About Us
Our brand + mission statement
At Maple Searup, we believe every property and destination has a story to tell. From charming boutique hotels and vacation rentals to stunning real estate and hidden gems promoted by tourism boards, our passion lies in capturing the essence of these spaces and places through immersive, visually stunning multimedia content. Founded by two travel and design enthusiasts, we set out to merge our love for storytelling with cutting-edge visual technologies, elevating properties and destinations to inspire and engage their ideal audiences.
With over a decade of experience in real estate, hospitality, and travel, our team understands the unique needs of each sector. Whether we’re creating high-definition property tours, crafting destination marketing campaigns, or producing content that drives vacation bookings, our goal is to showcase the true soul of each location. We specialize in blending artistic creativity with commercial expertise, ensuring that each piece of content not only looks beautiful but also delivers real-world results for our clients.
Through dynamic photography, compelling video, and engaging digital content, we work closely with real estate agents, boutique hoteliers, vacation rental hosts, and tourism boards to transform their offerings into unforgettable experiences. Our work helps audiences see beyond the walls of a property or the borders of a destination, allowing them to imagine themselves there, immersed in the experience.
“Our mission is to create visually compelling multimedia content that elevates real estate, boutique hotels, vacation rentals, and destinations. We strive to capture the heart and soul of every property and location, helping our clients connect meaningfully with their audiences and drive engagement. By combining creativity, technology, and industry expertise, we deliver immersive experiences that inspire, inform, and transform how people see and experience spaces and places.”

Our Story
How we became Digital Nomads + Multimedia Experts
It all started in 2015 when we quit our 9-5 jobs, sold our Toronto townhome, packed up our belongings, and set off to Southeast Asia on a backpacking adventure. It was a bold move, leaving behind the security of a traditional career and embracing the unknown. As we explored different countries, indulging in the vibrant cultures and breathtaking landscapes, we couldn't help but feel a sense of liberation and inspiration.
Throughout our journey, we encountered fellow travellers who were also pursuing unconventional paths. We formed friendships, shared stories, and learned from each other's experiences. It was during this time that we realized our skill sets could be utilized in a whole new way. We started working remotely as copywriters, bloggers, photographers, videographers, consultants, and teachers, embracing the freedom of being digital nomads.
Time flew by as we immersed ourselves in various professions, honing our skills and gaining valuable experience. The idea of creating something that would bring together our passions and expertise came to us one day, like a serendipitous moment of clarity.
The origin of our cheeky business name stems from our deep-rooted connection to Canada, fused with two places that have shaped our lifestyle shift. One part Maple Syrup, a Canadian staple that symbolizes our roots and values. Mixed together with Southeast Asia and the sea, which represent exploration, freedom, and mindfulness.
