Work With Us
A few select partnerships each year with brands, tourism groups, and local businesses that love the Adirondacks as much as we do.
Built from the trails, rivers, and summits of the Adirondacks
PureADK started as a love letter to the place we grew up. From the High Peaks outside Lake Placid to the quiet bogs, fire towers, and backcountry lakes scattered across six million acres, our work is rooted in real time spent in the Park — camera in hand, paddle in the water, feet on the trail.
That firsthand connection is what we bring to every partnership. Whether it's a tourism board looking for fresh imagery, a brand that fits the Adirondack story, or a local shop ready to expand online, we only take on projects where we can genuinely add value.
Four areas where a partnership with PureADK can move the needle. Everything is project-based and considered case-by-case.
Photo & Video Licensing
Access a growing library of Adirondack photography and video — from High Peaks summits and golden-hour paddle footage to drone work over iconic ADK landscapes.
- Tourism boards & regional marketing
- Editorial & publication use
- Brand campaigns & web content
- 4K video, photography stills, and drone footage available
Custom Creative Work
Drone-forward photo and video shoots, shaped around your brand and the place. Limited capacity, so we're selective — but when the fit is right, we can deliver something that actually feels like the Adirondacks.
- Drone photo & video (our primary focus)
- Lifestyle & location photography
- Referrals to trusted collaborators for larger video productions
- Graphic design via a trusted ADK illustrator partner
Content Partnerships & Placements
The ADK Journal and our hub pages rank for high-intent Adirondack search traffic — hikers, skiers, paddlers, and travelers actively planning trips to the Park.
- Sponsored blog posts & featured guides
- Product reviews for ADK-appropriate gear
- Display placements on high-traffic hub pages
- Affiliate partnerships with brands we actually use
E-Commerce & Merch
Whether you're a lodging property putting your gift shop online or an event or organization looking to sell branded merch without holding inventory, we've built and scaled the kind of storefront that actually works.
- Shopify store setup for brick-and-mortar shops, outfitters, and galleries
- Print-on-demand merch programs for events, clubs, and organizations
- Product photography, listing copy, and design support
How we work
A small operation means we keep things personal and straightforward. Here's what working together usually looks like.
Send a quick email with the project, timeline, and what you're hoping for. The more context, the better.
If it's a fit for our capacity and the brand, we'll follow up to scope it out. If not, we'll say so honestly — and refer you on when we can.
Clear scope, clear deliverables, clear timeline. No retainers, no long contracts — just good work, done well.
We'd rather be upfront than waste your time. Here's a quick gut-check.
Probably a good fit
- You're a regional tourism org, brand, or publication with an Adirondack audience
- You're a local business that wants help getting online the right way
- You have a specific project in mind with a realistic timeline and budget
- You value quality and a genuine connection to the place over volume
Probably not a fit
- Ongoing retainer work or full-time contracting
- Projects with no connection to the Adirondacks or the outdoors
- Long-distance travel-heavy shoots (remote-friendly only, with rare exceptions)
- Brands or products we wouldn't personally recommend
Let's talk
