Five options, each a different layout. Pick one number and use that option's banner, headline and Featured tile together. Every option sends people to your free five-line form (the slide-by-slide plan you send back within two working days), with the keyword “PLAN”. Each banner is shown at real phone size too, so you can see it reads.
Who: NZ CEOs and CFOs with a board paper, AGM or investor deck coming up.
The workshop: a private breakfast, "One decision in the room", built on the high-stakes government brief you built with KiwiRail that won investor buy-in.
Your profile: every banner and headline tells the same "$10B of approvals, one decision in the room" story. "PLAN" gets people your free five-line slide plan, and the workshop is where they build one with you.
Who gets what: the one-shot DM goes to anyone who likes, comments or connects. The workshop invites go to your NZ target list of CEOs and CFOs. Never both to the same person in the same week.

Send it to anyone who likes or comments on your posts, or who's just connected. Swap the highlighted bits for each person.
Hey [FIRST NAME], I'm just heading out the door to [pick up one of the kids from ACTIVITY], so I thought I'd send this quickly before I forget.
I saw you [liked / commented on] my post about [TOPIC] (or: thanks for connecting!), so I wanted to properly say hello.
I'm Rebecca and I run Stir Creative. I build the board, AGM and investor decks where one decision is on the line, so the board decides on the day instead of saying "let's circle back".
I had a look at your profile, and you reminded me of [CLIENT NAME], who I was just working with.
[He/She] had [THE ROOM] coming up, and [RESULT].
It works because we start from the decision, not the design. The ask goes on slide 2, not slide 42, and the alternatives are closed before anyone can reopen them. One client sent me 52 slides recently. We cut it to 18 and the board approved it.
It's taken me 18 years and the decks behind about $10B of New Zealand approvals to get this right.
Right now we've got an offer where [THE OFFER].
As you can imagine, the "just in case" slide isn't a big fan of us haha. But the fewer papers that get parked, the better.
Anyway, I really have to go or I'll be late for [ACTIVITY].
Would you like me to walk you through how it works? I've got [TIME 1] or [TIME 2] free tomorrow.
If not, no biggie at all. I'm happy to just send you my five-line form instead. You tell me your argument in five lines, and I'll send back a slide-by-slide plan for your deck within two working days.
Nice to meet you!
Cheers,
Rebecca
A second way in. Invite your best-fit people to a small, private session. The first two messages only ask if they'd like to come. The link only goes out in the last one, or once they say yes. Swap the [highlighted] bits yourself; the {curly} bits fill in automatically.
Why this workshop: It's built on your KiwiRail work: a high-stakes government brief where, in Garry Whale's words (Group Manager Market Strategies, KiwiRail), the deck "won investor buy-in, boosted stakeholder confidence, and cut time-to-market". That's the room every CEO and CFO on your list is about to walk into.
If you've chatted with them before, open with: "Hey {First name}, I remember we were chatting about [X] at [WHERE]." Then carry on with the invite.
A private 90-minute breakfast for [SEATS, e.g. 12] CEOs and CFOs, in [PLACE] on {Day + date}, 7:30am before the day starts. If your people are in Wellington or Christchurch, run it on Zoom instead.
Hey {First name}, I know this is a bit random.
I'm hosting a small breakfast for CFOs and CEOs in [PLACE] on {Day + date}, walking through how we cut a 52-slide board deck to 18, and the board approved it quickly instead of tabling it for further review.
Would you like to come?
Hey {First name}, I know this is a bit random.
I'm hosting a small breakfast for senior leaders in [PLACE] on {Day + date}, walking through the high-stakes government brief we built with KiwiRail that won investor buy-in and cut time-to-market.
Would you like to come?
Hey {First name}, I know this is a bit random.
I'm hosting a small breakfast for CEOs in [PLACE] on {Day + date}, walking through how Xceda raised new equity off the back of the investor presentations we rebuilt together.
Would you like to come?
Hey Aroha, I know this is a bit random.
I saw your company has its AGM coming up in November, and I'm hosting a small breakfast for CFOs and CEOs in Auckland on Thursday 22 October, walking through how we cut a 52-slide board deck to 18, and the board approved it quickly instead of tabling it for further review.
Would you like to come?
Hey {First name}, I was chatting to [A PEER LIKE THEM, e.g. a CFO at an NZX-listed company] who's stuck on [PROBLEM], and it reminded me to reach back out.
Keen to come?
Hey {First name}, I swear this is my last message haha.
It'll be a room of [SEATS] CEOs and CFOs on {Day + date}, and we'll go deep on getting your recommendation onto slide 2, so the board can decide on the day.
If you'd like a seat, you can book here: [LINK]
Once I see you've booked, I'll give you a quick call to hear what you've got coming up and run you through who else is in the room.
And if you're snowed under, no biggie at all. Just let me know and I'll reach out for the next one.
Awesome, we'd love to have you there! Here's the link: [LINK]
Do you have 5 minutes at [TIME] or [TIME] today? I'd love to run you through who else is coming.
