Smartphone Content Training for Queenstown Businesses, with the Queenstown Business Chamber

In August 2026 I ran The Content Engine, a two-session smartphone content workshop series, in partnership with the Queenstown Business Chamber and Noel Leeming. Local business owners and their teams learned to shoot, edit and plan their own content on the phones they already own, and left with the confidence to do it all themselves.
