Shooting, editing and publishing for brands in Sion

Sion has 37,844 inhabitants as at 31 December 2025, according to the Canton of Valais portal, yet its Friday market draws customers from all over French-speaking Switzerland. This small capital, which speaks to an entire canton, is what we come to film. We make the trip from Paris to produce TikTok and Meta creative ads, UGC and Reels with the shopkeepers of the old town, the winemakers of the hillside and the teams at the Energypolis campus.

37,844 inhabitants, 35,000 jobs

The figure that matters in Sion is not the population but its relationship to employment. On its presentation page, the City counts 3,500 companies and 35,000 jobs, almost as many as inhabitants (37,844 as at 31 December 2025 according to the Valais4you cantonal portal). A significant share of the people who frequent the town on weekdays therefore come from neighbouring communes in central Valais. For a brand, the consequence is simple: a Meta or TikTok campaign targeted at the commune alone misses a good part of its audience. We build creative ads for the Agglo Valais central instead, with visual landmarks that the whole catchment area recognises, such as the rue du Grand-Pont or the silhouette of the two castles. When the stakes justify it, a German-subtitled version reaches Upper Valais without reshooting a single frame. It is the first question we ask a brand looking for a TikTok agency in Sion: how far does your customer base reach?

Energypolis: energy and green chemistry to film

The City highlights three fields: health, energy and geosciences. On the energy side, the showcase is called Energypolis: the campus brings together EPFL Valais Wallis, the Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie (HEI), the foundation The Ark and several start-ups in energy, green chemistry and the environment. According to the study by the CREA Institute published by the Canton of Valais in March 2026, it generated nearly 175 million Swiss francs of economic benefits in the canton in 2024. These organisations have two concrete video needs. First, recruiting: engineers and researchers who need to be convinced to settle in Valais want to see the lab, the team, the mountains outside the building. Second, explaining: an energy demonstrator or a green chemistry process is better understood in 45 seconds filmed at the test bench than in ten slides. For a start-up launching a product, the same day feeds LinkedIn, the website and a Meta launch ad.

The Grand-Pont market and the Sion cellars

Every Friday of the year, from 8am to 2pm, producers and craftspeople set up in rue du Grand-Pont, rue de Lausanne, rue du Rhône and the Espace des Remparts, says Sion Tourisme. On Good Friday, the Grand Marché de Pâques lasts all day and usually welcomes 12,000 people. For a cheesemaker, a fruit grower or a bakery, it is the dream setting for UGC videos: a creator tasting, commenting, leaving with their bag. With 420 hectares of vines, Sion is the second-largest wine-growing commune in Valais, and its winemakers gather at the Domaine des Îles during the Vins du Valais open cellar days (Caves ouvertes). A cellar Reel works when it shows a gesture (pressing, bottling) rather than a wide shot of the hillside. For a wine bar in the old town, we film the end of the market, when customers sit down near the Grand-Pont for a glass of Valais wine before the weekend.

Valère, Tourbillon and the summer of festivals

The City describes itself as dominated by its two castles, Valère and Tourbillon: it is the opening shot that Valais audiences identify in a second. We do not do drone work, so these views are shot from the ground, from the lanes of the medieval old town or from the hills themselves, which gives more human framing than an aerial view. The calendar is built around the summer. The City cites the classical music festival and the Tibor Varga international violin competition, the Valère organ festival, the Irish Festival and Sion sous les étoiles, whose 12th edition is announced for 14 to 17 July 2027 on the Plaine de Tourbillon. A brand that partners with a festival does well to shoot its teaser TikToks in spring and capture the behind-the-scenes during the event. Autumn, at grape harvest time on the hillsides, remains the best window for wine estates.

A day's shoot in Sion, from the market to the workshop

Here is how it works when you hire a UGC agency for Sion and it comes from Paris. The team arrives by train via Lausanne, equipment in luggage. Before travelling, a scoping call fixes the formats (TikTok and Meta creative ads, UGC, organic Reels), the locations and the people to film, and we check with you the steps to take with the City if filming takes place on public land. A typical day, on a Friday: early arrival at the market while the stalls are being set up, UGC shoot with a creator until noon, terrace shots at lunch, then the afternoon at your premises (cellar, workshop, lab or shop) for interviews and product demonstrations. On Good Friday, the Grand Marché de Pâques spills into other streets all day: we then schedule the UGC shots from the opening, before the crowd. Editing then takes place in Paris, with online approvals.

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, and it is often the best time of the week: the market takes place every Friday from 8am to 2pm in the streets of Grand-Pont, Lausanne and Rhône. We shoot early, before the crowds, then late morning for atmosphere. The stallholder being filmed must agree, and recognisable passers-by sign a release or stay out of frame.

For an estate among Sion's 420 hectares of vines, we recommend short Reels on the work of the vineyard and the cellar through the seasons, and a highlight around the Caves ouvertes at the Domaine des Îles. Platform rules on alcohol are strict, especially on TikTok: the paid side goes through Meta instead, with targeting restricted to adults.

Rarely in the classic form of a creator testing a product. For a young energy or green chemistry company, UGC takes the form of an engineer from the team presenting their prototype to camera, without a memorised script. This format serves recruitment, conversations with investors and first LinkedIn or Meta campaigns alike.

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.
