About
Bravado is a creative studio partnering with a selection of brands across hospitality, travel and lifestyle.
Bravado produces film and imagery for remarkable brands and places, revealing what’s poured, served and worn inside them.
As a social-first studio, content is shot and cut for the way people actually watch. Over time the pieces add up to something larger: a world a brand can live in. It shapes how a brand is seen, and how it feels to be there.
Led by Sean Bertrand, Bravado is based in Santa Barbara and available worldwide.

Creative director
Sean Bertrand
A Santa Barbara-based creative and founder of Bravado.
His work brings together two things: the taste to create a distinct visual world and the strategic thinking to make it work. From imagery and content to the formats, rhythms, and systems behind them. Sean looks beyond what feels beautiful to understand what makes a brand resonate and grow.
