About
GANDES Digital Media is a boutique studio based in New York's Hudson Valley, working with restaurants, hotels, and consumer brands on photography, social content, and marketing — with PR support when a project calls for it.
Genesis Palmero started her career in the U.S., then spent two years living and working across Europe and Southeast Asia before landing in Sydney, Australia, where she spent two years building relationships with hospitality and lifestyle brands. She's since moved back to the U.S. and is now based in the Hudson Valley, taking on new clients across the country while still supporting a handful of longtime partners in Sydney.
Over the past eight years, her work has helped restaurants book out during their busiest weeks, gotten new venues fully reserved within weeks of opening, and given brands a photo and video library they actually use — on social, on their site, in campaigns.
Past and current clients include 25hours Hotels, Conrad, Hilton, Legends Tavern & Grille, Pasture of Kirribilli, and Pasture of Balmoral, among others.

Genesis holds a degree in Public Relations with a focus in Marketing and Social Media. She's worked agency-side, in-house, freelance, and internationally — which means she's seen a brand's marketing from every angle, not just one.
A few things she's done along the way:
Built holiday marketing pushes that got restaurants fully booked through the season
Helped launch new hospitality venues that hit full bookings within weeks of opening
Grown restaurants revenue through social, email, and public relations strategies
Shot the photography and videos that became the backbone of campaigns for hospitality, tourism, and consumer brands
Managed models and shoots for hotel photography and social content
Planned and shot a full month of content for multiple restaurants' social media and marketing
Today, she's based in New York's Hudson Valley and currently works with hospitality clients in Sydney, Australia, while building new partnerships closer to home.
