Street Interviews | Marketr

Real people. Real reactions. Real conversions.

Vox pop shoots in the streets of New York, Miami, Austin and beyond. The format that goes viral on Meta, Snapchat and TikTok, and converts cold traffic better than any polished ad ever will.

The most unfair advantage in paid social right now.

Street interviews are the only format that does three things at once: stops the scroll (people love watching real strangers), provides social proof at scale (a dozen real opinions in 30 seconds), and feels native to feed (because it actually is).

It's also the format almost no agency runs. Production is harder. Releases are paperwork. Weather doesn't care about your shoot schedule. We've built the infrastructure to do it at volume - so you get the upside without the operational pain.

From brief to finished cuts

01

Angle workshop

Before any shoot, we run an angle workshop with you. What's the offer? Who's the audience? What are the 5-8 questions that will produce real, ad-worthy reactions on camera?

02

Location & permits

We scout high-traffic spots based on your audience. SoHo, South Beach, South Congress, the Magnificent Mile - wherever your customer walks past. Permits and public-space rules handled.

03

Shoot day

Two-person crew minimum: interviewer + camera. We capture 16 unique interviews over a single day. Everyone agrees on camera to their clip being used as an ad - no paperwork to sign.

04

Curate & cut

Our editors take the 16 interviews and clip them into 50-60 ready-to-run ads - different hooks and openers to test what stops the scroll. Tagged and ready for your ad account.

05

Deliver & iterate

Final cuts delivered, tagged, and ready for your ad account. Once they're live, we close the loop with your media buyer to see which hooks won - and bake that into the next shoot.

One day. 50-60 ad-ready cuts.

A single street shoot day produces more ready-to-launch creative than most agencies ship in two months. That's the math we're built around.

Shoot one city. Run every market.

A street shoot doesn't have to stay in the language it was filmed in. Our AI dubbing matches each interviewee's voice, syncs the lips, and localizes captions and on-screen hooks - so one day of vox pop becomes ad-ready content for every market you sell in.

Voice-matched dubbing. Keeps each speaker's tone, not a robotic read.
Lip-synced. Re-timed to the new language so it never looks dubbed.
Localized captions & hooks. On-screen text rebuilt per market, not machine-translated.

Street interview questions

How do you handle commercial releases?
+
Every interviewee agrees on camera to their clip being used as a paid ad - clear verbal consent, captured in the footage itself. No forms to sign on the street, and we only ever use clips where that consent is unambiguous.
What languages can you shoot in?
+
Native interviewers in English and Spanish as standard. Other languages by request for international shoots.
What if no one wants to be filmed?
+
Volume math: across a day of approaching people, you don't need everyone to say yes - we still come away with around 16 usable interviews. Our interviewers are trained to make people comfortable in 10 seconds.
What if the answers don't fit the brief?
+
The angle workshop before the shoot is where this gets solved. We design questions that surface the responses you need without leading the witness. If a question isn't producing the right material on the day, we pivot in real time - live-direction is part of what you're paying for.
What about weather and city permits?
+
We monitor forecasts 7 days out and reschedule if needed. Public-space rules vary by city - we know the local restrictions for every standard market and handle permits where required, at no extra cost.
How does pricing for street shoots work?
+
Street interviews are priced as production - scoped to shoot days, cities, languages and editing volume, with no hidden markups. (Statics and video, by contrast, run on pure performance at 10% of the spend they drive.) Get in contact and we'll scope it to your plan.
