Hello Maria, Mia and the Cortina Team,

We’re thrilled to share this proposal for a special late summer/fall episode of ASCEND Television featuring Cortina d’Ampezzo. Our aim is to spotlight the region through the eyes of a local athlete — capturing not only the golden larch forests, dramatic Dolomite landscapes, and vibrant warm-season activities, but also the deep personal connection that makes Cortina so unique.

This project is designed as a true partnership, delivering high-impact, cinematic content while providing exceptional value to our destination collaborators. Here’s a quick overview of what we propose:

  • Production of a full ASCEND Television episode filmed in Cortina during late summer/fall 2025

  • National broadcast on Outside TV in fall/winter 2026, reaching an average of 528,000 North American viewers per episode across all airings

  • Creation of social media snippets and promotional content

  • Delivery of all raw footage for license-free use across your channels

  • Opportunity to collaborate on integrated advertising and amplification strategies

In exchange, we kindly request:

  • Assistance with transportation costs and/or room and board for the crew of 2–3 people during production.

  • A contribution of €5,000 to help offset production costs

Please use the link below to view the full proposal, including additional information on our audience, reach, and distribution. You’ll also find a sample episode and links to the full series currently airing on Outside TV.

We’re excited about the opportunity to work together to create an unforgettable story from the heart of the Dolomites.

Warm regards,
Åge, Mark, and the ASCEND Team
