Collaborate

I collaborate with brands whose products I genuinely use and trust during my expedition — the kind that can survive the realities of life on foot in the wild, with a rambunctious dog and very few comforts. 

If you’re here, you’re probably interested in working together — below are the ways we can make that happen.

For brands without a formal ad budget but with a strong belief in their product.

This program is designed for long-term collaborations built on trust and mutual support.

Here’s how it works:

• You send your product to my resupply team in the USA or Canada — with no obligation or pressure.
• I test it in the field. If I love it, you’ll start seeing it naturally in my content — have an affiliate’s program? Even better.
• I make a consistent, deliberate effort to include brand placement in posts — but they remain independent (i.e., not marked as sponsored or co-published, though affiliate links are flagged).

As an ambassador I provide:

• Access to a shared iPhoto folder with usable photos and videos
• Organic placement in stories and posts
• Flexibility — I don’t mind if you re-share my posts or use them in your stories (even without the official ‘collaborate’ tag).

This is for brands who care more about purpose than polish — and are okay with their gear being seen in action, not just studio shots.

10 high-quality, expedition-sourced images

Licensed for digital marketing use

Need authentic, beautiful content for your product in wild and rugged environments? I can provide a curated set of images that you can use across your digital platforms — shot on location as I walk the length of the Earth. These are available on a digital-use agreement and are not tied to sponsored posts.

TIER 2 — Price in AUD+ supplied product(s)

If you’re after something more structured, this is the way to go. I offer storytelling-led “adverts without the ad vibe” — content that fits naturally into my narrative-driven social channels.

Each sponsored campaign includes:

• A storytelling-style video post across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok
• Product integration that’s subtle and values-aligned
• A collaborative scriptwriting process
• Full production: sound design, editing, captions, music
• Strategic scheduling, based on analytics and shared availability
• “Collaboration” feature (optional), so the post appears on both our profiles for maximum reach

Note: These are not traditional commercials — they’re genuine slices of my expedition story, with your brand woven in.

Invite the Wild Into the Room

I’ve walked over 20,000 km through jungles, deserts, and cartel country — and I’m still going. My story weaves together grit, humour, science, and the kind of perseverance you only develop from dragging a stubborn hiking trailer uphill in a lightning storm.

Whether it’s for corporate teams, schools, festivals, or environmental summits, I speak on:

• Resilience & Risk in unpredictable environments
• Leadership when you’re the only one out there
• Adventure & Purpose, and how walking is activism
• Climate change from the frontlines
• What happens when everything goes wrong (and you keep going anyway)

Available for in-person events (when terrain allows) or virtual keynotes and panels.

Every film from the expedition is shot, carried, edited, narrated, and produced while on foot — often from a tent, with sand in the hard drives and Wombat snoring in the background.

Each short film budget includes equipment, editing time, sound design, animation, motion graphics, translation, colour correction, and sometimes even a satellite upload from the middle of nowhere.

We lean on industry partners to keep the costs as low as possible – with a starting cost at approximately $10,000AUD.

Becoming a Film Sponsor includes:

• Brand mention in the opening or credits (based on creative fit)
• Logo placement on the film webpage and media kit
• A shared behind-the-scenes folder with images from the shoot
• Early access to the finished film
• Recognition across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube
• If timing allows, brand visibility in the story itself — in a subtle, story-driven way that matches the tone of the film (not a blunt ad drop)
• Ask about a private screening and Q&A with Lucy at your HQ

You’re not just backing a film — you’re helping preserve a moment of global history, told from the trail in real time.

If you’d like to co-create a story or align your brand with a specific message, we can talk through what’s possible creatively and logistically.

No worries — even if you’re not backing a full film project, we do everything we can to get your product visible and in the field. From organic mentions to background placement, your support still counts and shows up in the journey.

Drop me a line and we’ll talk timelines, products, and how your brand fits into one of the world’s longest walks.

 I am an ambassador for the Central Wyoming Collage CLIMATE project

• Collecting base-line temperature and air quality data to help inform scientists on what is changing in some of the world’s most vulnerable climates, and
• Refining a methodology for the data collection to enable other hikers to become citizen scientist during their hikes.
