Creative agency Paris and Porto: one team for France and Portugal
The Nice Guys Agency is a B2B creative agency with a team in Paris and a base in Santa Maria da Feira, in Greater Porto. We produce video, photography, drone footage and websites for companies that operate in France and Portugal, and we work in Portuguese, English and French.
Many of our clients live in two countries at once: a French group with a plant near Porto, a Portuguese manufacturer selling to French buyers, a brand launching the same campaign in Lyon and Lisbon. A creative agency in Paris and Porto removes the usual friction: one brief, one contact, one visual language, and a crew that can shoot on either side without subcontracting.
We founded the agency in 2023 around that idea. Our team in Paris handles French clients, creative direction and the French-speaking market; our base in Greater Porto handles production in Portugal, from Porto and Aveiro to Braga and Lisbon. The two work as one unit, with the same editors, the same colour grading and the same delivery standards.
The result is video production Paris and Portugal companies can plan with: a corporate film shot in both countries in the same week, product photography that matches across catalogues, or a bilingual website built once and localised properly, not machine-translated.
How a cross-border project works
- 1
Brief in your language
You brief us in French, Portuguese or English. The same person follows the project from the first call to the final file, whichever country we are shooting in.
- 2
One creative direction
Scripts, storyboards and moodboards are written once and adapted for each market, so the French and Portuguese versions feel like the same brand, not two agencies' work.
- 3
Shoot where the story is
Our Paris team covers Île-de-France and travels across France; our Greater Porto base covers northern and central Portugal and drives to Lisbon in three hours. No flights at every step, no fixers.
- 4
One post-production pipeline
Rushes from both countries land in the same editing and grading workflow. Subtitles, voice-over and graphics are produced natively in each language.
- 5
Delivery for every channel
You receive masters and cut-downs formatted for TV, web, LinkedIn, Instagram and internal platforms, with usage rights that cover both countries.

Why clients choose one agency for two countries
Working with two separate agencies in Paris and Porto means two briefs, two creative directions and two invoices, and the Portuguese version usually ends up as an afterthought. With The Nice Guys Agency, the French and Portuguese deliverables come from the same crew and the same timeline. Our clients include Capgemini, Menin and Amazon, as well as manufacturers, hotel groups and tech companies that needed content to work in both markets without losing a week to coordination.
Questions about working with us in Paris and Porto
Do you really have a team in both Paris and Porto?
Yes. Our team in Paris works with French clients and handles creative direction for the French-speaking market; our base in Santa Maria da Feira, in Greater Porto, handles production across Portugal. Both are part of the same agency, founded in 2023, with shared editors and the same delivery standards.
Can you shoot in France and Portugal within the same project?
That is what we are set up for. A typical corporate film is shot in both countries within one or two weeks, with the same director, and edited into one piece with French and Portuguese versions. Travel, permits and local logistics are included in the quote.
Which languages do you work in?
Portuguese, English and French, natively. Scripts, interviews, subtitles, voice-over and graphics are produced in each language by people who speak it, not run through a translation tool.
How much does a Paris and Porto production cost?
Every project is quoted on request. The price depends on shoot days in each country, crew size, drone use and post-production. After a short briefing we send a detailed proposal within 24 hours, with no commitment.
Do you work with companies that are only in France or only in Portugal?
Yes. The cross-border setup is an advantage, not a requirement. Many of our clients are Portuguese companies in Porto, Aveiro or Santa Maria da Feira, and French companies in Paris, who simply want a senior creative team at a reasonable price.
