Shooting, editing and publishing for brands in Liège

374 steps cut into the hillside, a white station that looks like a spaceship, and a Place du Marché rebuilt after the bombardments of 1691: Liège sets side by side settings that have nothing in common, linked by short walks. The city had 198,102 inhabitants on 1 January 2026 according to Statbel, as reported by IWEPS. For Liège's shops, brasseries and businesses, the script is written in Paris and the camera rolls on the banks of the Meuse: UGC, TikTok, Meta ads.

198,102 Liégeois and a Very Mixed Audience

According to WalStat, the IWEPS tool fed by Statbel, the Cité ardente had 198,102 people on 1 January 2026 across 68.7 km² (2,885.7 per km²), with an average age of 40.9 and 21.10% foreign residents, of whom 9.28% are nationals of other European Union countries and 11.82% from outside the Union. For a brand, this mix matters: a student from the centre, a family from Outremeuse and an executive arriving every morning at Guillemins do not react to the same film. We often prepare several hooks for a single ad, shot on the same day with different creators, so we can quickly test what works with each audience. The size of the city makes this kind of test possible in just a few days.

An International Station Serving Businesses

According to the tourist office, Liège-Guillemins is one of the busiest stations in Wallonia, with connections to Germany, France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. For a Liège company, this position at the crossroads of four countries widens both the market and the recruitment pool. A company hiring engineers, logistics staff or bilingual sales people needs to show its daily life in concrete terms: an employee presenting their role to camera, a workshop or warehouse tour commented by a manager, a sequence shot in the neighbourhood to show the living environment. We shoot these formats in a single day, with short versions for TikTok and Instagram and a more measured version for LinkedIn. For a B2B company, a product demo subtitled in French and Dutch or German goes well with a trade fair or a prospecting campaign.

Boulets, Waffles and the Batte Market

Liège has a cuisine that films itself: boulets à la liégeoise drowned in syrupy sauce, pearl-sugar waffles caramelising on the iron, a glass of péket served in a café in the centre. For a restaurant or brasserie, a close-up Reel on the steaming plate, with the sound of the dining room behind it, needs no commentary. On Sunday mornings, the Batte market, along the Meuse, provides the setting for very local UGC content: a creator who tastes, chats with a stallholder and leaves with arms full. The terraces of the Carré, the centre's district of bars and restaurants, suit evening videos. For a shop, a creator strolling through the pedestrian streets before pushing open the shop door gives an image that feels close and credible to Liégeois.

Bueren, Place du Marché and the Citadel Hillsides

The Montagne de Bueren and its 374 steps, a nineteenth-century cut that connected the citadel to the centre, bears the name of Vincent de Bueren, who with the Franchimontois tried to capture Charles the Bold and Louis XI on the night of 29 October 1468, the tourist office recalls. It is the obvious opening shot for a sports or fashion brand. The Citadel hillsides, a site rated 3 stars in the Michelin Green Guide according to the same source, offer views over the city and the Meuse valley. The Place du Marché, with the Perron, symbol of communal liberties, and the town hall known as La Violette, provides a historic setting. La Boverie, a former palace of the 1905 World's Fair, and Guillemins station bring more contemporary lines. Around 15 August, Outremeuse is in festival mode: perfect for atmosphere, not for calm.

From High-Speed Train to Front Row on the Steps

We travel to Liège by train as far as Guillemins, with light equipment that is easy to carry. The shoot is prepared remotely: script, hooks, creator casting, broadcast languages, technical breakdown, and a permit request to the City when we film on public land. For a company site, we gather the safety rules and the list of areas not to be filmed in advance. On the day, we start early on the Montagne de Bueren or the hillsides, while the steps are still empty, then move on to interiors and interviews, and finish with the terraces in the centre and a UGC creator's monologues. Editing is done by our Paris team, with one version per platform, ready to publish.

Why?

Why creative ads deliver better results

An ad that looks like an ad gets skipped in a second. A creative ad works on the hook, the message and the format so it is watched to the end, then tested and adapted for as long as it converts.

Yes, around the festival: your café full, your terrace buzzing, the neighbourhood's decorated streets. These days give very lively footage for TikTok and Instagram. The crowds, on the other hand, make calm product shots almost impossible. So we keep those days for atmosphere content and shoot the rest on another date.

Early in the morning, on weekdays and outside school holidays. The 374 steps attract many visitors and runners from late morning, especially in fine weather. A minimal shoot is possible at any time, but for a clean shot and a staged scene, we set the meeting time at dawn and plan a fallback in case of rain.

Yes, and for a local audience it is often what works best: a creator who talks about boulets, the Batte or the Carré sounds right to Liégeois. We favour local creators, prepare the script with you and supervise the shoot. For a campaign that also targets Germany or the Netherlands, we add bilingual profiles.

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.

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.

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.
