We listened to over 1,000 songs to find these. We needed just the right harmony between photos and songs

@bchesky

I've also done quite a few keynotes where I show photos of people's trips...

@bchesky

I saw a Ken Burns special and sent it to the team. We realized we could use real photos of real people to tell a story - something few commercials do

@bchesky

We started working on them right before our IPO roadshow. We had the idea to do a documentary style campaign

@bchesky

These ads were all made by our in-house team

Here's our 4th film, my favorite: I Will Always Love You

Thank you @dollyparton for the beautiful song.

Hosted by Jacopo at House Above the Clouds, it's about Miso, a 2-year-old Golden. Miso likes playing with sticks, running through the woods, and chewing on a pink octopus

@bchesky

Here's the 1st film: Landslide

Hosted by Ashley and Francois at the Saltwater Cottage in Narragansett, Rhode Island, it's about a young family's first trip with their newborn

@bchesky

We edited the photos together with familiar songs and the result captured the nostalgia for past trips, and hope for the future to take trips like this again.

@bchesky

So we asked photographers to stay in Airbnb's with their family and friends, take photos of their trip, and send them back to us.

@bchesky

We also wanted to make something people could feel, something that is real and true...

@bchesky

This type of meaningful travel is made possible by our Hosts, and we wanted a way to honor them.

@bchesky

People miss traveling. The type of traveling they miss the most is spending meaningful time with family and friends.

@bchesky

We made something I'm excited to share—our 1st major campaign in 5 years called Made possible by Hosts.
