I work with businesses all over France, and I travel to film

Running the campaigns and editing happen remotely. The shoot happens at your place: it is the one moment that needs us in the same room.

What happens remotely, and why it changes nothing

Building the campaigns, editing, conversion tracking and the weekly check-in all happen remotely. That is true of almost every media buyer, including the ones with an office down the road from you: nobody runs an ad account from inside your premises.

What matters is how fast you get an answer. You have my number, not a support form, and I answer myself. A supplier twenty minutes away who calls back in three days serves you worse than one at a distance who answers within the hour.

The shoot, on site

That is the one moment that needs us in the same place, and I travel for it. Half a day on site is enough to produce what will feed several weeks of ads: you or someone from your team on camera, a job or a workshop behind you, a few shots of what you make.

We agree the angles beforehand, by phone, so the half day is spent filming rather than working out what to say. Editing, grading and subtitles follow.

The cities I travel to

Anywhere in mainland France. In practice, trips are organised around the larger urban areas and what surrounds them.

  • Île-de-France: Paris and the inner suburbs, Essonne, Seine-et-Marne.
  • West: Nantes, Rennes, Angers, Le Mans, Tours.
  • South-west: Bordeaux, Toulouse, Bayonne, La Rochelle.
  • South-east: Lyon, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Nice, Montpellier, Nîmes, Avignon.
  • East and north: Strasbourg, Dijon, Metz, Nancy, Lille, Reims, Amiens, Rouen, Caen.
  • Centre and Auvergne: Orléans, Clermont-Ferrand, Limoges, Saint-Étienne, Grenoble.

And if you would rather not be filmed

Some of my clients are never filmed, either because they do not want to be or because they sell something that cannot be shown. The ads are then produced entirely in AI, and the question of travelling does not arise at all.

It is weaker than a real job filmed on site, and I say so on the call rather than in the third month. But it runs, and several of the ads in the portfolio are made that way.

Common questions

Where are you based?
In the Paris region: my business is registered in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, Essonne, south of Paris. Paris and the whole Île-de-France region are within a day's reach for a shoot, and I work remotely with clients elsewhere in France and Europe.
Is travel billed separately?
We discuss it on the call, along with everything else. What matters is how many shoots your year needs: one a year does not price like one every two months.
Do you work with businesses outside France?
Yes, as long as we share a language and the advertising is in French. Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg work exactly the same way; the market and the cost benchmarks shift a little.
I would rather have someone in my city.
That is a fair criterion, and it has never stopped anyone working with me. Ask yourself the two questions that matter more: how fast you get an answer, and who actually works on your account.

Depending on your trade and what you sell, filming changes everything or almost nothing. We settle it on the call, on your case.
