The Opportunity

NBCUniversal Upfronts

NBCUniversal’s first unified Upfront brought its broadcast and cable brands onto one stage. The opportunity was to develop a visual language flexible enough to represent each network’s distinct identity while creating a cohesive experience across the broader NBCUniversal portfolio.

The campaign brings distinct shows and personalities together through a consistent graphic treatment. A white frame, bold headlines, and prominent photography connect the artwork while giving each portrait its own character.
