PARTNER SPOTLIGHT | Qorum - "Your Free Designated Driver"

We began our partnership with Qorum after I went on a tea date with their founder and CEO, Andrew Pietra. It didn’t take long for me to buy into what the Los Angeles-based startup was selling. Andrew showed me a beta of their app and walked me through some of its functionality. The app serves as a veritable Swiss army knife for going out. It allows its users to look up bars in their area, see updated menus in realtime, it can open and close your bar tab automatically and most importantly - GIVES YOU FREE RIDES when you’re ready to leave!!! That’s right, the last part is particularly ingenious - the company utilizes ‘drink responsibly’ campaign funds from partnering liquor companies to give each of their users free uber credits for their rides home. They’re essentially providing a free designated driver for everyone.

Still not totally clear? Check out this explainer video we helped them create.

Needless to say, I was immediately interested and agreed to help them with their campaign. In addition to creating the explainer video, Tema is responsible for populating the app with photos and videos of their partnering venues. Qorum have been able to secure partnerships with an impressive and expansive list of some of the most exciting places for nightlife in Los Angeles and Orange County and I’ve been bouncing around town with my camera gear. We’re even working towards a 360 photo integration in the app to allow the users to experience the space virtually before heading there IRL (Stay tuned!)

We've worked with Paolo over the past year to create several videos ranging from short 30-second videos for social media to a 3-minute explainer video. He consistently delivers great work. He has always been receptive to feedback and edits are handled quickly and without attitude. We're excited to continue working together.

Now before you head to the App Store to download the app, you should know that the company is still in beta. Patience is a virtue… but we think it’ll be worth it.
