Video ads
Video ad agency for startups
We make video ads for startups: written to stop the scroll, made with the craft of short film, and cut for the platforms where you actually spend.
Ads made like short films
Ads made like short films get watched. Ads made like brochures get skipped. Fikra makes short films too (Cette Odeur won the Mashup Culture first prize), and the same tools go into our commercials: a character, a tension and a payoff, delivered in seconds.
One concept, many cuts
One concept, shot once, should give you enough material to test: different hooks, lengths and formats. We plan the cutdowns before the shoot, so the variations are designed rather than salvaged in the edit.
Retainers for teams that keep shipping
If ads are an ongoing need, the Content Retainer delivers monthly ads and social pieces, with hooks written for retention and platform-native edits (three-month minimum). The Studio Retainer adds campaign films, a dedicated creative lead and priority shoot days.
What we need from you
Your goal, your audience, one person who can say yes, and brand guidelines if you have them. Concept, script, crew, casting, locations and post are on us.

Questions
What kind of video ads do you make?
Live-action commercials and social ads for startups, from a single spot to a monthly series on a retainer.
How many versions do we get?
The proposal lists every version: a master plus cutdowns for each channel you run, in the ratios each platform needs.
Can you refresh ads when they stop performing?
Yes. That is what the Content Retainer is for: new ads and social pieces every month.
Who writes the ads?
We do. Concept and script are part of the work, and we write the first three seconds before anything else.
What if we do not like the cut?
Unlimited revisions on the agreed cut, within scope, until you are happy.
