Helping advisers use video to connect 🚀with their audience and get leads on social media
Build Your Online Presence.
2020 taught us that we need to be online and having a presence there is paramount for both growth in our business and providing value in others.
For advisers you have specialist knowledge that is of great value to everyday kiwis and we want to help you unpack that knowledge so you build authority and resonance for your online audience.
But writing and posting on social media to get that attention, to inform and educate your prospective customers typically has low engagement.
We've seen advisers spend hours of their precious time finding the right words and images to put in front of their prospects.
For what?
A few likes or sometimes nothing at all.
Marketing is about starting conversations and building trust.
We want to help you get noticed over the long term on social media and to provide that value that your prospects need now after a challenging 2020 and consistent "talking head video" builds trust faster than any other form of social media communication.
So when your prospects finally meet you, they say "I know who you are and the value that you provide".
We help you by coaching and some production.
We can help you if you want to DIY your video content or we can hold your hand through the process. We deliver value for our clients so you can provide value to yours.
Let's push play to build your online presence today.
Stand Out from Your Competitors.
Video is a powerful medium and easily consumed. Research shows us that if you consistently show up on social media with video, you’re top of mind for the viewer.
Why?
You're building trust, a connection, informing, educating and entertaining your audience.
You stand out. You're remembered.
You get conversations started.
Boom.
But we're different to other video operators as we coach first and then produce.
Video of you or talking head video.
We can either coach you through the video process or we can do some production for those that need a little one on one time.
Let’s take you on a tour of some of the work we do with our clients.
It’s an easy-to-watch two-minute animated video.
You'll need your headphones or volume up.

Four Easy Ways To Start.
We know that doing video of yourself can be hard but with the right guidance and support, we know that you can conquer video and use it in your business to build trust with your audience faster than other forms of content.
So here's four ways to get you started.
FILMING
WORKSHOP
Our in-person workshop is designed to give you massive value where you learn to script a video, learn how to be authentic on camera and get some camera presentation tips.
You'll also film your video at the workshop and we'll send it back to you, edited ready for posting on social media.
Ideal for small business owners or companies wanting to group train their teams.
CONTENT WORKSHOP
Since 2018, we've been posting videos on LinkedIn and Facebook and we've perfected the formula of five video styles that drive engagement of you and your business.

VIDEO
CREATION
Sometimes you need a little more help to guide you through the process of creating your videos.
So we have an eight pack.
We'll help you plan out what you'll say in your videos, then film you in our green screen Auckland studio, then edit and caption your videos and send them back to you.
Best all, is that you'll get coached personally in the delivery.
Our Promise to You.
In the world of video, there's a monumental jump from
DIY to a videographer and even then, they don't know what content to create for your business, they expect you to know.
Our mission is to bridge that gap.
To help advisers like you start using the power of video.
Our core value or promise, is to transform you
from good to great, to help you get conversations and leads on social through memorable and consistent video
of yourself.
The three core differences that set us apart are:
-
Video Presentation Coach
We take the time and invest in you. Your personal presentation coach to hold your hand and ensure
that you're confident on camera and shine for your audience.
-
Social Media Platform Training
Video on LinkedIn is only as good if you know how to maximize the platform. Optimizing your profile for
lead generation, connection management and
content engagement.
-
Content Planning
We eat our own dog food.
We show you what content to create because I've done it myself and for clients on LinkedIn and Facebook.
To stand out on social media, you need the right content for your prospects at the different stages of
the buying cycle.
You Have Questions?
Answers for you.
WHAT DOES A VIDEO PRESENTATION COACH DO?
A Video Presentation Coach focuses on three core tenets.
-
Your audience. Who are you talking to while on camera?
-
Your content. Making it memorable so it will resonate with your audience.
-
Your delivery. How you bring your content to life through how you say it.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORGANIC & PAID VIDEO?
We help you create video content for your social media channels and doing that consistently and organically.
It's not boosted. It does not have an ad campaign behind it. However, it makes sense that you repurpose some of your content into paid video ads to drive more prospects to your website or landing pages.
While we don’t do this for our clients, we can put you in touch with great digital marketing people to help you do it.
HOW CAN TALKING HEAD VIDEO WORK BEST?
There are a few factors which may determine when you start seeing results.
The first is, how many connections or followers do you have on LinkedIn and Facebook. Like anything, it takes time to grow. You need to be active on LinkedIn and engaging in other people’s content before people connect with you and your content.
Secondly, are your connections or followers, the people you want to be talking to about business? Normally when we start on LinkedIn or Facebook business pages, we invited old friends, colleagues, school friends so if you have 200 LinkedIn connections, it’s fair to say that maybe only a third of them could be your actual prospects.
Thirdly, most business owners want to see a ROI on any marketing activity. But video is not a marketing tactic, it’s a trust tactic.
You need to have a business sales strategy, be actively seeking out prospects through networking, email marketing, digital marketing or referrals – you cannot rely on the video content alone to bring you conversations online. People will look you up on social media after first meeting you and if you have video there – then voila, then the magic happens.
WHAT CONTENT WORKS BEST?
The number one mistake that I see a lot of businesses make, is they just talk about their business or sales. They talk about what they do. This is the wrong approach.
If you look at your personal Facebook page, your friends engage, like and share your personal stories, your challenges, your wins or your frustrations and this needs to be communicated in business as well. Not all the time but there needs to be a balance of content. Remember, people buy people first.
They buy your WHY you do what you do.
They also buy because of the type of person you are, your philosophy, your journey, the communities you support and the places your go. So, we share all of you on LinkedIn and Facebook, not just the business of transacting goods and services.
HOW DO YOU MEASURE VIDEO EFFECTIVENESS?
The first thing is to what NOT TO LOOK FOR, when you're looking to measure the effectiveness of your personal videos on LinkedIn. Don't look at the vanity metrics. Don't look at the likes and don't look at the views of your video content. At least for the first three months.
It's a bit like going to a party, if you go to a party once and you don't know anybody, you probably got to work hard at working the room and introducing yourself. But if you go to the same party twice a week for three months, you're going to get to know people, right?
Look at profile views, connection requests and page likes if you’re on Facebook. Engage with other people’s content on LinkedIn and they’ll reciprocate on yours, that’s where relationships start. Yes, on occasion, you may get someone who hasn’t liked or commented on your content, but they want to meet you and maybe even do business. While we say, this isn’t likely until 3-4 months after you start, some clients have had it on their first video.
CAN YOU DO MY VIDEOS FOR ME?
We started working with clients across a video subscription and while we still do this for some clients, most people want to either DIY or dip their toes in with a few videos to see if it works for them.
So, we can do some video production but our eight pack is a great place to start. Then we can see how effective it will be for you.
CAN I DO IT MYSELF?
Yes. Getting someone to do the videos for you can be expensive so we have a group training program but limited to 15 people, where you learn to map out your content, understand what equipment you'll need, get some rehearsal time and presentation guidance and we'll show you how to maximize your videos on the social platforms.
WHAT TYPE OF CLIENTS WORK WITH YOU?
We tend to focus on advisers because of the high value they provide for customers and who are frustrated with the lack on engagement they're getting online. In the past, we have worked with other service businesses like recruiters, business brokers, real estate agents and marketers that want to get ahead.
People say that they want to grow but do you really?
We're not the people to call if you just want average.
You'll be hungry for success and realize the possibilities that talking head video offers and to do that, you'll be willing to get out of your comfort zone. We’ll do the rest. We're a no BS zone.
