The challenge

Conservatory Insulations sold through leaflets and the back pages of newspapers and magazines. Old-school direct response.

The idea

Everyone with a conservatory knows the problem. Too hot in summer, too cold in winter. We built the first ad around that, fronted by Anna Ryder Richardson, a face their audience knew from Changing Rooms.

What we did

Directed and produced the first ad in 2018, then four more campaigns as the business grew into CI Group. Script, shoot, Clearcast and delivery to the stations, every time.

The result

Five weeks on Channel 4 South returned £5 for every £1 spent on airtime. The budget went up and the return more than doubled, to 11 times ad spend. The business beat its previous year's turnover in under six months. They're now the market leader, and credit the TV ads as instrumental.
