Photos and Video
We shoot your space, your team and your work, or start from photos you send us.

AI Doesn’t Decide for You. People Do.
AI helps us draft captions and answer simple questions faster. People plan your month, finish every post and talk with you. You decide what goes out.

In the last week of the month, next month's posts arrive in your portal as a plan.
- 02
Shoot
Mostafa spends two hours at your place, or you send us your own photos and videos.
- 03

- 04
Approve
You approve each post or ask for changes, with up to two rounds per post.
- 05
Publish
Approved posts go out on schedule. Nothing goes live without a person's yes.
- 06
Reply and Report
We answer your comments and messages, and each month you get a report of what worked.
Approve Every Post from Your Phone
Every client gets a private portal. It works at your desk and on your phone, and it shows exactly where your month is.
- Content calendar. Approve a post or ask for changes in one tap.
- Statistics. Followers, reach, link taps and calls, and your best posts.
- Brand files. Your logo, colours and every photo and video for your posts.
- Invoices. Your plan, invoices and payments in one place.
Try it: approve a post in the preview. The portal opens with our first clients.

Questions Owners Ask
Which businesses do you work with?
Many kinds: restaurants, shops, dental clinics, service companies, landscapers and more. Some fields, such as certain medical services, have their own advertising rules. For those, we confirm what we can do when we review your business.
Do you use AI?
Yes, for first drafts of captions and quick answers to common questions such as opening hours. A person edits every caption, and nothing is posted until you approve it.
Can I use my own photos and videos?
Yes. Send us photos and videos from your phone, files you already have or pictures from your own photographer, and we turn them into finished posts.
Do you need my Instagram password?
No. You give us access through Meta Business Suite, so we never hold your password, and you can remove us at any time.
