Case Study — Villara Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, Solar
Villara's campaign runs across TV, streaming TV, paid social, and display — reaching homeowners at the neighborhood level. I support content production for the TV and video pieces, working alongside a third-party videography vendor from script through final cut, plus the platform-native creative for paid social and display. Scroll to see how it comes together.
Content Production
One major piece of the campaign is content production for the TV and video work. Scroll through each stage of how a Villara commercial actually comes together — from the first script draft to a third-party shoot day to the final cut.
01 — Script & Strategy
Before any camera rolls, the script comes together in collaboration with the Bouchard Communications Group team and Villara's own team — aligning on the message, the offer, and the tone for that quarter's spot, whether it's a service-focused commercial like the furnace tune-up campaign or a brand piece like the founder story film.
02 — Vendor & Shot List
From the approved script, I build a shot list for the day and coordinate directly with the third-party videography vendor — scheduling and making sure the vendor has everything they need to execute the day efficiently.
03 — On-Set Direction
On shoot day, I'm on-site working alongside the videography vendor, providing creative direction — organizing scenes, directing talent, and making sure every setup serves the script before we move to the next one.
04 — Edit & Motion Graphics
In editing, I provide creative direction on the cut itself — pacing, scene selection, and structure — plus on-screen graphics: lower thirds, animated call-outs, and what comes on screen next. The same raw footage from a single shoot day gets cut twice: once as the full broadcast spot, once re-paced and re-graphic'd for social.
The campaign runs across TV, streaming TV, paid social, and display — reaching homeowners at the neighborhood level with messaging and creative tailored to each channel and format. Broadcast TV and streaming TV ads carry the commercials produced below; Nextdoor, Meta, and YouTube carry platform-native paid social and display creative built around the same campaigns.
Two of the commercials that run on broadcast and streaming TV — a furnace tune-up campaign and an electrification awareness spot — each went through the script-to-edit pipeline above, working alongside the third-party videography vendor from shot list through final cut.
Footage from each TV shoot gets a second life as a social-native cutdown — re-paced, re-graphic'd, and resized for feed and Stories — rather than running the broadcast spot unchanged on social platforms where attention spans and aspect ratios are different.
Alongside the service campaigns, I helped produce a founder-story brand video tracing Villara back to its 1947 roots — built around archival-style photography of founder Del Beutler and the garage where the company began, paired with present-day footage of the business he built.
Script & concept — built the founder narrative in collaboration with the Villara team, anchored on the company's 1947 origin story
Vendor coordination & on-set direction — coordinated with the videography vendor and provided creative direction for the present-day footage and interview setups
Edit & motion graphics — directed the archival-style treatment, type animation, and pacing through post-production
Distributed — published as a brand piece alongside the multichannel commercial campaigns
