Chasing Tides
From high-tech to high seas.
Chasing Tides is a short documentary that delves into the life of Jelte, a former Google high-flyer, who makes the leap to start his own boat navigation start-up. Once nestled in the comforts of a well-paid job and a predictable life, a personal revelation after his son's birth set him on a path of adventure and self-discovery.
Dive deep into the heart of the boating world as Jelte challenges the outdated boat navigation industry by introducing 'Savvy Navvy', a revolutionary navigation app for boats. After a spontaneous journey on the Clipper around the world race, Jelte's adventure isn't just about disrupting an industry but also setting a precedent for his son - teaching him that dreams are worth chasing.

Social Media content
To promote the film, we created a dynamic social media campaign featuring a blend of teasers, aesthetic reels, and an exciting giveaway in partnership with Dryrobe. The campaign captured the film's essence through visually engaging short videos, drawing viewers into its story and sparking anticipation. As part of the promotion, we invited audiences to join in a competition to win a Dryrobe, a natural fit for our adventure-driven audience and a great way to amplify engagement. This blend of content and collaboration helped the campaign reach a wider audience and foster a deeper connection with the film’s themes.
