Project Overview
In June of 2025, Cartesian traveled to Huntsville for a two-day, high-energy shoot at Deerhurst Resort, Muskoka’s iconic playground.

Our objective: create raw, emotional, and exhilarating campaign content that spotlights every getaway possibility; from mountain biking and pickleball, to gourmet dining and helicopter rides.

The result was a cinematic suite of hero ads, micro-vids, and vibrant photography that made audiences crave a stay. All content was designed to ignite engagement across organic and paid social, driving new bookings and deepening brand love.
