We are Gaissa Media, a specialized marketing agency for mountain sport brands and professionals. Our mission is to help businesses in the adventure and outdoor industry – from local Chamonix mountain guides and businesses to global outdoor gear brands – connect with their audience and grow their business. We believe that effective marketing is built on passion, and for us, that passion is the mountains.

Our Journey: From Vanlife to Basecamp Chamonix

Gaissa Media was born from a simple idea: to combine a deep love for the mountains with a career in digital marketing. Our founder, Vilja, spent years on the road, exploring the world’s most incredible mountain landscapes. During this time, she honed her skills in website development, content creation, and SEO.

The experience of living and working as a digital nomad in the mountains revealed a clear vision: to create a marketing agency that truly understands the unique needs of the outdoor industry. This led to the decision to make Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, the ultimate mountain hub, our basecamp.

Being based in Chamonix gives us an authentic, first-hand understanding of your clients and your market. We’re not just marketers; we’re also climbers, skiers, and hikers who are immersed in the mountain culture every day.

Our Values: Marketing with a Purpose

We believe that businesses should be a force for good. That’s why green values are at the core of everything we do.

  • 1% for the Planet: We donate a percentage of Gaissa Media’s profits to organizations that work to protect the fragile mountain ecosystems we all love.
  • Sustainable Operations: We operate on solar power and strive to minimize our environmental footprint wherever possible.
  • Partnerships: We aim to build long-term, lasting relationships with our clients, helping them grow sustainably rather than chasing short-term, high-cost gains.

By choosing Gaissa Media, you’re not only investing in the growth of your business but also in the preservation of the places that inspire us all.
