Climate Centre is Wolseley's specialist air conditioning and HVAC business. Its customers are the engineers who get the call when cooling fails in a heatwave.

In June 2026 it needed its Cool Summer campaign live on YouTube for July. The assets existed: character photography, an A2 poster, a takeover and social cards. None of it moved. The ask was 30, 15 and 10 second ads in landscape, portrait and square, built from what was already on file.

Climate Centre's team set the direction. Summer is when systems break, and their customers stay calm because Climate Centre has their back.

We built the film on that tension. The hero never flinches. The pressure builds in the copy around him, frame by frame:

30°. Pressure On. System Struggling. All Eyes On You. NO DRAMA. You've got Climate Centre.

Every frame came from supplied artwork, animated in motion design with a licensed track and sound effects. Three calls did the heavy lifting.

• Two lines, cut from three. Frame two carried three lines of copy in under three seconds. Most YouTube viewing happens on a phone, so we cut it to two and kept the urgency.

• Punchline first. We resequenced the messaging so the payoff lands before the brand line closes it.

• One end frame. Two closing frames became one, so even the 10-second cut finishes on the name.

Over a month the campaign served 1.28 million impressions to 1.13 million people and banked 497,000 completed views.

The short cuts carried it. The 15-second edit completed at 55.8% and the 10-second at 58.6%, against 38.9% across the campaign. Completion climbed every week, from 32.6% at launch to 52.6% in the final week.
