Street interview ads in Leeds

    Leeds works for the same reason our other locations do: compact, busy streets where a crew can approach a lot of people in one day.

    / Where we film

    High footfall streets, on purpose.

    • Briggate, the main pedestrian run, for volume of people in a short stretch.
    • Trinity Leeds and Albion Street, for shelter and a clean background when the weather turns.
    • Park Row and City Square, for a working city look rather than a shopping one.

    / Why Leeds

    Enough strangers, in one day.

    Everything is close together, so filming time goes on approaching strangers instead of moving between locations. That is what produces a batch of ads from one day rather than a single hero video.

    The crowd changes through the day, which matters. Different people, different answers, more usable hooks to test in the feed.

    / How a filming day runs

    One day, a library of ads.

    Concepts first

    The questions and angles are written before the crew arrives in Leeds, 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.

    Real work, real accounts.

    Leeds is available as a filming location on request. The published account data behind our work sits on the proof page.

    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.

    We recommend the right scope on the call and send a tailored proposal.

    / Questions

    Leeds questions

    Do you film in Leeds yourselves?
    Yes. A Stradvert crew films on the street in Leeds. 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.
