Matador House: Creators in Residency Myrtle Beach Premieres on Matador Network

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Exclusive content documenting a one-of-a-kind creator residency in South Carolina is now available to watch via Matador Network. "Matador House: Creators in Residency Myrtle Beach" chronicles the experiences of eight diverse creatives participating in a series of individual and group endeavors during a monthlong stay on the Grand Strand. The project was produced by Matador Network in collaboration with Visit Myrtle Beach, the official marketing organization for the coastal destination.

Over the course of their 30-day stay, each of the eight creators embarked on an individual project that catered to their unique interests — and connected to the people, culture or environment of Myrtle Beach. For example, video producer and adventurer Colby Eubanks produced a retro-style documentary titled "Good Morning Grand Strand." In addition to including shots of many of the area's most beloved spots, he cast his fellow creators in the short film.

For him, this type of cross-collaboration underscored the impact an extended residency could have in making meaningful content. "I think that's the ethos of what a creator house is, and it's what this whole mission of this past month was: to see what could happen when you bring eight creative people together to make something far beyond themselves," he says.

This type of content, which centers around creator-driven posts and videos, represents the future of marketing in the travel industry. "It's more authentic, faster to create and launch, and creator first," Matador CEO Ross Borden told Net Influencer in an interview about Matador House. "It comes from the heart, from a real person who, in many cases, is a mini media company with a strong following and brand."

The content, both produced and published by the creators themselves as well as Matador Network, gives audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the monthlong residency. Viewers see the creators living together, pursuing their individual projects and embarking on a number of group outings to some top spots in the area, including Ripley's Crazy Golf, Crazy Sister Marina and Winna's Kitchen.

The individual projects pursued by the creators call attention to a number of important cultural and environmental markers of the area. For example, Haley Paez, a food enthusiast, went on her first fishing expedition and documented herself catching black drum and red fin. She later enjoyed her fresh fillets for dinner alongside she-crab soup, a South Carolina delicacy. Her short-form video, which details her daylong experience on and off the water, showcased the unique culinary offerings of Myrtle Beach.

"'Matador House' allows audiences who may not be familiar with Myrtle Beach to see all of the incredible food, activities and culture that the area has to offer," says Visit Myrtle Beach Public Relations Manager Denielle Van Dyke. "We're already hearing from travelers who decided to plan a trip to Myrtle Beach after experiencing the sights, scenes and people of the Grand Strand through the eyes of these talented creators."
