Social video ads in Southampton, timed to the city's own rhythms
A social ad succeeds when it reaches someone at the right moment with a message they can absorb in seconds. Southampton has moments of its own: a wait at Town Quay before a crossing, a Saturday kick-off at St Mary's, a September week when the waterfront fills with boats. Notlith builds short ads for those moments remotely, from your product and venue photographs, with direction, AI-assisted motion, editing and sound.

Minutes to fill at Town Quay
Passengers waiting for a Red Funnel sailing or the Hythe Ferry have a few minutes and a phone in hand. A location-targeted ad for a café, a shop or a service on the Isle of Wight side can work in that window, if it delivers one clear offer before the boarding call.
We design these as six to fifteen second portrait cuts with the product or offer visible in the first frame and captions for silent viewing. The ferry company's name and livery stay out of the ad unless you have an agreement. Your own photographs carry the message; we add movement and rhythm, not invented scenery.
The matchday radius
On home fixtures, the streets around St Mary's and the walking routes from the city centre fill with supporters. A pub, a takeaway or a car park operator may want ads that run only on those days. The creative needs to be ready before the fixture is confirmed and quick to switch on.
We prepare a set of variants with different openings and calls to action, so your media plan can rotate them without fatigue. No club crests, shirts or player likenesses appear without a licence. Kick-off times sit on editable text, and a non-matchday version keeps the same look for the rest of the week.
Boat Show week and the follow-up
Exhibitors at the Southampton International Boat Show often meet people who are not ready to buy that day. Social ads in the weeks after September can remind them, but only if they match what they saw: the same boat, the same jacket, the same offer.
We build retargeting cuts from your stand photographs and product images, adjusting messages for people who visited your stand page, downloaded a brochure or booked a viewing. The ads stay factual about availability and finance. Show-only offers carry their end date on screen so no one feels misled when it lapses.
Shoppers driving in from around Hampshire
Retailers near Westquay and on the retail parks reach customers from Eastleigh, Totton, Romsey and the New Forest edge as well as the city itself. A radius campaign can name the store and the reason to make the trip, such as a new collection, a click-and-collect service or extended hours.
We test hooks rather than backgrounds: the product in hand, the price tag area left for your own updates, or a short demonstration. Each version is checked against your stock so the ad never promotes a size or colour that is unavailable in store. Formats include vertical, square and short landscape, each checked on a phone screen before delivery.

Plan the details
How many variants should we test?
Usually three to five per audience, differing mainly in the opening seconds. We agree the exact set in the quote.
Can you run the ads for us?
We create the films and deliver them in the formats your platforms require. Targeting and spend stay with you or your media agency.
Will the ads work without sound?
Yes. Every cut is designed with captions and on-screen text so the message reads in silence, with sound as an added layer.
Do you label AI-generated content?
Where a generated shot could be taken for filmed reality, we recommend a disclosure and follow the platform's labelling rules.
