Not a placement. A collaboration. Every brand present is chosen for genuine alignment with movement, restoration, taste, creativity and place — and deliverables are co-designed to feel native to Da Nang, January 12–26, 2027.
ASCENSION does not run traditional sponsorship activations. Every brand present is chosen for genuine alignment across hospitality, wellness, creativity, taste, movement and travel. Deliverables are co-created to feel native to the experience, not layered on top of it.
ASCENSION is an experiential series created by Stanford Emporium Inc. and extended through MODUS.GALLERY, its independent cultural and editorial platform.
ASCENSION creates the lived experience. MODUS.GALLERY extends selected stories through independent cultural and editorial publishing.
MODUS editorial coverage is independently curated and is not guaranteed advertising placement.
Ranges are starting points for conversation, not a fixed rate card. Scope, exclusivity, content rights and deliverables are tailored to each partner’s category, objectives and selected edition.
The upper range applies to bespoke presenting partnerships involving expanded content rights, category exclusivity, hospitality or travel integration, or participation across multiple editions.
ASCENSION brings together guests, practitioners, cultural contributors and hospitality collaborators in Da Nang, with an international audience across North America, Europe and Asia. The curator’s Instagram community reaches 30K+ followers. Verified MODUS readership figures will be added once measured.
ASCENSION offers selected partners the opportunity to begin with one edition and build toward a longer-term, multi-city relationship.
Activations can evolve with each destination while retaining a consistent partnership narrative across live experiences, professional content, digital communication and selected MODUS editorial storytelling.
Founding partners receive first consideration for future editions, categories and expanded collaborations, subject to fit and agreement.
Multi-city participation, category continuity, exclusivity and future-edition rights are negotiated separately and are not automatically included in a single-edition partnership.

Where every sense connects
Potential deliverables may include category exclusivity, named experience integration, direct cohort engagement, selected public touchpoints, professional photography and short-form video, agreed content usage rights, MODUS editorial consideration, hospitality access and post-edition reporting.
Every partnership scope is co-designed and confirmed in writing before the edition opens.
First consideration for future ASCENSION editions, subject to fit and agreement. Editorial consideration through MODUS.GALLERY and agreed post-edition documentation.
To discuss a partnership pathway, submit a Letter of Intent by October 1, 2026. We’ll confirm fit, current availability and the co-design process directly. A 50% deposit secures an agreed partnership; the balance is due 30 days before the experience opens.
