Social Media Collaboration

Visit Morgan Hill publishes ongoing content on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok for Morgan Hill travel inspiration. Our efforts are designed to inspire visitors from outside of the area to stay overnight by showing them what they can see, do, and experience here. This requires a steady flow of new and fresh photography and video. Please explore the ways we may collaborate below.

1. Directly Submit Photos and Videos 📷:

A visually appealing setting, a photogenic dish, and unique local activities have the power to inspire visits. Make your photos and videos go further than just your own followers and share them with Visit Morgan Hill. If Visit Morgan Hill decides to use your content on social media, you will be credited.

Tips for Successful Photo & Video Submissions that get you featured:

High Quality - Original photography and video are essential to tourism marketing. Sharing high-quality, high-resolution photos and video increases the chance of being featured.
Relevance - Our target audience is out of town visitors, so the experiences that we feature must be something accessible and relevant to someone who is visiting Morgan Hill.
Less Is More - Pure video or photo is more versatile and easily incorporated into a variety of marketing mediums and are more likely to be posted. Flyers, graphics, or content with a lot of text and fonts, are often not usable by Visit Morgan Hill.
Embrace Video - Reels and TikToks are among the most influential forms of content to inspire travel decisions. Quick clips of a delicious meal, a walk downtown, or a local event support ongoing video production.
Check Your Settings - Our preferred video setting for smartphone video are 1080p x 30pfs.

Instagram offers a unique feature where you may invite other accounts to “Collab.” This posts content to both your followers and the collaborators’ followers.
