Creative and funnel assets

What actually gets built: the ads, the page, the qualification flow, the follow up and the education a borrower moves through before speaking to an officer.

ApprovalEvery asset on this page is submitted to you, and where required to your lender, for written approval before it runs. That includes the AI message templates.
Angles

What we test in a mortgage book

AngleWho it pullsWhy it works
The payment nobody re checksHomeowners with a mortgage over two years oldMoves the question from rates to one bill they never shopped
Equity doing nothingOwners carrying card or consumer debtTwo numbers side by side, no figure promised
Know your number before you tourBuyers at the startA live event with a deadline attached
One no is not the answerSelf employed, bonus income, a blemish on fileA bank is one rulebook, a broker runs dozens
The second opinionAlready mid process with someone elseLow commitment ask, strong conversation
Life eventNew job, divorce, inheritance, relocationTiming beats pricing when the event is real

No angle carries a rate, payment, APR or saving figure. See §4.

Formats

Rotated before fatigue

01

Officer to camera

Highest trust, longest lived, built first. Your officer, your brand, our script.

02

Education explainer

Concept led. How the process works, no product, no figures.

03

Objection handling

Credit, self employment, closing costs, timing. Filters out the unserious early.

04

Social proof

A situation and a decision, never a performance claim, never a saving.

05

Static and carousel

Cheap reach and fast hook testing. One body copy per set, the image is what varies.

06

Text led

New angle discovery before any production budget is spent.

We judge an ad at roughly $300 to $400 of spend, not at day two. At $50 a day that is about four ads in rotation and one new angle a week.

Funnel

The path from ad to officer

01

The page

Mobile first, the headline repeats the promise from the ad so nothing feels like a switch. One action, no menu. Video where you have recorded one, text where you have not.

02

The quiz

One question per screen, large taps, a back arrow that restores answers, and a progress bar. Built to disqualify. Out of profile answers end on a resource page, not a calendar.

03

Contact and consent

First name, last name, phone, email and the consent line your compliance officer approved, with IP and timestamp stored against the record.

04

Confirmation

Not a receipt. It names the officer who will call, gives the caller ID to save in their phone, says what the call covers and what to have ready.

Qualification

The flow, question by question

Exact wording and order are set with you on the onboarding call. This is the standard refinance and equity set. Purchase runs a different set.

QuestionWhat it does
Q1Do you own or rent?Renters end on a resource. Nobody downstream wastes a minute on them.
Q2What are you looking to do?Lower the payment, pull equity out, buy, or a second opinion. Sets the whole conversation.
Q3Property typeMobile, manufactured and park model homes end here, because your lender set will not take them.
Q4Rough loan amountBands, not a figure. Sets whether the file is worth an officer hour.
Q5Credit bandSelf reported bands only. No score pull, no decision, no approval language.
Q6TimelineNow, inside three months, or later. Later goes to long cycle nurture, not to an officer.
Q7StateFiltered against your licensed footprint.
Q8Contact and consentExpress written consent, IP and timestamp captured.

Pre call education

What the borrower gets before the call

What to have ready

A plain list so the first call is a conversation, not a document hunt.

How the process runs

Application to close in plain English, no figures, no promises.

Credit, plainly

What matters, what does not, and what a soft pull is. No scores, no advice.

Who you are meeting

The officer, with a photo, before the call.

Short video series

Optional. Two or three short videos between enquiry and the call, scripted by us, recorded by your officer.

Production

How assets get made

1

Brief

Angle, audience, promise and disclosure requirements, written first.

2

Script

Ad and video scripts written by us, reviewed by you. Mostly 45 to 90 seconds.

3

Production

You record to our shot list, or we build statics around your brand and your officer.

4

Approval

Full asset plus the disclosure block, submitted for written sign off.

5

Test

One body copy per set, several images, small budgets, judged at $300 to $400 of spend.

6

Refresh

Rolling replacement as frequency climbs and cost per enquiry drifts. One new angle a week.
