Who we serve

Built for the businesses that power
the Pacific economy.

We work with owner-operators who care about their craft and don't have time to be their own social media manager. Find your category below:

Trades & construction

Builders, foundation specialists, electricians, plumbers, painters — where trust on the job site is everything.

Hair & beauty salons

Stylists, colourists, day spas, brow & lash studios — visual work that thrives on before/after content.

Airbnbs & holiday properties

Short-stay owner-hosts. We turn empty calendar slots into direct bookings and one-time guests into regulars.

Hospitality & food

Cafes, restaurants, food trucks, bars. Daily content that turns walk-ins into regulars and regulars into advocates.

Creators & personal brands

Coaches, consultants, athletes, public-facing professionals — building audience and business around their name.

Retail & professional services

Boutique shops, accountants, lawyers, real-estate agents — businesses where local trust drives every conversion.

Us vs traditional agencies

Same outcome. A fraction of the cost.
None of the friction.

Stories from clients

People building real businesses on the Pacific.

Names changed for privacy. Permission given. Industries shown to keep it honest.

"I went from posting maybe twice a month to having content live every day. Bookings doubled inside the first quarter. I never have to sit in front of a screen wondering what to caption."

Mele V.
Salon owner · Apia, Sāmoa

"Worked with two agencies before STANZ. Both were a slow drip of bad content and big invoices. STANZ flipped it — daily posts, monthly Zoom, fair price. We're booked out three weeks ahead."

Anaru K.

"They handle my Instagram DMs better than I would. Genuine, on-brand, fast. My Airbnb is getting direct-book inquiries every week now and I haven't lifted a finger past approving a few clips."

Holiday-property host · Tauranga
How we work

One short conversation a month.
We handle the rest.

01

You film once.

Pull out your phone on a job, in the salon, on the deck overlooking the lagoon, behind the counter. Five to ten short clips a month into a private folder. That's your input.

02

Content is produced in seconds, not days.

Captions, hooks, hashtags, voiceover, fully rendered videos, branded overlays — produced in your voice. Preview ready in under a minute.

03

You approve from your phone.

Previews land in a private channel. Thumbs-up to publish. Send back for a tweak. Done.

04

We publish — and we handle inbound.

One approval, fanned out across every channel. Incoming DMs come through us first, drafted for your approval before any reply.

05

A short monthly review.

Twenty-minute Zoom. Numbers in plain English. What worked, what didn't, what we'll try next month. No slide decks. No jargon.

Proof of work

The numbers from businesses on the engine right now.

Aggregated across active client portfolios in NZ, Sāmoa and Queensland. Industry mix: trades, salons, holiday properties, hospitality, creators.

Common questions

What people ask before signing on.

Is this AI-generated content? My customers will be able to tell.

The engine assists; you approve every post. Captions are written against your specific business voice — set during onboarding — and tracked so nothing repeats. Videos use your own footage. Nothing goes out without your thumbs-up.

What does "results in seconds" actually mean?

Once you've dropped footage and approved the angle, our production pipeline turns it into a finished post in under a minute — captions, voiceover, branded overlays, all of it. Traditional agencies take days for the same output. That speed is how we keep pricing fair without sacrificing quality.

I'm not in Hamilton, Apia or Brisbane. Can you still work with me?

Yes. Those are just where our team is based. We work with small businesses anywhere in New Zealand, Australia, and across the Pacific. Onboarding is Zoom. Footage uploaded remotely. Everything else happens online. Active clients in Auckland, Tauranga, Waikato, Sāmoa, and Queensland.

What if I don't have any footage to start with?

We start you with a guided three-to-five clip onboarding session. You don't need to be a videographer. Most of our best-performing content is filmed on iPhones, in five-minute chunks during normal work. Stylists film clients (with permission). Tradies film job sites. Hosts film their property at golden hour. Simple.

Will posting actually drive leads for my business?

Consistency is the prerequisite, not the guarantee. Most small businesses we onboard aren't posting at all — so even decent consistent content moves the needle. We track views, click-throughs, and inquiries each month and adjust angles. If the numbers aren't trending after ninety days, we restructure. We don't just keep posting.

How does inbound DM handling work — what stops you from saying something I wouldn't?

Every reply is drafted by us and sent to you for thumbs-up before it goes back to the customer. You see every message. You set the boundaries during onboarding — what we can answer directly, what we always escalate, the tone we use. Over time we earn more latitude, but you stay in control from day one.

What does onboarding actually look like?

Week one: ninety-minute Zoom to define voice, audience, pain points, and first content angles. We capture existing footage and brand assets. Week two: first three-to-five posts published. Week three onwards: daily rhythm. By end of week four you have a full month of content live and your first set of numbers.
