CULTURE FOR THE CURIOUS EXPLORER.
Hype/Volume Media is a storytelling engine for bars, restaurants, musicians, chefs, and creatives who shape real culture.
THIS IS NOT A FOOD BLOG. This also isn’t a place where we “critique” things. And this isn’t the place where you’ll see “Top 10 Most Instagrammable Bars” for some basic, click-driven influencer to flaunt and hawk their wares. You most definitely will not get a listing of every new bar, restaurant, venue, etc. that is opening because there are other places you can go that cover that and frankly, they do it just fine. We’re here to celebrate what we think matters—real connections, raw experience, people who seek adventure. We are and we seek to find other curious explorers who want to share stories, laugh, be real, find connection—anyone interested in creating and contributing to culture, not just consuming it (or even worse, diluting it).
WE DON'T JUST COVER CULTURE. WE HELP BUILD IT.
We show up late, we leave later, and we bring the experience to you. We’re not here to boost TikTok trends or shill overpriced cocktails. We cover the places and people that matter to us (based on the Hype/Volume Manifesto) and we help them grow.
Whether it’s a dive bar with the best vibe in the city, a chef shattering the earth, or a band whose sound could split a street open—we’re there. Filming, writing, creating, and spreading the word.
WE CREATE THE HYPE. WE TURN UP THE VOLUME.
We work with the people and places that make culture happen—bars, chefs, musicians, event organizers, independent brands. If you’re doing something that aligns with our values, we can help you make sure the right people see it, hear it, and show up for it.
Here’s how we make that happen:
Audience Growth Retainers
Build buzz, bookings, and foot traffic with custom growth campaigns. Real people, not bots.
Media Coverage
Photos. Videos. Writeups. Reels. Edits with teeth. Content that lives and breathes—and drives people from their doors to yours.
Event Promotion & Curation
Need bodies in the room? We’ll promote your event—or even co-host it with you. Hype guaranteed.
Sponsorship & PR Collabs
We plug you into aligned sponsors, brands, and creative partners—without selling out your vibe.
Hype/Volume Pro
Our full-service agency arm. Digital marketing, content strategy, design, social campaigns. For those who want the whole engine behind them.
GTFO. FIND REAL EXPERIENCES.
That’s our mantra. Our audience doesn’t want to know about anything and everything happening. They want to know about the things that matter.
We make content that drives action. That gets people off the couch and into the venue. Into the bar. Into the story.
It’s not about followers. It’s about footsteps. It’s about time to GTFO.
FOUNDED BY TRAVELERS NOT TOURISTS.
We’re writers, artists, ex-corporate renegades We built Hype/Volume for the same reason we walk into the kinds of bars most people pass by—to find what’s real.
This brand is a rebellion against dull, clean, soul-free media.
It’s a love letter to the makers of taste, culture, and unforgettable nights.
