Ideas by category
Quick demo: 3 fast scenes — problem, reveal, CTA. Use close-ups and on-screen text. Example: "Before → After" with NZ price point.
Capture a customer moment or a team micro-story. Keep it human — natural sound, quick cuts, and a simple caption that invites comments.
Share one sharp tip that solves a common NZ problem. End with "Follow for more local tips" and a text overlay.
