Brief

Tell the story of the city in a heatwave and weave a local coffee shop into it without it looking like an ad.

How we filmed

The coffee shop isn't the hero of the video — it's the payoff: the place you want to escape to from the heat. [From you: how long the shoot took, who's on screen, how you agreed with the coffee shop.]

The result

The video travelled far beyond my own audience: on Facebook, 99.3% of viewers weren't followers, and 98.5% watched from France. [What it did for the coffee shop — customers, mentions, the owner's words.]
