Creator Business

Kia ora, fellow creators. MaTitie here from BaoLiba. Let’s talk about something that might feel distant but hits closer to home than you think: Switzerland’s new advertising rules on Facebook. You’re sitting in Auckland, maybe Christchurch or a lifestyle block near Queenstown, juggling the kids’ school runs with content calendars and brand negotiations.

You’re standing in your spare room-turned-studio in Auckland, surrounded by rails of 1970s silk blouses and 90s designer denim. Your phone buzzes — another DM asking “is this still available?” on Instagram. You’ve got 12.3k followers there, decent engagement, but the algorithm’s been weird lately.
