Running a campaign

Commissioning creator video in Belgium

Every campaign here carries a decision no other market forces: how many languages it exists in, and whether they are translations of each other or separate pieces. That single choice sets the budget, the shoot day and the approval chain, and getting it wrong is why so many Belgian campaigns cost twice what they should and land in neither market.

Belgium Runs on Two Calendars

Three languages do not cost three times as much

The shoot barely changes, the edit genuinely doubles, and the real cost is somewhere nobody budgets for: every language adds an approver.
