Attention Is The New Form Of Currency In 2026.
I built my audience to over 100,000. Then helped 200+ brands grow theirs. Now I'll help you build yours.

We Know Social Media Is Important.
But Where Do You Start?
Posting isn't the problem. Most founders and teams don't know how attention on short-form video actually works, so effort doesn't turn into growth.
The most common questions I get: What do I post? Where do I start? I've run out of ideas.
After doing this for the last 10 years, I've learnt how to navigate those problems and create systems and frameworks to create consistent content that people actually want to watch.
How It Works.

I work with you directly to build your content strategy, create a system you can actually execute, and grow an audience that compounds over time.

Brands I've Created Content For
Via The Attention Seeker + Personal Brand Partnerships
I Started Making Videos In 2011. I've Never Stopped.
Started making videos after school at the skate park with friends.
Started taking Instagram seriously and became obsessed with understanding why people watch content.
Dropped out of university. I was failing and didn't like the path I was on. Studied at Media Design School and got a Bachelor of Media Design, 2019 to 2021.
Working construction. Trying to find my foot in the industry. A man named Stanley Henry gave me that chance when I joined The Attention Seeker, when it was just a LinkedIn ghostwriting thing. Little did I know it would go on to become the biggest social media marketing agency in the country.
Joined as their first videographer. I'd failed engineering, was working construction. Stanley took a chance on me.
During that time I:
- Helped scale the team from 6 to 40 people
- Built the production arm from 1 to 14 staff
- Worked with 200+ brands
- Built the highest engaged ad globally on TikTok with One NZ
- Toured with Six60 creating social content
- Generated millions of views across campaigns
- Grew my own channels to 100,000+ followers
Started Daplaza, my clothing brand. Made a video every single day for 330+ days.
Started my personal brand. I lost the passion to keep Daplaza going, and my attention switched. I understood the long-term value of a personal brand. If I had attention and a brand, I could get to a point where I could do whatever I want.
Signed with No Sad Cowboys talent agency. Now doing UGC for brands like Pump, Woolworths, Anchor, Extra Gum, La Roche-Posay, Garnier, Chemist Warehouse, Musashi.
I reached a point where things felt comfortable, and that's exactly when I knew I needed to take a risk. Now I'm chasing my own dream.

Personal Case Studies
Daplaza
Daplaza was my first real business, a clothing brand.
I didn't build a brand then find an audience. I documented the journey publicly. People followed the story. Sales followed.
I lost the passion to keep it going. My attention switched to building my personal brand. I understood the long-term value.

connor@byransley.comHelping the Next Generation of Young Ambitious People
I'm launching a community for young people who have big dreams and want to create their own life, to go out and do great things.
I know that having a personal brand is why I've been able to do that. I want to help others build theirs.
Let's Talk.
If you know your brand should be showing up online but don't know where to start, let's figure it out.
Why build a personal brand? A lot of people work with you because they like you. A personal brand is taking the personality you already have, the one that already works in real life, and putting it online. Instead of speaking to 10 people a day, you can speak to a million. Where attention goes, the money will follow.
