Why street interview ads work

They don’t look like ads

People stop for a stranger with a mic. The first second reads like content, not a pitch, so viewers give it a chance before they scroll.

Real reactions build trust

Someone on the street reacting to your product is social proof a polished spot can’t fake. Viewers believe a stranger before they believe a brand.

They’re made for paid social

Vertical, captioned and cut for TikTok, Reels and Meta, with an outro that brings your brand in at the right moment.

Two ways to run street interview ads

Not sure which? Read POV ads vs. street interviews, or see what street interview ads cost.

Organic street interviews

Our host stops real New Yorkers and asks your questions. No actors, and nothing they say is scripted. Each video is a mashup of three people: your questions, a follow-up on the problem your product solves, then an outro. The outro is either a soft plug, where our host brings up your brand face to face, or a hard plug, a walk-and-talk straight to camera. Sold in packages of 5, 10 or 15 videos. Book a call

POV street interview ads

When your product needs explaining, a paid actor delivers your script word for word, street interview style. Our filmer holds the camera and stays off screen, so the viewer feels like they’re the one asking. $490 for one script, $900 for two, $1,200 for three. Order online in two minutes

Street interview ads: common questions

How much do street interview ads cost?

POV ads with a paid actor are $490 for one script, $900 for two and $1,200 for three. Organic street interview series come in packages of 5, 10 or 15 videos. Book a call and we’ll quote one for your brand.

Are the people in your street interviews real?

In our organic videos, yes. Everyone is a real stranger we stopped on the street, and nothing they say is scripted. We only use paid actors for POV ads, where your script has to be delivered word for word, and we never mix actors and real strangers in the same shoot.

How fast do you deliver?

Our team is out shooting 5 days a week, and most projects are delivered in about 7 days.

Where do you film?

On the busiest streets in New York, on purpose. Crowded backgrounds make the video feel real. In the deep winter we move shooting to Southern California so your batches keep coming.

Can we run the videos as paid ads?

Yes. They’re made for paid social on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. POV orders include a 12-month license for paid and organic use. For organic series, usage is set in your proposal.

Do you write the questions?

We can write the questions, the follow-ups and the outro for you, or film the ones you send. Most brands let us write them, because we know which questions get people talking.
