The Challenge

Kiley Law Group wanted a short commercial that set the firm apart in a crowded personal injury market. In 30 seconds it had to cover the firm’s history, its client-first culture and its track record, and end on a clear call to action.

02

Our Solution

We built the script around a series of what-if questions, each answered with a scene. The firm’s building, its attorneys and local landmarks set the stage. An attorney welcomes a client, an insurance sign gets crossed out, and a client signs her settlement. The crowd of clients grows behind them before the logo and contact details close the spot.

What if?

The script asks four questions and answers them with one firm. Here is how it plays out, frame by frame.
