Section 01 · Executive Summary
Brand Overview & Strategy
An original New Mexico alien travel-photography series, built so the audience and storytelling become the asset, not a borrowed character.
The project launches under a neutral parent brand, **Earth Log: New Mexico**, starring **PaulA** (a physically customized, costumed NM traveler version of your prop). This structure keeps the audience, email list, supporters, and sponsors under a brand you own, so the series can monetize and grow without needing expensive new 3D prints or licensing hurdles.

Fall Circuit Launch Activation
Active Today · August 20, 2026
PaulA's styled look is finished and the fall circuit begins in two days. First stop: the RC Flying Field Meet on August 22, then Totah Festival over Labor Day weekend.
The launch runs as a rolling road trip instead of a single event. PaulA debuts at the RC Flying Field Meet (Aug 22), then works Totah Festival, Chile Fest and the Four Corners Balloon Rally back to back — six weeks of festival crowds, free photo ops and steady waitlist growth heading into the December studio opening.

| Debut PaulA at the RC Flying Field Meet (Aug 22) with 'Earth Flight Log #1' — her first attempt at understanding Earth aircraft. |
| Invite families to take free selfies with her; hand out cards pointing to the Earth Log site. |
| Lead with the 'Matched with a Host Family' certificate and VIP Early Bird Passes at boudieful.com/earthlognm. |
| Roll straight into Totah Festival (Sep 4–6) and the Four Corners Balloon Rally — the strongest weeks for audience growth. |
