The Solution
Within the campaign’s budget and scope, I designed a final ad unit to drive awareness and promote Cruella’s movie release.
RFP Submission
At the RFP stage, I collaborated with senior designer Andrey to develop a creative scrub unit featuring a bold reveal that captured the essence of Cruella’s character. With limited pre-release assets, we created custom visuals to bring our concept to life and incorporated trailer videos to further audience engagement beyond the initial interaction.
SCRUB UNIT
Reviewing Past Entertainment Campaigns
Reviewing previous successful entertainment campaigns helped shape our creative direction and approach to key KPIs. We noticed that the strongest-performing units leveraged film trailers or featured recognizable characters, insights that informed our rationale and strengthened the “why it works” behind the concepts we submitted.
Final Deliverables
The Disney team approved our Scrub unit and provided assets to support our vision, producing the pre- and post-reveal sketches for animation. We iterated on optimal layouts for CTAs and supplemental information, while I coordinated with their team to align on best practices for video length and overall ad experience flow.
SCRUB DEMO
Users scrub the screen to reveal Cruella’s costume sketches, unlocking a trailer preview and ending with a branded CTA. This interactive unit blends creative storytelling with engagement-driven design.
