Q: What were the main differences between The Girl in the Middle and the Duality version, and how did testing affect which version aired publicly?
Duality, the original without voiceover, created a more organic, documentary feel that tested better with younger audiences, while The Girl in the Middle with voiceover was chosen for the Super Bowl due to its relatable narrative and its clear message that Adoption is an option at the end.

Q: Tell us about how the Super Bowl ad came to be and what constraints you faced.
