New York Brand Retreat: The Longest Route Our Crew Operates
New York brand retreats from Singapore, where our finance creator retreat ran. The longest route our crew operates, for categories that need a New York backdrop specifically. 5D4N Signature package.
Eighteen hours forty from Changi, the longest route our crew operates, and one we run for a specific reason rather than a general one. Our finance creator retreat happened here because finance content shot anywhere else does not carry the same authority.
That is the honest case for New York. It is not the efficient choice, and we will say so in a scoping call. What it is: the only backdrop that confers credibility on certain categories: finance, fintech, business media, anything where Wall Street or Manhattan is part of the subject rather than the scenery.
If your category is one of those, the trip pays for itself in a way a Bali shoot cannot, because the location is an argument. If it is not, one of the Asia destinations will deliver more content for less money and we would rather scope that.
Quoted as a 5D4N Signature International Retreat with three months of usage rights. Expect the longest planning runway of any destination alongside Paris.

New York retreat questions
Which brands should run a retreat in New York rather than Asia?
Finance, fintech and business media, the categories where Manhattan or Wall Street is part of the subject, not just the backdrop. Our finance creator retreat ran there for exactly that reason. For any other category, an Asia destination delivers more content for less.
How long is the flight from Singapore to New York?
Eighteen hours forty minutes, the longest route our crew operates. It is quoted as a 5D4N Signature International Retreat, and it needs the longest planning runway of anything we run.
Is a New York retreat cost-effective?
Not on a cost-per-asset basis, and we will tell you that in the scoping call. It is worth it when the location is itself an argument for your category. If it is not, we would rather scope an Asia retreat that produces more.
