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.
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.
