How to work with Boarding Completed

    How to work with Boarding Completed?

    Boarding Completed is a travel blog by Ralf Johnen. I have been working in web publishing since 2011. Since 2000 I have been working as a journalist for leading newspapers, magazines and Germany’s news agency DPA. There are several ways how to work with Boarding Completed.

    Those who work with me can rely on input of the highest journalistic quality. I also advise destinations on a range of topics. In addition, I design and write consumer publications for destinations such as Visit Cologne, Explore Louisiana and Washington State Tourism.

    The range of publications extends from brochures to entire books. I have designed and written over 40 works for Merian, Marco Polo, DuMont, ADAC and Polyglott.

    Paid collaboration with Boarding Completed

    All collaborations are marked at the end of the text and are therefore transparent.

    In the case of a paid collaboration, we agree that I or a member of the editorial team will receive a fee from the collaboration partner. For this, I charge a fair daily rate, which I will provide upon request. For an individual trip, we occasionally travel in pairs if the workload (research, photos, interviews, transfers) cannot otherwise be managed.

    In return, I will publish one or more stories on a mutually agreed topic about a destination. The stories are professional, independent and without a promotional undertone. Representative examples of collaborations have been developed with the Dutch Tourism Board, Visit Fyn (Denmark), the city of Zwolle (Netherlands), Chur (Switzerland) and Rivierenland (Netherlands).

    Additional services: photos, storylines, brochures and video clips

    In addition to stories, I also offer a fresh look at destinations. My view is trained by almost 20 years as a travel writer.

    By agreement, I provide the destination with my on-site photos for a fee. My photos have appeared in news agencies, glossy magazines and daily newspapers. Of course you will also find a representative selection in the blog.

    I can also develop suitable storylines for two tourist markets: the German market, where I am at home, and the Dutch market, where I feel just as much at home after five years in the country. Last but not least, I am happy to record my analysis on video, which can be shown at conferences and trade fairs, for example. The analysis also includes an elaboration of the destination’s strengths and weaknesses in comparison to the competition.

    It’s important that it clicks

    The best results come from collaborations that are based on a good and trusting personal relationship. This is still the best prerequisite for stories that people talk about and that stand out from the rest.

    Sponsored links and advertorials

    Sponsored links and advertorials are possible on Boarding Completed. The main requirement is that the content is appropriate for Boarding Completed. Important: delivered content must be unique in terms of its usability in search engine optimization. I will be happy to send you a price list on request.

    Print publications

    Since I work for many print publications, additional publications are possible after the trip. However, this depends on my availability and the market situation. Important: Paid services for Boarding Completed are always clearly separated from my editorial services for third parties.
