Media Sales and Partnership Support
Helping media owners grow revenue through long-term destination and brand partnerships
DTmedia partners with ski and travel media brands to develop, sell and manage destination/brand-led commercial partnerships in the UK and European markets.
Hello From The Mountains
Daniel Taylor
I’m Dan Taylor, born in France and based in the Aosta Valley, Italy, at the heart of the European Alps. I partner with ski and travel media brands to grow commercial revenue through long-term destination and brand relationships.
With 18+ years in the UK ski and travel media sector, I’ve held senior commercial roles across leading publishers including the Daily Mail Group and Telegraph Media Group. During that time, I’ve developed and sold integrated partnerships spanning print, digital and live events - working closely with destinations, resorts, tour operators, hotels and leading travel and outdoor brands - including global names such as The North Face and Les 3 Vallées - to deliver consistent commercial results.
Today, I bring that experience on the ground in the Alps, acting as a trusted extension of media owners’ commercial teams. I open doors, manage relationships and convert long-term destination trust into meaningful, ongoing partnerships - all while staying closely connected to the mountain culture and industry that underpin the work.
Why Partner With Me
Media owners partner with me to extend their commercial reach into the European mountain market. I act as a senior, on-the-ground representative – building relationships, shaping partnerships and converting long-term trust into sustainable commercial revenue.

#6 Partnerships Built for the Long Term
“Deeply passionate about skiing, travel, and the people behind the brands. This enthusiasm translates directly into stronger campaigns and long-term relationships.”
“My professional journey has been shaped by strong relationships, cultural insight, and a genuine commitment to the travel and mountain community. Over the years, I’ve become a trusted point of contact for UK and international partners looking to grow their presence in the market.”
How I support Media Partners
I work as a senior commercial partner for ski and travel media brands, supporting the full partnership lifecycle – from opportunity development through to long-term commercial delivery.
