Leipzig is the German UGC market with the lowest competition. Logistics, ecommerce and a fast growing creative scene, with lower living costs than the west: good conditions to become visible quickly with a clear profile.

The advantage: almost no competition
At equal portfolio quality, a creator positioned on Leipzig gets proportionally more requests than in Berlin, simply because there are fewer profiles. The way to use that is to say it explicitly: city, language, formats, availability for on site shoots.
The second lever is the cost structure. Living here lets you price slightly below western levels and stay profitable. What matters is not turning that into a price war: the positioning is "same quality, different cost structure", not "cheapest".
The volume segment
Fulfilment and ecommerce clients order many similar videos rather than a few elaborate ones. A merchant with a hundred items needs dozens of product videos in the same format. Less creative, but very stable: you negotiate a package, shoot in batches and cut the preparation time per video substantially.
