Chris Frederick Partners With Global Child
If you’ve been looking to travel with a purpose, you love amazing experiences and world travel unlike anything you’ve ever seen you might be a Global Child. Global Child is the next generation world travel show airing on Amazon Prime Video and major airlines where Augusto Valverde explores the world through the top experiences as he shares life lessons with the help of international influencers, social media and local communities. What made Global Child an international hit is that Valverde shares the journey with major talent and together they travel with a purpose: discovering the best experiences each place has to offer with the help of the most luxurious hotel brands in the world, while also giving back in tangible way to the people and communities he encounters. Every episode is a unique life lesson they discover organically together such as empathy, courage or generosity. They’ve filmed in 20 countries featuring over thirty five star hotels like the Oberoi, Taj Palace, Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton. But here’s the really uplifting part… they’ve also sponsored a leper colony of sixty plus people in India with food for an entire year, they’ve visited orphanages in Greece, brought medical care in east Africa to more than three thousand people and the list goes on. Global Child merges experiencing the best while also encouraging others to be their best by giving back and inspiring others.
“I feel that we don’t have to choose between the best experiences, luxury and giving back. Ultimately the show was designed to inspire through the uplifting life lessons we share and since giving back is the best thing we can do in life… we figure out to ways to do it while we travel. We’re cultural ambassadors and that’s why we named the show Global Child; no matter our race or religion we are part of one global family.” Says Valverde, formerly a television host from NBC Universal.
Global Child features incredible moments of adventure like in Tanzania where he climbed Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa or great luxury like a fantastic Indian royal wedding along with a stay at the renowned Taj Lake Palace or racing horses at a medieval castle in Irish countryside or scuba diving in the Maldives. Global Child merges the exploration aspect of traveling with the educational, inspirational and spiritual side of it. Some of the destinations he’s featured are Sweden, Japan, Australia, Mexico, San Francisco, Peru, Argentina, Russia, Brazil and the list goes on. If Bourdain did observation narration, Valverde excels at inspirational narration. Why should you care? Purpose driven travel and giving back are the new trends in millennial audiences; it looks like Global Child answered the call.
Global Child became the first travel television show to launch on 10 major airlines globally in 2017 with partners like Iberia, British Airways, Delta, Cathay, LATAM, Thai Airways, Royal Jordanian and SAS. Recently, Valverde joined forces with Peter Taunton creator of Snap Fitness to develop the Global Child project and brand. Recently the Global Child team and Chris Frederick struck a strategic partnership deal to boost and develop the social media angle of the brand through @GlobalChildTV and Frederick’s impressive marketing acumen. Chris Frederick is an expert social media marketer who is marketing the show to online audiences by teaching them how traveling can serve a greater purpose along with fellow friend, marketing mastermind and world traveller Alex Moeller who introduced Frederick to Valverde. “Every episode features a give back component but they also embrace luxury and adventure while featuring top influencers… that really set them apart from all the other travel content and we knew that together we could build this already amazing travel show into a top travel brand that helped to positively shift the travel business landscape world wide.” Says Frederick. Frederick has helped Global Child to boost their online presence to reach millions of new fans and now the team is gearing to set off to explore the world again for Season 3 and audiences are looking forward to join them on the journey.
