THE APPROACH
We began by diving deep into Michael’s persona, exploring his storytelling style, humor, and stage presence. This research informed every step of the creative process. I crafted initial mood board concepts to outline the vision and strategic direction for the rebranding initiative. These concepts served as the blueprint for the subsequent design phases.
Visual identity was a cornerstone of the approach. I developed movie key art designs and title designs that evoked a cinematic feel, reflecting Michael’s flair for performance. These visual elements were complemented by carefully curated copywriting that highlighted his unique brand voice, infusing wit and personality into every message.
In launching the campaign, we orchestrated a multi-faceted rollout that included the creation of multi-concept teaser ads, poster designs, and a series of paid ad designs specifically tailored for Fathom’s platform. Each piece was meticulously crafted to build intrigue and drive engagement. Social asset design was another key component; together, we ensured that every graphic and digital asset aligned seamlessly with the overall campaign narrative.
Understanding the importance of a strong online presence, we also developed website design concepts that captured Michael’s brand essence while providing a user-friendly experience. This digital hub became a focal point for fans to learn more about his work, view upcoming projects, and engage with his content.
