Phase 1

A blast launch campaign for the coming high season

Idea #1 EXPLORING LOCAL TRADITIONS

Format: Documentary-style video series (1 to 3 episodes)

Pitch: In this series, we meet people who embody Cambodian traditions and know-how — an animist believer, a street food cook, a dancer, a craftsperson... Each episode is a portrait-style report that dives into their daily lives, personal stories, and what they pass on from local culture. A deeply human format that highlights the richness and diversity of Cambodian traditions.

Idea #2 MY UNEXPECTED ADVENTURE IN CAMBODIA

Format: Mixed graphics & facecam – approx. 1 minute (1 to 3 episodes)

Pitch: In each episode, a traveler shares a surprising or memorable story from their trip to Cambodia. The testimony is brought to life with colorful animated graphics and footage from Cambodia, creating a vivid and engaging visual narrative. Each story features a traveler of a different nationality, allowing for a mix of languages and showcasing the diversity of experiences in the country.

Contributors: We can launch a call for stories through Brut’s Instagram Stories. Worth noting: the casting process might require a bit of time and effort.

Phase 2

Create a FOMO feeling during the high season

#1 DARE TO DO IT? EXPLORING CAMBODIA

WITH SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

Format: Documentary-style video series

Pitch: In this series, we follow a pre-set itinerary across Cambodia with one challenge: completing the journey without planes or cars. Guided by a local expert, we explore what to see, do, and protect in Cambodia — all through eco-friendly modes of transport (bike, train, boat, horseback…). An adventurous, sustainable, and people-focused format that proves there’s another way to travel: slower, greener, and more meaningful.

# 2 WE LET LOCALS PLAN OUR TRIP

Format: Reportage

Pitch: In this format, our itinerary is shaped entirely by locals — they tell us where to go, what to see, what to taste, and who to meet. In each episode, we explore a new city or place in Cambodia through their recommendations. It’s an immersive, human, and spontaneous journey, offering an authentic glimpse into Cambodian culture through the eyes of those who live it.

#3 ONE PLACE, FIVE SENSES

Format: POV video series (approx. 1’30) with voice-over

Pitch: In this series, we explore iconic places in Cambodia through the lens of the five senses. An immersive voice-over, paired with on-site footage, shares what we saw, smelled, tasted, touched, and heard. The viewer experiences the journey alongside the journalist — as if they were there. This vlog-style format, popular on social media, is highly adaptable to multiple languages.

Create a ╖special week: Cambodia ╗ on Brut during the Sommet de la Francophonie

“Special Weeks”: A Signature Format by Brut

On a regular basis, Brut transforms its editorial line to spotlight a specific destination, dedicating 6 to 10 pieces of content to one geographic area — from Marseille to Berlin, or Corsica.

These stories, independently curated by Brut’s editorial team, explore themes such as food, sports, youth-led initiatives, and cultural clichés — always through a fresh and authentic lens.

A “Special Week: Cambodia” during the Sommet de la Francophonie would bring strong value to our campaign by:

● Creating a powerful editorial environment for storytelling

● Building highly engaged Cambodia-focused audiences for efficient retargeting

Leverage our partnership with the Cannes Film Festival to shine a spotlight on Cambodian cinema.

For the past four editions — and for the next three to come — Brut has served as the official partner and co-producer of the Cannes Film Festival. This unique position gives us unparalleled access and visibility across the event.

As part of this partnership, we:

● Produce the opening and closing ceremonies

● Create and deliver all TV shows for French national television during the festival

● Publish 10 to 15 daily pieces of Cannes-related content across our platforms

● Are the only media outlet with publishing rights directly from the red carpet

● Generate a minimum of 10 exclusive stories per day during the two-week festival

This powerful context offers a premium opportunity to spotlight Cambodian cinema within one of the world’s most prestigious cultural events.

Brut.Factory brings together all the expertise of a fully integrated creative agency, within Brut, to support you across all your content needs.
