In short

Vertical video in three questions

Updated

Why do brands produce vertical videos?

Because that is where screen time is. In France, mobile accounts for 80% of time spent online, and more than 90% among 15 to 24-year-olds, according to Médiamétrie. Within that mobile time, TikTok has 27.8 million monthly users in France, according to the TikTok newsroom. A video designed for a phone held upright fills the whole screen instead of a narrow strip. It is the native format of TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Which format should you choose for TikTok, Reels and Shorts?

Vertical 9:16, everywhere. TikTok lists it as the recommended format in its ad specifications. On length, the rules have changed: a YouTube Short can run up to 3 minutes since October 2024, and so can an Instagram Reel since January 2025. At Esekai, we deliver every video in 9:16 with subtitles, then cut it into several lengths depending on the platform and the goal.

How much does a branded vertical video cost?

The price depends on four things: the number of videos, the shooting location (our Paris studio or your premises), whether creators or actors are involved, and the level of management after delivery (publishing, advertising, reporting). A series of videos shot on the same day costs far less per unit than a single video. We price every project on a quote, after a 30-minute call. To see what a well-spent budget can achieve, theBYD case study shows cost per click cut by a factor of 2.6.

A studio that creates 9:16 content, the native format of TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. These videos are designed for mobile viewing and platform algorithms. Esekai produces them in our Paris studio or on location at clients' sites across France.

A creative ads agency designs video ads built for social platforms: tested hooks, native 9:16 formats and data-driven iterations. At Esekai, every creative ad is produced in-house in Paris (script, shoot, edit), then adapted for TikTok Ads and Meta Ads to lower your acquisition costs.

A UGC studio in Paris gives you access to a network of creators, fast shoots and creative direction that knows the codes of social media. Esekai handles casting, scripts and production of your UGC videos from start to finish, with authentic content that converts better than traditional advertising.

Creative ads are structured advertising for paid media (TikTok Ads, Meta Ads). UGC videos mirror authentic creator content to build trust and convert. Organic content builds your social presence over the long term. The three are complementary.

Yes. Our crews travel throughout France, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lille, Nice, Toulouse, Nantes and every region.

We work on a six-month minimum. A video content strategy performs best over time: the first six months let us test, refine and optimise for durable, compounding results.

Cost depends on the number of videos and the level of management you want. Get in touch for a tailored quote, strong value and measurable return.
