What a commercial costs

The channel decides the format, the format decides the effort. A television spot does not cost more because it is longer, but because broadcast compliance, actors and music licences come with it. All prices excluding VAT, media budget not included.

Format Scope Price excl. VAT
Social ad 15 to 30 seconds, one shooting day, vertical and square, subtitles, three versions from 3,500 €
Animated ad 20 to 45 seconds, 2D animation without a shoot, voice-over and sound design, all social formats from 5,000 €
Online spot 30 to 60 seconds, two shooting days, concept, voice-over, licensed music, five versions from 8,500 €
TV spot 20 to 30 seconds, broadcast ready, three or more shooting days, actors, location scouting, composed music from 20,000 €
The three biggest cost drivers are people on camera, shooting days and music. A spot without actors, shot in one day, with licensed library music sits at the lower end. Each of those three levers moves the price noticeably. The camera does not.

Advertising that does not get skipped

Advertising leaves nobody indifferent. Either it entertains or the sound goes off. There is not much in between, which is why the core idea decides more than any production detail.

We have no time for hollow posturing. A spot works when it gives the viewer something: a surprise, a laugh, a thought. Respect for the audience shows up later as attachment to the brand.

Tone of voice has to match the channel. What needs to land in three seconds on TikTok can take its time in cinema. So we fix the channel before writing the concept.

How a commercial is made

Four steps, from the channel to the delivered campaign.

01

Channel and goal

Where the spot runs, who it should reach, what should happen next. Length, format and budget follow from that, not the other way round.

02

Concept and storyboard

An idea that carries, and a storyboard showing every shot. Changes are still free at this point.

03

Shoot

One to three shooting days depending on the package. Broadcast quality adds actors, location scouting and heavier lighting.

04

Edit and versions

Colour grading, sound design, music. Then the cut-downs for each channel, the first three are included.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a commercial and a corporate video?

A commercial promotes a specific product and ends with a call to action, usually 15 to 60 seconds. A corporate video presents the company as a whole, runs two to five minutes and does not sell directly.

Do we get several versions for different audiences?

Yes, and we recommend it. One shoot yields regional variants, seasonal edits and versions for A/B testing. The first three to five are included depending on the package, each further version from 300 euros.

Do you handle media planning?

We advise on channels and formats and deliver every aspect ratio you need. For placement we refer you to specialist media agencies or show you how to run campaigns yourself.

What about music?

Licensed premium library music is included in the online packages. Known tracks or a bespoke composition are quoted separately and are a noticeable item for television.

How long does production take?

A social ad takes about two weeks, an online spot four to six weeks, a TV spot eight weeks or more depending on scope.

Do you shoot outside the Rhine-Main region?

Yes. We have bases in Wiesbaden, Berlin and Dortmund and shoot across Germany.
