Collaboration proposal for roadsurfer

I will create content that feels like freedom, not advertising.

And that is precisely why it sells.

I have travelled in campervans for more than five years. I look beyond a pretty parking spot to morning light, silence, mountain bends, a view through open doors and the moment that makes someone think: I want to experience this.

Under the hood

Who is behind the wheel of this content.

I am Marek Chrz, 32, from Žilina, Slovakia. Travel, video, drone work and marketing are a natural part of what I do—not a profile assembled just for this proposal. For roadsurfer, I want to create more than attractive shots of a van. I want to bring back footage that reminds people why they want to get into a campervan and go.

Marek Chrz, 32

My understanding of campervan travel comes from experience. I know where a van feels natural and when silence, light and open doors can say more than a voice-over.

Drone licence and training

I fly legally and safely, hold additional A1/A3 training and capture aerial footage only where it is appropriate and safe.

Professional equipment

I use a DJI Air 3S and a full-frame Panasonic Lumix S5II—not to make the gear the story, but to deliver clean, stable footage that the brand can use.

The idea

I understand campervan travel—and the questions people ask before their first trip.

A campervan is more than an attractive backdrop for my camera. I have travelled in them for years, so I know what first-time renters wonder about: driving, parking, electricity, water, heating, toilets and charging.

I can build content that combines beautiful imagery with clear reassurance, showing that campervan travel is accessible to ordinary people.

I understand the practical details too—power, heating, water, the interior and day-to-day operation. I explain them simply for beginners while remaining useful to experienced campervan travellers.

This is more than a trip made for content. I can create material that inspires people to leave while answering their questions before they ever contact the company.

Experience

I know where a campervan starts to make sense.

I do not choose places simply because they are famous. I look for scenes where a campervan feels at home—a mountain road, morning mist, a lake, a quiet spot away from the crowds or warm light inside at night. These images do not look like advertising. They look like a reason to go.

Proven in practice

A proven local partnership in Slovakia.

This is not an idea that only works on paper. I previously worked with KaravanZA, a local campervan rental partner in Slovakia. A real journey produced atmospheric content and measurable interest in rentals.

Local Slovak experience

I am not starting from zero. I am building on a format that already worked.

KaravanZA was a local collaboration within Slovakia. As the company is ending its operations for family and health reasons, I am looking for a new partner—ideally a brand that sees a campervan not merely as a product, but as a way to travel.

The partnership worked

I filmed a real journey rather than a staged advertisement, which is precisely why the content felt natural.

The content attracted customers

The results were strong and, according to the partner's feedback, helped people choose a rental.

Ready for a new partnership

I want to take this approach further with a company that has its own story and values authentic travel content.

Proof

I have tested this approach before—and it worked.

Content from a 25-day journey created for KaravanZA, my local partner in Slovakia, generated 172,000 views, reached nearly 100,000 people and performed best with the 25–44 age group—people actively considering holidays, family travel, freedom and campervan rentals.

I do not make my living from Instagram or paid collaborations. The videos developed naturally during the journey rather than as a staged campaign. That authenticity helped them achieve strong reach and, according to the feedback I received, generate genuine customer interest and sales.

Marketing

A beautiful shot is not enough. It has to earn attention immediately.

I have worked in marketing for more than 10 years. Through Facebook advertising for my own e-commerce business, I have generated over €5 million in sales. I understand attention, the importance of the first seconds, why people keep watching and what they should feel afterwards. I do not create video simply to keep it in my own gallery; I want every asset to work for your brand.

Authentic storytelling from the trip

Route

The route will not be measured in kilometres. It will be shaped by shots.

I choose places where a campervan fits naturally into the story. It does not need to be the most distant point on the map. A road, a view, silence, morning, evening, rain, coffee or light in a window can be enough—the moments that let people imagine their own journey.

Value for the brand

People do not just rent a vehicle. They rent a vision.

A campervan decision is not driven by specifications alone. It is driven by feeling. Where will I sleep? What will I see in the morning? How will it feel to leave the city behind? This is where roadsurfer can show more than a price list and a vehicle photo. It can show what people experience because of the vehicle.

More emotion for the rental experience

A campervan is more than a number of sleeping berths. It is the promise that someone can leave and wake up where no hotel could ever stand.

Real content instead of stock visuals

The content will feature a real roadsurfer campervan on a real journey, in places where customers can picture themselves travelling.

Reusable campaign assets

The footage can work across campaigns, social media, stories, the website and future rental communication.

Proposed collaboration

One test trip. A clear exchange.

I see this as a simple, fair test. You provide a campervan for an agreed period. I return from a real journey with useful content and final deliverables tailored to the loan duration. We confirm the exact scope in advance so both sides know what to expect from day one.

Next step

If this feels right, I would love to turn it into a real trip.

It does not need to begin as a major campaign. One well-planned test trip, one vehicle and clearly agreed deliverables are enough. I bring the journey, the eye, the equipment, the edit and the marketing perspective. You receive content that does not feel like an advert from a random creator, but like an authentic brand story made by someone who knows the road.

Best regards, Marek Chrz

I am based in Žilina, Slovakia, and would be happy to meet in person to discuss the collaboration and its possibilities.
