When the founders speak for themselves, the product finally makes sense.
Nobody buys what they don't understand.
Zeroo had built something genuinely new — a shared equity platform that could get Australians into homes they couldn't otherwise afford. The challenge wasn't the product. It was that shared equity is complicated, unfamiliar, and easy to distrust. Their target audience kept hitting the same wall: confusion before conversion.
The category is full of financial services content that talks at people, not with them. Nobody was putting the founders on camera to answer the hard questions directly. That was the gap.
Put the founders on camera. Let them answer everything.
What started as a personal branding shoot became something more useful. On one day, on one location, we captured a full suite of founder portraits for PR and launch collateral — and a series of FAQ videos built around the exact questions Zeroo's audience was already asking. One shoot. Multiple outputs.
No actors. No voiceover. No polished corporate explainer. Just the founders, on camera, speaking plainly about how their platform works. The kind of content that builds trust before a customer ever fills out a form.
"Shanks took care of everything and made it super easy. All our team had to do was show up. We're super thrilled with the results."
— Lucinda Hartley, Zeroo Home Loans
1 Shoot. Three deliverables. One Capital Brief feature.
The shoot produced a full personal brand portrait suite used across launch PR, a four-part FAQ video series deployed on Zeroo's website and social channels, and a press moment that landed Zeroo in Capital Brief at launch. Everything from one day on location.
The best content brief isn't always the one the client walks in with. Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is recognise the problem they haven't named yet.
Zeroo got brand photography, customer education, and a press moment from one shoot. What's yours?
Two minutes. A tailored creative direction written specifically for your brief — formats, timeline, and investment range included.
Print technology that had to earn credibility in a room full of sceptics.
