ECOH HISTORY
Recently, E.C.O.H. transformed into the Keep It Aloha E.C.O.H. due to a unification with the production company titled “Keep It Aloha,” founded by Kamaka Dias, host and founder of the Keep It Aloha show and podcast. This unification between the two indigenous Hawaiian media giants has resulted in the creation of the largest visual contemporary new generation Native Hawaiian entertainment archive in the world, called The Archive of A.L.O.H.A. (Archival Library Of Hawaiian Advancement). The Archive contains over 500 Native Hawaiian-infused feature films, documentaries, podcasts, life story testimonials, profiles, TV shows, commercials, and more.
This collaboration has created an educational and informational treasure trove of contemporary Native Hawaiian history and research, standing as the authority in contemporary Hawaiian archival content. It also represents a new generation of indigenous archivists with the intention of creating a global archive for all indigenous nations under one roof, as a global archival digital sovereign united nation.
Together the Keep It Aloha Podcast & ECOH’s mission is to ARCHIVE, document and celebrate the life stories of the Hawaiian people, creating a unique archival repository that serves as a catalyst for cultural reawakening and economic growth. ECOH combines cutting-edge technology, creative entrepreneurship, and a multifaceted approach to media and art to ensure that the legacy of Hawaii thrives.

ECOH plans to produce a high volume of feature films, documentaries, and streaming content that bring Hawaiian stories to life, celebrate achievements, and break records. These productions will also serve as educational opportunities for students from K through college, incorporating the next generation to learn how to tell their own stories, use the equipment, research their history pertaining to the story and understand how to operate the machine of narrative and feature film making not allow it to operate you. This knowledge will enable them to archive their stories and experiences.
HIRING HAWAIIAN & LOCAL
We are committed to teaching local Native Hawaiians the art of acting, nurturing their confidence, and encouraging authenticity. We believe that nothing beats hiring the real people whom the story is about or relates to. We've demonstrated this commitment in our movie Pe’ahi, which featured an entire community and delivered better acting performances than many contemporary movies. All it took was time, patience, and dedicated effort towards the right causes in acting and filmmaking.
CHANGING THE CONSCIOUSNESS
Using top-tier, award-winning production quality, ECOH aims to ensure broad appeal and cultural resonance in all our projects.

This will create positive change by showcasing our people in the most intelligent and respectful manners, influencing global perceptions. As the world begins to see and believe in the true essence of our culture, it will encourage the public of Hawaii to embody the aloha spirit depicted in our films. This content has the power to shift and influence human behavior, fostering a renewed sense of pride and authenticity within the Hawaiian community.
MARKETING CULTURE
Through marketing Hawaiian culture weaved into the commercial marketing and branding of local businesses across a nation such as Hawaii, we aim to raise the worth and value of our culture due to its extremely lucrative nature but underutilized currently by modern society. Elevating the Hawaiian culture and platforming indigenous people within it on the highest levels of Hollywood production will effectively raise the value of the culture to be appealing for tourism and economic demand, creating a new movement in style where indigenous culture is trending as the coolest thing.

Brand Identity : ECOH & Landon McNamara
Overview: ECOH successfully helped curate Hawaii's most significant music artist for Millennials and Gen-Z, achieving unparalleled streaming success since Bradda Iz. Our creative approach focuses on innovative production, strategic marketing, and authentic storytelling.
Brand Identity Design and Approach:
High-Quality Visual Production Content:
We first began this journey with Landon by working closely along side him and his creative vision by crafting four back-to-back music videos, setting a new standard for local music visuals in Hawaii.
Then we created 22 cinematic acoustic videos, filmed in picturesque Hawaiian locations, fostering strong fan engagement through thousands of shares and reposts and gathering a stock pile of social content to keep the fans and industry engaged daily. Creating momentum and interest at the raw talent and abilities of Landon’s skill of creating a limitless amount of new music and having unheard songs released in the raw state giving fans something to look forward to in the future.
Social Media Management:
Worked closely with Landon and his social media accounts, driving engagement and building a dedicated fan base.
Shared in-studio experiences and trailers to showcase the creative process and the talent involved.
Strategic Promotion:
Secured a prime spot for Landon on a FOX primetime special alongside Hawaii's elite music artists, elevating his visibility and credibility.
Conducted numerous news interviews and performances throughout the campaign, further promoting Landon's journey.
Sponsorship Acquisition:
Successfully worked to secure Landon’s first sponsorship with RVCA through strategic brand integration in video content, leading to a deal finalized within a week as well as booking performances at large concerts.
Hit Song Development:
Co-wrote the major hit "Loss for Words," which propelled Landon to superstardom. We did so by creating a raw video in the studio and releasing it during a time of social relevance involving the topic of the song. Upon release the song went viral and within 3 days of writing we released the full song with a music video and endless radio play. The video carried millions of views and Landon was now a name in the industry securing multiple awards and opening the doors to a limitless career he could now navigate on his own.
