How to steal it

setting · otherdevice · breakdown with b roll
  1. 01
    Hook (0-2s)

    Open with the "old friends hated my ambition" beat. No intro card, no logo, no greeting.

    Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave between Casa Tua and the GT3 RS. The reveal IS the hook.

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

    Establish other with supercar + phone. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.

    Brickell · GT3 RS in frame, Sony A7C II + 16mm low and wide. Engine on for the ambient note.

  3. 03
    Payoff (4-9s)

    Use breakdown with b roll 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 hooks · success_story_flex3/3
Variant 1

My friends from ZoomInfo thought I was insane for quitting the number one seat.

Alex talks to camera in the penthouse, explains how his coworkers called him crazy for leaving the top AE spot at 22 to start OVO with zero clients, then cuts to B-roll of current Nike and Gymshark campaign dashboards as the receipt.

Variant 2

People I grew up with stopped talking to me when I bought a GT3 RS at 25.

Opens with Alex walking toward the Porsche in the Brickell garage, shares how old friends got weird once the money got real, pivots into teaching that managing creators for brands like Celsius and Gatorade is the skill that changed everything.

    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.

    • ✓phone
    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 college friends still think managing influencers is not a real job.

    Alex films face-to-camera on the Brickell penthouse balcony at night, sarcastically lists what his old friends consider real jobs, then contrasts it with OVO collecting 25% on every brand deal while he films this from a Miami skyline view. Ends with the ROSTER CTA.
