Street interview ads in Birmingham
Street interview video ads filmed with real people in Birmingham for paid social, not billboards, roadside or outdoor advertising. We have filmed two separate shoots here, including one for an anonymous UK fintech client. From questions and street filming to editing, one shoot day produces 20 to 40 ad variants for your paid-social campaigns.
/ Where we film
High footfall streets, on purpose.
- New Street and the pedestrianised stretch toward the Bullring, for steady footfall through the day.
- Corporation Street and Victoria Square, for wider shots with the city behind the person talking.
- The Bullring and Grand Central approaches, for a mixed crowd rather than one type of shopper.
/ Why Birmingham
Enough strangers, in one day.
The format needs a constant supply of strangers who will stop and answer a question on camera. Birmingham's central streets give us that inside a single filming day, without a long walk between locations.
It also gives us a fair mix of people. The reactions you end up running as ads come from ordinary people in the middle of their day.
/ How a filming day runs
One day, a library of ads.
Concepts first
The questions and angles are written before the crew arrives in Birmingham, so filming time goes on strangers, not on deciding what to ask.
Casting on the street
A human crew approaches people on the day. Everyone on camera signs a release, with paid usage rights across Meta, TikTok, YouTube and other platforms.
Filming and editing
Each concept is filmed with different people, then cut into hook variations. One shoot day produces 20 to 40 ad variants.

Every figure we quote comes from a client ad account, with the screenshots to match. See the proof page. For the format itself, read street interview ads.

/ Questions
Birmingham questions
- Do you film in Birmingham yourselves?
- Yes. A Stradvert crew films on the street in Birmingham. There is no outsourcing to freelancers we have never met, and no stock footage.
- How many ads come out of one filming day?
- One shoot day produces 20 to 40 ad variants. Different people, different hooks, different openings, so there is a batch to test rather than a single video to hope for.
- Are the people in the ads real strangers?
- Yes. Everyone on camera is a member of the public approached on the day, and everyone signs a release with paid usage rights.
- How do I know the format works?
- We publish client ad account data, with screenshots, on our proof page. Spend, revenue and purchases straight from the accounts.
