Elegance in Motion.

Sandy Lane is not a hotel that needs to be explained. It is one of those rare places where everything, the light, the stillness, the particular quality of the air at dusk, does the work quietly, without announcement.

And yet social media, for all its reach, has rarely captured that. What tends to exist is the version of Sandy Lane that is performed for a camera. The posed moment. The expected angle. What is missing is the place as it actually is.

This proposal is an invitation to change that. To spend fourteen days living inside Sandy Lane, not as a guest passing through, but as someone paying close attention. Watching. Listening. Finding the moments that quietly define what makes this place unlike anywhere else on earth.

“Not a highlight reel. An honest portrait of somewhere extraordinary.”

I have been. I understand what it is.

I spent five nights at Sandy Lane earlier this year. I went with a professional eye and left with something more personal than I expected.

What I noticed first was the pace. Not slow exactly, but completely unhurried. Nobody was rushing anywhere. Lunch extended into the afternoon in the way that only happens when a place makes it genuinely easy to stop. The sea was a colour I kept trying to name and couldn’t quite. The coral stone glowed in the evening light. There was a quality to the whole place that I found hard to put down after I left.

But the thing that stayed with me most was the people. The staff at Sandy Lane are not polished in that careful, hotel-trained way. They are warm in a way that feels entirely natural, funny when you give them room to be, and present in every interaction in a way that makes you feel genuinely looked after rather than processed. I had conversations at Sandy Lane I would not have expected to have at a resort of this calibre. That says something important.

I say all of this because it matters for the work. You cannot make content that feels like Sandy Lane without having understood what Sandy Lane actually feels like. I have. And that is where this proposal begins.

The people of Sandy Lane are its greatest asset. They are also, I believe, its greatest untold story.

For those discerning few who already know what they desire.

The Sandy Lane guest does not need to be persuaded. They are not browsing. They are already disposed toward the best, and the question is simply whether Sandy Lane feels, in this moment, like the right choice for them.

What moves that person is not a list of amenities or a drone shot of the beach at golden hour. It is a sense of recognition. A feeling that this place understands their life, the pace of it, the taste of it, the particular kind of ease they are looking for.

A cocktail is not just a cocktail. It is an expression of the life being lived around it, the unhurried afternoon, the ease of people who are completely at home in the world’s finest places, the quiet confidence of knowing that everything here has been considered. That is what we are filming. Not the drink. What the drink says about the people who choose this place.

Content that captures that is not made by pointing a camera at beautiful things. It is made by people who understand what those beautiful things mean to the people who choose them. That understanding is what we bring.

“We do not document Sandy Lane. We interpret it, for an audience that would recognise the difference immediately.”

Considered. Unhurried. True to the place.

Good content about Sandy Lane cannot be manufactured. It has to be found. That requires time, attention, and a genuine commitment to creating something worthy of the brand, which means nothing should feel contrived, staged, or assembled for the sake of a frame.

Intentionality is everything here. We will arrive knowing what we are looking for, because the signed-off Content Strategy will have answered the essential questions before a camera is ever raised. That preparation is what transforms a shoot into a body of work.

The texture of the place

The light finding the coral stone in the last hour of the afternoon. The sea, a particular shade of green that the West Coast seems to keep for itself. The rhythm of service: attentive, warm, and perfectly timed. A long lunch that becomes the afternoon without anyone deciding it should. The golf course in the early morning, before the dew has lifted. These are the details that carry Sandy Lane. They are what we are going to film.

On talent

No models are required. Management and staff will feature throughout, as themselves and where appropriate in guest-facing contexts. Golf professionals will feature on the course. Where guests appear, they will not be immediately identifiable.

We believe strongly in the character of the Sandy Lane team, and we would welcome an early conversation with management about how much of that personality we can bring to the surface. Our instinct is that the people of this resort, given the space to be natural, will be among the most compelling things we film.

Four engagements. One coherent vision.

The proposal is structured around four distinct engagements, each designed to build on the last. Together they represent a complete approach to how Sandy Lane shows up, speaks, and grows on social media.

Engagement One Social Media Strategy

A comprehensive strategy for how Sandy Lane’s social channels should be managed, grown, and sustained. Platform by platform. Audience by audience. Built around the content we have created and the brand values we have defined.

This is not a template. It is a bespoke plan, designed for this property and this audience, with clear guidance on cadence, community management, and the metrics that actually matter.

Engagement Two Social Media Management

Ongoing management of Sandy Lane’s social presence by the Maverick Social team. Publishing, community management, performance analysis, and continuous creative refinement, all delivered with the consistency and care the brand deserves.

We become, in effect, the editorial voice of Sandy Lane on social. Present every day, attentive to every detail, and always guided by the strategy we built together.

See an example of our work: @ballyfindemesne on Instagram.

Engagement Three Content Strategy

Before a single frame is shot, we define with precision how Sandy Lane should exist on social. The visual language. The editorial tone. The pace and rhythm of the content calendar. What to say, and equally, what to leave unsaid.

This strategy becomes the creative document that both teams sign off before any production begins. It ensures that everything that follows is intentional, coherent, and true to the brand.

Engagement Four Content Production

A focused shoot block on property, structured to give the work room to breathe. We execute on the agreed Content Strategy, producing the body of social content defined by your selected package. The schedule is built around the quality of the work, not the speed of its delivery.

All content is reviewed and approved through our production dashboard. Each piece receives several rounds of revisions. Finished cuts belong to Sandy Lane in perpetuity. Raw material remains with the production.

Every facet of Sandy Lane.

Across the shoot, we will produce a tailored body of social content, shaped by the agreed Content Strategy. Each piece is considered, unhurried in its making, and forms part of a body of work that represents Sandy Lane with the elegance the brand deserves.

The beach, the spa, the country club, the villa, the golf course, the dining, and above all the people. Every facet of the resort, seen through a lens that knows what it is looking for.

Specific quantities of each format are defined by the production package you choose.

Short-form approximately 20 seconds. A single moment, distilled. The kind of frame that holds something essential about the place.
Mid-form approximately 45 seconds. A place, a person, an experience. Given enough time to feel real.
Long-form approximately 90 seconds. Character-led and carefully made. Content that earns its duration.
Golf course flyovers one per signature hole. Aerial, composed with care. The course as it deserves to be seen.

Each piece earned. Not content about Sandy Lane. Content that feels like it.

Four engagements. Priced with clarity.

Engagements Two and Four are presented across tiered packages, so the scope can be tailored to Sandy Lane’s ambitions for the year. Engagement One is the Annual Strategy Document that underpins ongoing management. Engagement Three is a fixed creative foundation. Optional add-ons, including editorial photography and on-camera talent, may be paired with any production package. Expenses, including travel, accommodation, and equipment, are discussed and confirmed separately ahead of production.

Engagement One: Social Media Strategy This is a strategic foundation that drives the entire year’s work:

The Monkey Club

A focused brief, on a smaller canvas.

Should the property’s leadership wish to see how Maverick Social operates end to end before committing to the full Sandy Lane partnership, we have priced a year-long engagement for The Monkey Club, the resort’s bar and restaurant brand. A complete strategic, content, and management programme for the sub-brand, designed as a meaningful test on a contained canvas.

Combined Strategy Content Strategy and Social Media Strategy delivered together for The Monkey Club. Bundled to reflect the shared foundational work, and the smaller scope of a single sub-brand.
€20,000
Content Production Five days on property. Two video shoot days plus one photography shoot day. Extrapolated from the per-day rates of the main production packages.
€25,000
Editorial Photography One photography shoot day delivered alongside the motion content. €1,500 per shoot day, consistent with the main proposal.
€1,500
Social Media Management Twelve months of the Signature retainer for The Monkey Club. Polished, consistent presence with strong fundamentals. €3,750 per month.
€45,000
One-time investment €46,500
Annual retainer €45,000
First-year total €91,500

A note on expensesContent production prices exclude on-property expenses (travel, accommodation, equipment, and any third-party rentals). These are itemised, agreed, and confirmed separately ahead of the shoot.

A conversation, if you are open to one.

This proposal is the beginning of a conversation. The finest version of this work will take shape through dialogue, through understanding what Sandy Lane wishes to say, and through finding an approach that feels as considered and as natural as the resort itself.

We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this at your convenience. There is no urgency on our side, only a genuine belief that this is a project worth doing with care.
