‼️ “Oh, but nobody can quote like I do.”
—
I’ve had a LOT of conversations with business owners today about our Ai Concierge.

My favourite objection so far?

“Oh, but nobody can quote like I do.”

Okay. Fair.
But why are we jumping straight to getting Ai to quote exactly like you?

What happens BEFORE the quote?

The missed call while you’re on a job.
The “how much?” message at 8pm.
Finding out what they actually need. Getting their suburb, measurements, photos, timeframe, budget. Following up when they disappear.

Does all of THAT really need you?

That’s the part I think business owners need to get their heads around.

Ai doesn’t need to replace the thing you’re brilliant at.

It needs to take the s**t surrounding it off your plate.

And then we train it.

We teach it your business. Your processes. The questions you ask. When it can handle something and when it needs to shut up and hand it to you.

And it gets better.

We’re doing exactly that with Sophie, our own Ai Concierge.

Last night, whilst I was out at dinner with friends, Sophie was talking to people interested in what we’ve built. She answered questions, collected their details and booked the right ones into my calendar.

I spoke to them today.

That’s the freedom I’m talking about.

Not replacing you.

Making sure your business doesn’t need you for every. single. bloody. thing.

Want to see it happen?

Comment SAVE ME and it’ll send you straight to Sophie. Have a chat with her and see where she takes you.

You might end up in my calendar 😂

So… now for the part I couldn’t fit into the slides.

We’ve built this. We’re using it ourselves. And now we’re ready to start rolling it out to other small businesses.

Our Ai Concierge can answer calls, respond to DMs, answer the questions you get asked 47 times a week, check availability, make bookings, follow up enquiries and keep things moving when you’re busy actually running your business.

And here’s the number I want you to think about:

How much is ONE missed booking worth to your business?

Because this doesn’t need to bring you hundreds of new customers to make sense.

Sometimes it just needs to stop you losing the customers who were already trying to give you their money.

For our existing Co.Lab Space clients, we’re offering 50% off setup + 50% off monthly management for the first 12 months.

And yes, we built it for ourselves first.

Because apparently after 13 years of answering restaurant phones, I finally found a way to stop answering the bloody phone. 😂

If you’re curious about what it could actually do inside your business, comment “SAVE ME” and Sophie will answer you (and you get to experience it too) *it’ll work for both Facebook AND Instagram

💕💕 “We can’t, our families don’t know we’re seeing each other yet.’

That’s what a couple told us recently when we asked customers at Vine&Grind Liverpool if they wanted to be in our video. (We were asking people to bite chicken tenders covered in their delicious mushroom sauce 🤤 … ok I digress…. off a metal arm.)

Here’s why we still do stuff like this: it’s not really about the video. It’s about the reaction. That half-second where someone hesitates, laughs, or goes “wait, what” ➡️ that’s the part people actually respond to. You can’t script that, and people can tell.

Our brains are wired to filter out anything that feels produced. But a real reaction slips right past that filter, because it doesn’t look like anyone’s trying to sell you something.

And once someone believes what they’re seeing is real, they stop watching from a distance and start wanting to be part of it. That’s the shift. Not the final video …. the moment it was made from.

❤️‍🔥 massive thank you to “Keep On Pressing On” for always supporting us

If you’re after authentic, no cheesy acting kind of content, we’d love to be considered

Written reviews tell you what people thought. Live testimonials show you how they felt.

That’s why I love capturing reactions while the experience is still fresh.

Tonight we captured Sydney Corporate Wedding Magician | Erbzmagic 🇦🇺 in his MC & magic element at the TheFormalProjectBloom held at Wests League Club

There’s no time to polish the perfect response or overthink what to say. You get the excitement, the laughter, the little moments you just can’t write into a review.

It’s not about replacing written reviews. They still matter (if people are even bothered to go home, find your Google listing and actually type one out) But video testimonials add something words alone often can’t… emotion.

And when people are deciding whether to book you, that genuine feeling can be far more convincing than a five-star rating.

Let’s be real: pretty feeds and aesthetic content are amazing. We love creating them, and as you can see from our clients’ text reactions, our teams absolutely obsess over perfecting every single page of content, photography, and social management. 🫶✨
But if your agency is only focusing on the grid, you’re missing the engine room.

The biggest, business-altering results—like a casual $11,800 month for a single facial treatment or completely selling out a calendar 3 weeks in advance, don’t happen by accident. They happen because we marry high-converting content with backend sales funnels and optimized landing pages. 🌪️💸

It’s about creating a clear, seamless path that turns a passive viewer into a booked-and-paid client while you sleep.

We love celebrating the wins across the board, because every piece of the puzzle matters:

🔹 Social Media Management (Building the community)

🔹 Content Creation & Photography (Stopping the scroll)

🔹 Funnels & Landing Pages (Closing the actual revenue)

If you’re ready for a full-stack team that treats your brand like a real business instead of just an art project...

📲 Swipe to the last slide and drop us a DM with the word “FUNNEL” to see how we can map out a custom strategy for your next rollout.

*Sydney based but funnels can be built for anyone in Australia

Remember that dodgy walking pad I bought off Facebook Marketplace?

The one everyone questioned… including me.

Well, here it is. And I’d say I’ve definitely got my money’s worth.

One thing I’ve learnt running this business is that I’m always happy to test an idea. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it completely flops. But I’d rather be the business trying something different than the one making the same content as everyone else.

Standing out usually starts with someone looking a little bit crazy first. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

So here’s the finished setup that we did for Marlo’s All Day

Anyways, throw me a random product/ prop and let’s see if we can integrate into our next shoot ….

July so far…

The new financial year has kicked off exactly how we like it. Busy, unpredictable and definitely not boring.

One of the things I love most about this job is that no two days ever look the same.

The first half of the month is usually back-to-back shoots. Early starts, late finishes, multiple locations and plenty of coffee. Then the second half shifts into editing, strategy, analytics, client check-ins and planning what’s next.

Even with a content calendar mapped out, things change constantly. Businesses evolve, opportunities pop up, trends move, priorities shift. That’s just the reality of running a business, so we’ve learnt to roll with it.

One shoot this month was meant to take three or four hours. We wrapped up almost six hours later. Was it planned? Not at all. Was it worth it? Every minute.

That’s the part I genuinely love. Every business has a different story, a different challenge and a different way of connecting with people. We just get to help bring that to life through content.

If your business is doing great work but not enough people know about it, send us a DM. We’d love to help you tell that story.

I know this has been explained a hundred times before… but judging by how often this gets asked, it probably needs to be explained another hundred.

One of the most common questions we get is:
“Would it be cheaper if we just got the RAW files?”

It reminds me of when we owned our restaurant.

We had someone genuinely ask, “If I bring my own salmon, can you just slice it up for sashimi and charge me less?”

We couldn’t help but laugh.

I’ve even heard from MUA’s , “would it be cheaper if i brought my own foundation?”

Because whether it’s photography, videography, makeup, food, or design, you’re rarely paying for the raw ingredients. You’re paying for the experience, the knowledge, the years of practice, and the ability to turn something ordinary into something worth sharing.

The edit isn’t an optional extra. It’s where the vision comes to life.

So here’s your friendly reminder that cheaper isn’t always better, especially when the very thing you’re removing is the part that makes the biggest difference.

Has this happened in your profession?
