What work is included?
What is left out?
A clear, visual explanation for older-home owners comparing insulation quotes. Three project-selected hooks. One proposed ad body. No brand approval or campaign results.
Completed creative brief · campaign unlaunchedShowing what to compare inside insulation quotes may help an older-home owner move from uncertainty to a clearer decision—and make Advanced’s free quote a relevant next step.
A retained quote-stage account described similar totals covering different floors; another competitor customer reported comparing five quotes. R19R66
A side-by-side check may make the choice easier to understand. These accounts establish neither a common buying pattern nor likely conversion performance.
Choose appropriate work with a clear reason for doing it.
The human goal is confidence in the decision, not a promised saving or a guaranteed installation outcome.
An owner planning insulation for an older home who is unsure which work to choose, including when quotes cover different areas or preparation.
This execution addresses the part of that audience already comparing quotes. Winnipeg supplies the local service context.
Request Advanced Insulation’s published free, no-obligation quote for the homeowner’s insulation project. S01S03
The quote is the entry point to discussing the home and proposed work. It is not a booked installation, a guaranteed diagnostic inspection or a separate free review of competitors’ quotes.

Solution-Aware
The viewer knows insulation is an option and is comparing work. Explain the comparison in everyday words without assuming familiarity with Advanced.
Concept — Creative Ideas · The central idea connecting the homeowner, their goal and the offer.
C01 · Right Work FirstHelp an older-home owner who is unsure what to fix use a free, no-obligation insulation quote to understand the proposed scope before committing.
Angle — Messaging Strategy · The specific argument used to make that idea persuasive.
A02 · Compare the Same WorkShow why comparing the work covered by each quote helps the owner choose more wisely than comparing the totals alone.
These are starting checks, not a complete technical assessment. The script does not claim a lower quote is inferior or predict extra costs.
Proposed: a calm, conversational narrator guiding the viewer through the comparison.
The explanation earns credibility by showing the same checks on both examples. No customer story, trade credential or personal result is claimed. Use short pauses after each check and a reassuring, matter-of-fact delivery.
Production dependency: narrator and recording are not supplied. The voice is a proposed role, not a confirmed Advanced employee or customer.
Proposed: a realistic, vertical tabletop video showing two labelled sample quote outlines, with a calm voice-over.
Film two printed example sheets on an ordinary home table. Show hands placing and pointing to the sheets, with overhead and close-up shots. No face, uniform, customer role or trade credential is implied. The constructed example explains a comparison; it is not a real contractor document or a recommendation for a particular home.
Fictional area fields for explaining a comparison. Neither example is an Advanced or competitor quote, a price comparison or a recommendation for the viewer’s home. Preparation and exclusions remain questions—not invented inclusions.
Keep “Illustrative example · not real quotes” visible whenever either card appears. Use no prices, company logos, customer details, fabricated measurements or winner/loser marks. No authentic quote sample has been supplied.
A proposed 9:16 composition supports mobile viewing. Final placement and crop remain to be confirmed. Let the spoken explanation and reading time determine length; no fixed runtime is prescribed.
An original tabletop execution built around the comparison task.
Realistic settings, ordinary actions and readable documents keep attention on the homeowner’s decision. No outside ad supplies the script or quote-comparison treatment.
Useful general production observations: shift from an establishing view to readable detail; reveal the relevant object beside its spoken explanation; finish with a simple brand/CTA frame. The proposed tabletop execution is original. No source footage, savings claim, character, humour or strategy is carried over.

Hooks — Ad Opening Lines · Three alternative openings into one shared body.
Choose one opening. Keep the body and CTA identical.
The three hooks retain their project-selected wording and order. The body and scene plan are proposed. Visual changes should support the line being spoken.
| Beat | Spoken line | VISUAL DIRECTIONS | On-screen text | Asset / evidence note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H01 | Two insulation quotes. Do they cover the same work? | Overhead on a real home table: two printed example sheets are already visible. On “same work,” a hand points to the Areas covered row on each. Keep the illustrative label visible. | Same work? | Project-selected hook wording. Proposed printed illustrative props; no real customer documents or proof. |
| Beat | Spoken line | VISUAL DIRECTIONS | On-screen text | Asset / evidence note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H03 | Not sure how to compare your insulation quotes? | Start on the same two sheets on the table. A hand points first to Example A, then Example B. End with both sheets aligned for B01. Keep the illustrative label visible. | Where do you start? | Project-selected hook wording. Proposed printed illustrative props; no real customer documents or proof. |
| Beat | Spoken line | VISUAL DIRECTIONS | On-screen text | Asset / evidence note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| H08 | Before choosing the lower insulation quote, check what it includes. | Start on the same two sheets, without prices or ranking. On “what it includes,” point to Areas covered on both. Keep the illustrative label visible. | Check what’s included | Project-selected hook wording. Proposed printed illustrative props; no real customer documents or proof. |
The shared body explains the illustrative difference explicitly and develops the Hook Pack’s comparison argument.
| Beat | Spoken line | VISUAL DIRECTIONS | On-screen text | Asset / evidence note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B01 | Put the quotes side by side. | Use the same overhead framing in every version. The hand aligns the two sheets at equal size. Show the local audience cue, then clear it before the row close-up. | Older-home insulation · Winnipeg | Editorial comparison method; not a claim about Advanced’s quote layout. |
| B02b | This example covers the attic. | Cut directly from the paired sheets to Example A. On “attic,” point to Attic. Keep Example A and the illustrative label readable. | Example A · Attic | Illustrative comparison only. Keep “Illustrative example · not real quotes” visible. No prices, outcome proof or recommended scope. |
| B02c | This one covers the attic and basement. That’s different work. | Cut to Example B on “This one.” Point to + basement when “basement” is spoken. On “different work,” return to both area rows. Neither sheet is marked better. | Example B · Attic + basement | Illustrative comparison only. Keep “Illustrative example · not real quotes” visible. No prices, outcome proof or recommended scope. |
| B02d | Next, ask what work is included before the insulation goes in. | Move to the Work before installation row on both sheets. On “what work,” point to the question What work is included? Hold it through the rest of the sentence. | Work before installation · What work is included? | Illustrative comparison only. Keep “Illustrative example · not real quotes” visible. No prices, outcome proof or recommended scope. |
| B02e | And check what’s left out. | Move the hand to the Not included row. Use a readable close-up of What is left out? | Not included · What is left out? | Illustrative comparison only. Keep “Illustrative example · not real quotes” visible. No prices, outcome proof or recommended scope. |
| B03 | If something is unclear, ask the contractor to explain it. Then compare the totals. | Hold the question rows while a hand points to each unresolved question. On “Then,” cut back to the full pair. Do not invent totals or stage a phone conversation. | Ask about unclear details | Advice to the homeowner. Does not promise Advanced will review another contractor’s quote. |
| B04 | Know what each price covers before you choose the work for your home. | Show the two area rows together. On “choose the work,” widen to the two complete sheets. Keep them equal; no winner mark or staged satisfied-customer reaction. | Know what each price covers | A decision aid, not a full technical assessment or a guarantee of the right installation. |
| B05 | For your insulation project in Winnipeg, Advanced Insulation offers a free, no-obligation quote. | Cut from the papers to a clean text-only end card. Reveal Advanced Insulation when named, Free quote on “free,” and No obligation on that phrase. Hold the completed card into the CTA. | Advanced Insulation · Free quote · No obligation | Published offer: S01; Winnipeg service: S01/S03. Rechecked for this brief on 11 October 2026 (Winnipeg). |

Two insulation quotes. Do they cover the same work?Exact shared body
Put the quotes side by side. This example covers the attic. This one covers the attic and basement. That’s different work. Next, ask what work is included before the insulation goes in. And check what’s left out. If something is unclear, ask the contractor to explain it. Then compare the totals. Know what each price covers before you choose the work for your home. For your insulation project in Winnipeg, Advanced Insulation offers a free, no-obligation quote.
Same CTARequest your free quote.
The selector changes only the opening. This is a script preview, not recorded audio or a finished ad.
One project-selected hook → B01 → B02b–B02e → B03 → B04 → B05 → CTA.
Use H01, H03 or H08 with the same illustrative cards. Start directly; no logo animation or slow introduction.
B01–B02e: pair the printed sheets, then show areas, work before installation and items left out.
B03–B04: hold the unclear-detail prompts, then return to the whole comparison without declaring a winner.
B05–CTA: one clear brand end card with the free, no-obligation quote invitation.
Editor handoff: prepare original prop artwork from the example above. Use plain, large type, Example A/B, Areas covered, the listed areas and the two question prompts. Do not add prices, letterheads or technical findings. Frame the two sheets closely enough to read; use single-sheet inserts when necessary. Keep captions below the comparison and the illustrative label above it, inside the chosen placement’s safe area. Use quiet room sound beneath the voice; music is optional and requires a cleared track.
Timing plan: the beat-specific point, insert and framing cues provide purposeful progression. Aim for a new detail about every 2–3 seconds; pause longer where labels need reading. Set exact cut points after the recorded read-through. No fixed duration, final crop or audio delivery has been tested.
Three project-selected hooks lead into one shared comparison, one offer and one next step.
The script explains the attic-versus-attic-and-basement example, then checks preparation and exclusions. Both sheets stay equally weighted and visibly illustrative.
Each spoken line has a matching tabletop action, close-up or end-card cue. All three versions use the same body and CTA. This is an editorial assessment; audience response has not been tested.
This portfolio deliverable includes the complete written script, illustrative prop layout and realistic tabletop shot plan. Three graphic timing mockups with temporary synthetic narration were also prepared. They are not filmed tabletop advertisements.
Independent portfolio work. No company approval, finished filmed ad, live campaign or performance result is claimed.
