Our Recent Work

Marriott Bonvoy partnered with Whitcombe James to document an unforgettable Marriott Bonvoy Moments experience in Grand Cayman, featuring Dylan Efron and more than 20 loyalty members. From sailing the Caribbean and swimming with stingrays to exclusive culinary experiences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, our team captured every moment while working within highly limited access windows. We delivered a full suite of social-first films, campaign photography, same-day press imagery and a hero recap film for both social channels and Marriott Bonvoy TV. Despite the scale of the activation, the majority of assets were produced and delivered within 48 hours, demonstrating the speed, agility and efficiency that define our small team approach.

Following Marriott International's acquisition of citizenM, Whitcombe James was entrusted with producing the brand's first content under Marriott ownership - a strategically important project involving key stakeholders across both organisations. With citizenM renowned for its bold, social-first creative, the brief required content that would honour the brand's identity while introducing it to a new chapter under Marriott. Over an intensive four-day production, our team developed and delivered 15 highly creative social films, an extensive library of b-roll for ongoing agency use, and a carefully curated suite of campaign photography. The imagery was subsequently used across demand generation activity promoting the newly acquired brand. Whitcombe James is proud to support citizenM's content production, helping maintain the high standards they are known for, while also introducing a confident, new visual direction within the Marriott portfolio.

One of our most ambitious productions to date, Whitcombe James spent three weeks travelling across Barcelona, Porto and Cancun to create a major content suite for Renaissance Hotels. The project combined complex international logistics, local casting, multi-city permitting and meticulous pre-production planning to ensure every shoot day delivered maximum value, wherever we were in the world. Working with team and talent across two continents, our crew produced 34 social-first films and more than 50 campaign photographs that celebrated Renaissance's signature sense of discovery, creativity and playful spirit. While the content embraces the brand's energetic personality, it also showcases the exceptional quality of the properties themselves, resulting in a visually striking body of work that remains one of our proudest collaborations to date.

Whitcombe James partnered with AC Hotels to create a premium suite of social-first films and photography showcasing the brand's distinctive approach to modern hospitality. Filmed at the spectacular AC Hotel Downtown Los Angeles, located high above the city skyline, the project focused on bringing AC's core brand pillars to life - from its European-inspired café culture and thoughtfully designed workspaces to the iconic AC Gin & Tonic experience. Our team developed a collection of creative, visually refined content designed to elevate the property's luxury positioning while remaining authentic to the guest experience. The result was a versatile library of assets that captured both the atmosphere of the hotel and the lifestyle AC Hotels represents.

Whitcombe James partnered with Westin Hotels & Resorts to produce a documentary film following Westin Ambassador Raymond Braun and military veteran Cedric King as they prepared for and completed the London Marathon together. Having lost both legs while serving in the U.S. Army, Cedric's pursuit of the prestigious Abbott World Marathon Majors Six Star Medal was an extraordinary story of resilience, determination and human spirit. Filmed across several days, from pre-race preparations and shakeout runs through to one of the world's largest sporting events, the production demanded a highly agile approach, with our small team carrying everything required to capture cinematic, broadcast-quality footage while following a story unfolding across 26 miles of London streets. More than a brand film, this was an opportunity to tell a powerful human story through authentic documentary filmmaking - the very reason Whitcombe James was founded.
