Reelwire for public bodies

Your residents moved. The duty to inform did not.

Collection calendars, roadworks, water levels, council decisions, warnings. Turned into designed short video for the channels residents actually use, every day, ready to post, without anybody making it by hand.

The obligation did not move with the audience

The duty to inform is unchanged. The people it applies to are now somewhere a two-person office cannot serve by hand, and that gap is the whole argument.

The channel has to exist before the emergency

A warning reaches whoever was already following. An account that posts twice a month has nobody to reach. The routine daily material is not filler: it builds the audience that is there when something serious happens.

Accessibility is in the template, not on a checklist

Captions, contrast and legible type are properties of the template, so every asset made from it inherits them. For a public body that is a requirement rather than a nicety, and having it by construction is different from checking it on every post.

Real renders

One post, in every shape your channels want

These are renders out of the engine, not mock-ups. The same template lays itself out again for each shape rather than being cropped, so nothing that carries the information falls off the edge.

9:16, for Reels, Shorts and TikTok
1:1, for the feeds
16:9, for YouTube and the web
Every language

And again in each language you publish in

One composition, 5 of the languages it renders in. Nobody re-timed the text: the layout arranges itself around whatever the words turn out to be.

English
German
Spanish
French
Arabic
Examples

Something happens. A clip is ready.

The fact already exists as data, somebody is meant to post about it today, and nobody has the hours. Three of the moments it happens, each with the source it reads and the template it draws.

A road closes

Where, how long and which way round instead, while it still matters to anybody.

Templates

28 templates built for public bodies

A designer draws a template once and the engine fills it thousands of times. Your brand decides the colours, the type, the logo and the legal line; the template decides everything else, in every ratio and every language at once.

Showing 28 of 28 templates.

Numbers and deltas

Big number reveal

One figure counts up to its value on a branded field, with unit, label and timestamp. The most reused primitive in the set: any single-value fact in the data table renders through it.
