Direct Sales – Eat. Drink. Be Manly.
Adventure Studios has a lot of experience shooting for direct sales companies like Creative Memories and Thirty-One. Our images have helped them build their brands, consultant bases and overall sales. While those companies appeal to female consultants and consumers, a new client shows that direct selling isn’t just for women anymore.
Man Cave brings men together for “MEATings” where party goers can eat brats, have a couple of cold ones, play games like Hammerschlagen and purchase premium meat products, grilling accessories and related Man Cave items.
They turned to Adventure Studios to shoot their new 2012 catalog. To tackle the project, we had a MEATing of our own so we could live and photograph the Man Cave experience first hand.

No Job Too Big.
With more than 70 subject boats to shoot and weeks spent on the water – the annual Nautic Global Group photo shoot is one of the big projects each year at Adventure Studios. For the 2012 model year, our hard-working crew photographed the Hurricane, Rinker, PolarKraft, SanPan, PartiKraft, Sweetwater and AquaPatio brands. We shot at multiple locations in Michigan and Indiana, and in the end delivered more than 750 print-ready images to Nautic Global Group for their 2012 catalogs and advertising needs.
