like — before we commit.
03
You approve, we execute
Once signed off, we handle everything — logistics, invitations, run-of-show, editorial. You show up and focus on the relationship. We handle the rest.
04
We deliver the echo
The event generates editorial, social, and email coverage that runs for weeks. The story of what happened in the room becomes the content that influences everyone who wasn't there.

Investment.

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.

Typical starting range

Advisor Roundtable (10–15 advisors, dinner format, metro city)

Product Launch Event and Famil & Activation packages are scoped individually — contact us for a proposal.
