The Editorial Difference
Make Your Wellness Experience Easier to Understand
From a new opening to a wellness programme launch, the work begins with your guest experience and campaign objectives. Choose social production, in-depth editorial, or a combined campaign below.
Long-Form Editorial
Help prospective guests evaluate your property through a detailed first-person review in English and German. Included in the Restorative Feature and Restorative Authority Campaign.
Visual Storytelling
Show the details that influence a stay: the room at night, breakfast, movement spaces and the spa experience. Photography, video and publication channels depend on your selected package.
Restorative Index Score
A proprietary 100-point editorial framework covering sleep, calm, nutrition, spa, movement and operations. Sleep carries the greatest weight. The score evaluates the stay; it is not a clinical assessment.
Why This Work Exists
After 15 years of full-time travel, Tim stopped measuring a trip by how much he saw and started measuring how he felt afterward. The Restorative Index grew from that change in perspective—not from a marketing concept.

Why Properties Partner With Tim
From Brief to Publication
A Clear Plan Before the Stay
01 · Define the objective
Tell us what is changing at your property, who you want to reach and when. We shape the story around a specific guest experience.
02 · Agree the scope

We document the stay, produce the agreed content and report on available channel performance. Commercial outcomes require agreed tracking and hotel-side data.
Partnership Questions
Before You Enquire
Does every package include a scored review?
No. The Wellness Spotlight focuses on social content and visual production. The Restorative Feature and Restorative Authority Campaign include an English and German Restorative Index review.
Can a hotel approve the score or editorial verdict?
No. Partnership fees fund the agreed work, not a score or endorsement. Factual corrections can be raised; editorial conclusions remain independent. Commercial relationships are disclosed.
What does the Restorative Index measure?
It evaluates the conditions and experience of a hotel stay across sleep, environmental calm, nutrition, spa, movement and operations. Sleep Architecture has the highest weighting. It does not establish clinical outcomes or guarantee how another guest will feel.
Can our team use the content in advertising?
The Spotlight and flagship campaign include a three-month commercial licence for edited visual assets. The proposal confirms eligible assets, channels, territories and creator-account permissions. Any additional usage is agreed in writing.
Are travel, hosting and advertising spend included?
Starting prices cover the stated package scope. Your proposal confirms travel and hosting arrangements, any additional production costs and applicable charges. Paid usage rights do not include an advertising media budget.
How is campaign success assessed?
We agree the objective and reporting scope before production. Reporting uses available publication and platform data. Booking attribution requires tracking and data shared by the hotel; audience size alone is not a booking forecast.
