The Business Tune-Up: Torque & Ledger

The Business Tune-Up is a one-minute animated brand explainer for a fictional small-business consulting firm, Torque & Ledger. Instead of a generic "we help businesses grow" pitch, the whole service is told as a garage tune-up. Maya, who runs a coffee shop, is driving her business on a stalling engine: the check-engine light is on, the numbers are fogged over, and things are held together with duct tape. Gus the mechanic pops the hood, runs a full diagnostic (each system lights green, amber or red), makes the repairs with her or for her, and keeps her tuned with monthly check-ins. Bold cartoon characters, moving AI-animated shots and drawn motion graphics carry the metaphor all the way through, narrated by an upbeat commercial voice over a light funk-pop bed. It was delivered in both 16:9 and a native 9:16 cut: the vertical version plays on the phone in Maya's hand, and a Widescreen button opens the 16:9 master.
