Non-skippable · :15 and :30

Your ad, on the television in the right living room.

We write it, produce it, and run it on premium streaming networks — aimed at the households you actually want, and reported back as people who watched the whole thing and then came to your site. One team for the commercial and the airtime, because handing those to two companies is how brands end up with a beautiful film nobody sees.

United States. No long contract. You approve the commercial before a cent of media is spent.

Where the spot runs

Premium, fully episodic, non-skippable inventory — the shows people actually sit down for, on 150+ networks. Not pre-roll. Not a banner. The ad break.

Network names are shown as a description of the inventory pool, not as an endorsement. Which networks a given flight actually lands on depends on the audience, the budget and what is available that week — and you get the list, per network, in the report.

How it works

Five steps, and you only wait on one of them.

This is the order it happens in. Nothing below can start before the thing above it, which is why it is numbered — the only step with a queue is the one where you watch the cut and say yes.

01

We work out who is worth reaching

Your site, your customer list, your best-selling products and the places you already win. That becomes an audience: households with the intent, plus everyone who has been on your site recently, plus wherever you want it geographically — a state, a metro, a set of ZIP codes. You do not need a data team. You need to tell us who buys from you.

02

We write and produce the commercial

Script, voiceover, motion, grade, and a version built to the exact technical standard television accepts — which is narrower than most people expect. You get a :30 and a :15 cut from the same idea, because the short one is what keeps running once the budget tightens.

03

You approve it

You watch it, you mark it up, we recut. Nothing goes to air and no media is bought until you have signed off the cut. This is the only step that waits on you.

04

It goes on air

We launch the flight, set the pacing and manage it daily — budget, frequency, which networks are working and which are quietly wasting money. You are not asked to log into anything or learn a bidding console.

05

You get the report that matters

Not "impressions delivered." Completed views, the people who watched the whole spot and then arrived at your site, what they did when they got there, and the cost of each one — per network, per week.

The commercial

Most brands never get on TV because of the film, not the money.

A production house quotes weeks and five figures for a thirty-second spot, the project stalls, and the media budget goes back to search. We make the commercial in-house, on the same system we run the campaign from, which is why the two halves of this never disagree with each other.

Made for you, not templated

Your brand, your offer, your footage if you have it — and generated production if you do not.

  • Script and storyboard from your offer, not a fill-in-the-blank
  • Voiceover, music bed and sound design
  • Your own footage cut in where you have it
  • Two lengths — a :30 and a :15 that hold up alone

Built to pass, first time

Television rejects files for reasons no social platform cares about. Ours are built to the spec before anyone sees them.

  • Exactly :15 or :30 — not 14.8, not 31
  • 1080p or better, 16:9, constant frame rate
  • Real audio track — a silent file is an instant rejection
  • Logo, offer and URL held long enough to read from a sofa

Refreshed before it goes stale

A commercial that ran all year stops working long before anyone notices in the numbers.

  • New cuts on a schedule, not when performance has already dropped
  • Seasonal and offer versions from the same master
  • Matching social cutdowns so the campaign is one campaign
  • Everything kept — the files are yours, in your vault

What we can prove

Television used to be the channel you could not measure.

That is the part that changed, and it is the only reason this is worth doing for a business your size. Here is exactly what gets counted, in plain terms — and, just as importantly, what does not.

A view means the whole ad

The inventory is non-skippable, so a completed view is a person who sat through all fifteen or thirty seconds. That is the number we optimise against, not a two-second impression.

Watched, then visited

When someone in a household that saw your spot arrives on your site inside the attribution window, that visit is matched back to the ad. You see how many, from which network, and what each one cost.

Held against doing nothing

A slice of the matched audience is deliberately held back and not shown the ad, so the campaign is measured against people just like your buyers who never saw it. That is the difference between credit and lift.

What we will not claim

Nobody can prove a television ad caused a specific sale the way a click can. We report what was watched, what it cost and what happened afterwards — and we tell you which of those is correlation.

What this does not replace

This is not a swap for your search budget. It is the channel that makes the rest of it cheaper, because people who have seen you on television behave differently when they meet your name again.

The unglamorous part

What television actually accepts.

Published here because it is the thing that trips up every brand that tries this with a file they already had. If you want to send us your own commercial, this is the bar it has to clear — and if it does not, we will fix it rather than send you away.

Delivery specification

The same standard every spot we produce is built to.
RequirementWhat it has to beWhy
Durationexactly 15s or 30sAd breaks are sold in fixed slots. A 31-second file is not a long ad, it is a rejected one.
Aspect ratio16:9It is a television. Vertical and square do not air.
Resolution1920×1080 or higherAnything softer is obvious on a 65-inch screen two metres away.
File.mp4 or .movBroadcast-safe containers only.
Frame rateconstant — 23.98, 25 or 29.97Variable frame rate is the single most common rejection. Screen recordings and phone exports are usually variable.
Bitrate15–30 MbpsToo low and the grade falls apart in motion; too high and it will not ingest.
AudioAAC, presentA silent file fails automatically, every time.
Safe areaLogo, offer and URL away from the edgesOverscan still exists on real sets, and a URL clipped in half converts nobody.
Some categories cannot run at all — among them tobacco and vaping, weapons, adult content, counterfeit goods, and political advertising. If you are in a restricted category, tell us on the form and we will say yes or no straight away rather than after you have paid for a film.

Questions we get asked

The things people ask before the first call.

Answered plainly, including the two answers that lose us work — because finding out on call one is cheaper for everybody than finding out in month two.

How much does it cost?

Three separate costs: producing the commercial, managing the campaign, and the airtime. We quote all three separately rather than as one blended number, and we build the figures for your brand — airtime is priced on the audience you want and the week you want it, so a rate card on this page would be a guess about you.

Do I need a commercial already?

No, and most brands do not. We write and produce it — script, voiceover, motion and grade — and you approve the cut before a cent of media is bought. If you already have one, we check it against the broadcast spec and fix it rather than send you away.

How is it measured?

Completed views — the ad cannot be skipped, so we know who watched all of it — and matched visits, the households that saw it and then arrived on your site. A slice of the same audience is held back and never shown the ad, so you can see the difference. Nobody can prove a specific airing caused a specific sale, and we will not claim it.

Where does it actually run?

In the ad break of premium, fully episodic streaming programming across 150+ networks. Not pre-roll, not display. Which networks a flight lands on depends on the audience and the week — you get the actual per-network list in the report.

Can I run in just one city?

Yes — nationwide, a state, a metro, or a set of ZIP codes. That is why this works for home services, multi-location retail and clinics, not only national brands. Delivery is United States only: fifty states, no territories.

Who is it wrong for?

Advertisers outside the US, anyone who needs to buy a specific time of day, and restricted categories — tobacco and vaping, weapons, adult, counterfeit goods, non-compliant gambling, and political or issue advertising.

Get a plan

Tell us what you sell. We will tell you what TV would cost.

Every plan is built for the brand it is for — the audience, the geography, the length of the first flight and what the commercial needs to be. There is no rate card on this page because a real one would be a guess about you.

  • A written plan, not a call script — networks, audience and the shape of a first flight
  • What the commercial would cost, and what the media would cost, separately
  • An honest answer if television is the wrong channel for you right now
  • No obligation, and nothing is bought until you approve the cut

We use this to build your plan and to get back to you. Nothing else.
