OUR STORY

MEDIA COMPANIES?
WE'RE TRAVEL INNOVATORS


Based in Sydney, Australia, GDC Media represents eight years of focused innovation in the aviation, travel, and wellness sectors, built on a foundation of decades of industry expertise. While our headquarters call Australia home, we are very much a global player, working with clients and technology partners from around the world.


Our co-founders have navigated the evolving landscape of media and content production through multiple industry transformations, from traditional broadcast to digital streaming, and understand how audiences consume content across different environments. Their deep experience in advertising, spanning both strategic planning and creative execution—has been honed in an era where brands demand measurable results and authentic audience engagement. Combined with specialised knowledge of wellness product delivery, both in the unique constraints

of aircraft cabins and across the global wellness industry, this expertise positions GDC Media uniquely in the market.


The travel and media industries have converged dramatically in recent years. Passengers expect connectivity, choice, and personalised experiences at every touchpoint. Airlines and loyalty programs face mounting pressure to differentiate while managing costs. Meanwhile, the wellness industry has shifted from luxury amenity to essential lifestyle component, with travellers seeking to maintain their routines wherever they go.


GDC Media was born from recognising these intersections and understanding how to navigate them. We don't just create products, we architect solutions that address the complex operational, commercial, and customer experience challenges our partners face. Our platforms reflect years of iteration, industry insight, and a commitment to delivering value across the entire ecosystem: airlines, loyalty programs, advertisers, wellness partners, and most importantly, travellers themselves.

OUR VALUES

PASSION

We love travel and believe every journey should be enriching. Our work isn't just business, it's about transforming how people experience the world.

INNOVATION

Create industry trends rather than follow them. Our platforms solve real problems in ways the market hadn't imagined.

COLLABORATION

Strong partnerships drive our success. We bring together airlines, loyalty programs, content providers, wellness facilities, and brands with shared purpose.

RESULTS

Deliver measurable value across the ecosystem. Airlines generate revenue, programs reduce liability, and travellers enjoy better experiences.

AUTHENTICITY

Operate with transparency and never compromise on quality. Our reputation is built on delivering exactly what we promise.

EMPATHY

We understand traveller needs because we've lived them. That perspective shapes every solution we create.

OUR TEAM

This is the space to introduce visitors to the business or brand. Briefly explain who's behind it, what it does and what makes it unique. Share its core values and what this site has to offer.
