How to steal it

setting · outdoor city
  1. 01
    Hook (0-2s)

    Open with the "people close to me hated me" beat. No intro card, no logo, no greeting.

    Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.

  2. 02
    Set the frame (2-4s)

    Establish outdoor city with your hero prop. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.

    Brickell · Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.

  3. 03
    Payoff (4-9s)

    Use direct to camera rant to deliver the rewatch moment. One idea, one take.

    Brickell · Cut on the reaction, not the line. If it's a price reveal, hold the number on screen for 1.5s.

  4. 04
    Reaction / proof (9-13s)

    Show the consequence. Bystander head-turn, valet face, on-screen receipt — whatever makes the payoff feel real.

    Brickell · Casa Tua and Komodo valets are cinematic. E11even paddock for nightlife crowd. Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = prebuilt audience.

Your version

Alex-voiced hooks3/3
Variant 1

My coworkers at ZoomInfo thought I was insane for quitting the number one seat.

Film in front of the GT3 RS or penthouse window. Story beat: I was the top AE, everyone said I was throwing it away. Cut to OVO managing Nike and Gymshark campaigns. The people who called you crazy become the proof you were early.

Variant 2

People I grew up with still don't believe I manage creators for Nike.

Casual face-to-camera in the Brickell penthouse, night skyline behind. Talk about how nobody from your circle understood creator management as a career, and now you place graduates into real brand deals at OVO. Reframe doubt as fuel, position viewer as the next person whose friends won't get it yet.

05
CTA / outro (13-15s)

Implicit beats explicit. Let the caption + pinned comment ask. End on the asset, not your face.

Brickell · Tag @imalexgunnar in the caption. Pin the objection comment within 60s of posting.

Where in Miami
  • Gas station · Shell SW 8th + Brickell Ave (24/7, premium pump, clean lighting).
  • Valet · Casa Tua, Komodo, E11even — pull-up + handoff is the cinematic moment.
  • Penthouse · Flow Brickell roof or your unit. Skyline backdrop reads premium.
  • Track / paddock · Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = pre-built audience.
  • Cold start · Brickell Ave south of 8th at 6:30am — empty street, hard light.
Variant 3

My old sales floor laughed when I said I'd build an agency from nothing at 22.

Open on the Porsche GT3 RS keys or walk-around in the Brickell garage. Tell the quick story of leaving a safe six-figure trajectory while people openly mocked the idea. Three years later, OVO runs Celsius and Gatorade campaigns. CTA into ROSTER as the viewer's version of that same bet.
