What converts in Facebook ads for insurance
People buy insurance on trust, in a moment of worry, which makes it a natural fit for video and a bad fit for generic video. Before the premium, the viewer wants to know “is this for someone like me?” The ads that convert answer that in the first second by putting someone like them on screen.
My insurance work centers on specific audiences (linemen, welders, families, seniors), because when I cast a talking head as a peer of the buyer, the viewer gives the script the seconds it needs. Street interviews work when there's a felt gap (“what are you paying, and what does it cover?”), and the viewer runs their own numbers while strangers answer.
Facebook's targeting can't do much of that work. Since January 2025, advertisers in the US, or reaching people there, have to run insurance ads under the Financial products and services special ad category. Age is fixed at 18-65+, gender can't be selected, ZIP codes and lookalike audiences aren't available, and a location radius has to be at least 15 miles. A final expense offer for seniors and a life policy for welders start from the same broad audience.
So the creative does the targeting. I cast the avatar as the buyer's profession or age, a welder for welders, a lineman for linemen, a senior for seniors, and the viewer recognizes themselves in the first second. The hook names the audience before it names the product, so the people the ad isn't for move on early and the people it is for stay. By the time the script reaches coverage and the monthly cost, the viewer has already answered “is this for someone like me?” and is listening for the details.
Compliance shapes every script: I skip promises, source every number and keep the language plain, so it sounds right from a person the buyer would take advice from. I make insurance ads as talking heads and street interviews, and I storyboard, cast, voice and edit each one in-house from your brief, with the first cut in 24-72 hours.

Insurance questions
Can AI video ads work for insurance?
Yes. Insurance buyers respond to trust, and trust comes from a believable face and a clear explanation. Talking heads and street interviews carry both. The insurance work in this portfolio covers life insurance and final expense for blue-collar and senior audiences.
How do you handle compliance in insurance ads?
You send the claims and disclaimers your team approves. I write the script inside those limits, and your compliance team signs off before production starts.
Which formats fit insurance best?
Talking heads explain a policy, street interviews add social proof, and podcast-style ads handle longer objections. Every style runs in-house, so one brief can cover several.
What hooks work in Facebook ads for life insurance?
Hooks that let the buyer recognize themselves in the first second. I cast the avatar as the buyer's profession or age (welders, linemen, seniors), and the first line names that audience before the product appears. The Financial products and services category fixes the age range and removes gender, ZIP and lookalike targeting, so the hook does the targeting.
Do life insurance ads on Facebook run under a special ad category?
Yes. Since January 2025, advertisers in the US, or reaching people there, select Financial products and services for insurance ads. Age is fixed at 18-65+, gender can't be selected, ZIP and lookalike audiences aren't available, and the location radius starts at 15 miles. I write and cast every ad for those limits.

Founder & Lead AI Creator
Every frame, by hand
Digit Alchemy is a founder-led studio. I script, frame and finish every hook, every cut, every avatar's pause and glance myself. No handoffs to a production line, no template doing the thinking.
You bring the brief. I storyboard it, write the hooks and script, and make the creative calls on top: which style, which face, which pace. Every style runs in-house, from AI UGC and street interviews to motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation and claymation.
There's a faster way to make AI video: chain node-based automations together, drop a templated avatar on top, ship a hundred variants. It's also the fastest way to lose the viewer. Audiences recognize that content in half a second: the same faces, the same cadence, the same synthetic gloss. I craft frame by frame. Automation handles rendering, versioning and delivery, and never touches how the ad looks, sounds or sells.
Viewers watch what feels native to the feed and skip what feels generated. The gap comes down to a hundred small decisions per video that automated pipelines skip. Casting the right face for the audience, pacing the hook to the platform, matching the grain and light of real phone footage. It costs more time. It converts.
How it works
Brief in, ad out.
One process for every style, from AI UGC to 3D animation.
01
Send a Brief
A script, a concept, a product link or a competitor ad you like. A rough idea is enough to start.
02
Storyboard and Script
I write the hooks and the script, storyboard every scene, and pick the style that fits: UGC, animation, claymation or cinematic.
03
Production
I handle casting, voice, motion and edit in-house and check every frame against the platform the ad runs on.
04
Delivery and Revisions
First cut in 24-72 hours, in native 9:16. Revisions and new variations follow on the same clock.
Pricing
How Pricing Works
There's no fixed price list here. I scope every project around what you need: the style, the length, how many hooks or variations you want, and how much animation goes into it.
Ten concepts for the price of one shoot day.
A shoot day buys one idea on one set. The same budget here buys ten finished ads, scripted and storyboarded, in whichever styles fit.
Meta ads start from $140, organic social videos from $110. I scope batches and full campaigns per project.
Send a brief, a script or a competitor ad you like, or book a quick call, and you'll have a clear scope and price before anything starts.
Questions before you brief
How fast is the first cut?
Within 24-72 hours once we agree the brief. Variations and revisions follow on the same clock, so a five-variant batch lands inside a working week.
Do hooks and scripts come with the video, or do I supply them?
They come with it. I write the hooks and script for every ad and storyboard it before production starts. Send your own script and I'll produce it as written.
Which styles can you make?
AI UGC, talking heads, street interviews, podcast-style, product demos, motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation, claymation, Pixar-style and cinematic. I make all of it in-house, so one brief can run across several styles.
What's the revisions policy?
Revisions come included until the cut matches the agreed brief: hook, format, platform, length. A new script or format after approval counts as a new deliverable, and I scope it as one.
What do you need from me to start?
The offer and who it's for; any references (a competitor ad you like, a script, a concept); brand assets such as logo, colors, product shots or app access; and the link the ad should send people to. A rough idea is enough to begin.
Who owns the avatars and voices?
You own the finished ads for any channel, with no usage window. I create avatars and voices per project and never reuse them for other clients.
Do you run the ads, or just make them?
Digit Alchemy produces the creative; you or your media buyer run it. You get everything in native 9:16, ready to upload to Meta or TikTok, with hook variants named for testing.
What's the minimum project?
Meta ads start from $140 and organic social videos from $110. Most projects are batches: several hooks on one format, or one message across two or three formats. I scope and quote them before anything starts.
What happens if an ad doesn't perform?
Performance depends on the offer, the targeting and the spend, and no creative wins every test. Brands find winners by testing several creatives. Revisions cover matching the approved brief. I quote new concepts after approval as new work.
Will Meta flag or reject AI-made ads?
Across $100K+ in ad spend, Meta has not rejected any of my ads for being AI-made. Meta can add an "AI info" label to some content, and ads about social issues, elections or politics carry extra disclosure rules.
What are the payment terms?
Every project runs 50/50: half upfront, half on delivery. Upwork projects run through Upwork's payment protection.
