Does TV advertising still work?
Absolutely, despite the rise of digital platforms, TV still commands a significant share of viewership, especially for live events and popular programs. And it targets your audience at just the right time, when they’re relaxed and sitting back ready to be persuaded by your creative messaging.
How much does a TV ad cost to produce?
We don’t do one-size-fits-all pricing. Every project is unique. Our TV ad productions typically range from £15,000 to £100,000, depending on complexity, talent, locations, and creative approach. Let’s have a chat so we can break down exactly what you’re getting for your investment.
How long does it take to create a TV commercial?
From kickoff to broadcast-ready ad, we typically take 8-12 weeks. But we’re flexible. Some projects move faster, some need more depth. We’ll map out a timeline that works for your brand and campaign goals.
Should we put our ad on a VOD channel?
Absolutely, VOD (Video on Demand) channels have revolutionised TV advertising by offering brands more targeted and measurable opportunities. With VOD, you can reach specific demographics based on viewing habits and preferences, giving you more precise ad targeting compared to traditional TV. Also, VOD platforms can provide valuable data insights, so you can optimise your campaigns in real-time for better ROI.
Overall, VOD channels offer brands a more flexible and data-driven approach to TV advertising.
Why do we need to get our TV ad cleared for broadcast?
All adverts on TV must go through the Clearcast process to prove that they meet legal requirements, are not misleading, and adhere to industry codes of practice regarding topics like alcohol, gambling, and health claims.
Our established relationship with Clearcast means that we can help you though this process, refining your ad for maximum impact while staying within regulatory boundaries.
Do you work alongside marketing agencies to deliver the creative?
We love to work with marketing agencies, working with you to turn your client’s marketing strategy into a campaign that works on TV.
What’s the best way to make a DRTV ad?
The secret to a good DRTV ad is clear messaging, compelling offers, and finishing with a strong call to action.

Do you have a studio?
We have established relationships with many different studios, all of which offer something different in terms of size, location and facilities.
We also recommend virtual production studios as it reduces the need for physical sets, props and locations. You can also visualise and adjust scenes in real-time, speeding up the post-production workflow.

How could we get our TV ad onto the radio?
We can repurpose the audio content from your TV ad to fit the radio format so that you can maximise your exposure across different media platforms.
