Make it look worth visiting.

Clean commercial shots built from photos you take yourself, usually on a bench near a window. We correct the white balance so a flat white actually looks like a flat white, even out the lighting, and grade the whole range to one consistent look so your online store does not read as a jumble.

Food is the hardest category and the one that pays back fastest. Phone cameras render food under warm cafe lighting badly, and a grey looking burger sells nothing. Getting the colour honest is most of the job.

• Colour corrected and matched across the range
• Pure white background cutouts on request
• Shadows and reflections rebuilt where needed
• Sized for Shopify, Trade Me, Instagram and print
• Consistent crop and framing across a range
• Volume pricing from $55 down to $35 an image

Market rate: New Zealand studios commonly charge $91 an image for 1 to 5, $79 for 6 to 10 and $68 for 10 or more including GST, and that is before the shoot booking and any travel.

Vertical video built from your stills, with real motion rather than a slideshow. Cut to a licensed music bed with captions burned in, because the large majority of short form video is watched with the sound off and an uncaptioned video simply does not land.

Every platform now weights short vertical video more heavily than static images in the feed, which means the cheapest way to get reach is to stop posting only photos.

• Up to 30 seconds, vertical 9:16
• Square 1:1 cut included at no extra cost
• Captions burned in, not auto generated at upload
• Licensed music, cleared for commercial use
• Your logo bug and brand colours
• Delivered ready to schedule, no editing needed

Market rate: A single social reel from a New Zealand production company starts around $207 including GST, and most set a two video minimum, so the real entry point is closer to $414.

The 60 second film that sits on your homepage, your Google listing and the top of your Facebook page. It is the piece of content that makes somebody decide to come in rather than scroll past, and for a hospitality or retail business it does more work than any other single asset.

Built from a walk around with your phone rather than a crew in your business for half a day, which also means you are not closing early or working around a shoot.

• 60 seconds finished
• Landscape and vertical versions
• Licensed music and light sound design
• Titles, address and opening hours
• A 10 second teaser cut for socials
• No shoot day and no disruption to trading

Market rate: A one to two minute promotional video in Auckland starts around $520 including GST at the budget end and climbs steeply once a crew and a shoot day are involved.

This is the most undervalued surface in local marketing. For most businesses, the Google listing is the first image a customer ever sees, well before the website or the Instagram grid, and for most businesses it is years out of date and dominated by customer snapshots taken in bad light.

Google states that businesses which add photos to their Business Profile receive 42 percent more requests for directions and 35 percent more click throughs to their website than businesses that do not. Those are Google’s own figures, and they are the cheapest conversion lift available to a local business.

• 12 images enhanced and correctly sized
• Exterior, interior, product and team coverage
• Cover and logo images sized to Google spec
• Ordered so the strongest image lands first
• Geo relevant naming for the upload
• Upload instructions, or we walk you through it

Market rate: A Google Business Profile photo session in New Zealand generally runs $345 to $690 including GST depending on how many categories are covered.

Casual, native looking content that does not read as an ad. On every short form platform, content that looks like it was made by a customer consistently outperforms content that looks like it was made by an agency, because the feed is a social space and an ad interrupts it.

This is deliberately rougher than the rest of our work. Handheld framing, natural light, no glossy grade. It is a different job from the hero imagery and it belongs in a different slot in your calendar.

• Deliberately unpolished, native to the platform
• Vertical first, shot to look handheld
• Text overlays in platform native styles
• Trend aware without chasing every trend
• Works alongside your polished hero content
• Included on Storefront and Flagship plans

Market rate: UGC creators in Australia and New Zealand typically charge per video for this format, and a small batch usually lands in the mid hundreds before any usage rights are negotiated.

A matched set of images and video for one promotion, a new menu, a sale or a season. Briefed once, delivered as a single batch, named and ordered so you can schedule the whole thing in an afternoon.

Most small businesses do not have a content problem, they have a batching problem. Posting is easy when a month of assets is sitting in one folder, and impossible when every post needs a decision.

• One brief covers the whole campaign
• Matched look across every asset in the set
• Sized per platform in one delivery
• Captions drafted for each asset
• Named and ordered for scheduling
• Included quarterly on Storefront, monthly on Flagship

Market rate: Agencies generally fold this into a monthly retainer of $1,500 to $5,000 for a small business, most of which pays for strategy and account management rather than assets.
