Cédric Martinet
Creative Director · Restaurateur · Photographer, Videographer & Designer
I create the visuals, the marketing and the events that fill venues, in Bangkok and Bali.
Sixteen years in visual production, from the edit suite to the owner's table. I shoot, edit, design and run the marketing myself, so every venue I work with gets one clear vision from idea to campaign.

Profile
Creative director and restaurateur with sixteen years in visual production. Trained in cinema at the Sorbonne and in digital editing at ESEC in Paris, I learned the craft in television, luxury and brand campaigns with FremantleMedia, PUIG and Absolut before moving into hospitality in Southeast Asia.
I cover the whole visual and marketing chain myself. I shoot photo and video, edit, retouch and design, then run the social media, paid ads and online marketing. From idea to campaign, nothing gets lost between agencies, and it all stays fast and on-brand.
That's how I worked at Pastel, where my content, marketing and event concepts were a big part of the venue's success, and later as creative and events director at Baia Bangkok. In Bali, I'm co-owner of Giselle Canggu. Alongside the venues, I run a small publishing business on Amazon KDP, including a best-selling self-help workbook.
The question behind everything I do is simple: does this place make people want to stay, come back, and bring their friends?
