When Dentsu set out to reimagine the Tokyo Motor Show, they were aiming to solve a large problem: declining attendance. The event previously focused on promoting new cars, but the Dentsu team wanted to open up the event to a larger audience, attracting attendees of all ages and backgrounds. Aleksandar Savić, with his uncanny ability to build complex illustrative worlds, created the main visual for the event. It was used on posters, banners, merch, and large sized installations. Together, Aleksandar and Dentsu executed a campaign that increased attendance by 70%, bringing in over 1.2 million visitors! Not only was the initial goal achieved, but exceeded, bringing in more visitors than anticipated. At Closer&Closer we help source creative talent to get big ideas across the finish line.

What started as just simple packaging and website renders for Morphe’s newest product, Cheek Thrills, quickly evolved into an entire advertising campaign. With no physical products yet created, the Wild Ember Creative team got creative with the component’s CGI mockups and the landscapes they lived in. These visuals even influenced the final design, the tray color changing from silver to champagne gold after seeing Wild Ember’s gold CGI mockups. Once the client saw how effective and cost-efficient it was working with Wild Ember, they came right back for the entire ad campaign! With the framework already built out, continuing and building onto the project became a breeze. Wild Ember also worked hand and hand with their team when talent was included in the campaign, ensuring that the CGI elements and the live photography flowed together seamlessly.

With a newer sport being brought to the Paris Olympics, it deserved its own special promotion! TikTok and the Olympics teamed up to celebrate the sport’s second appearance, needing a bold visual identity. With less than two weeks from outreach to printing, Jake Williams wasted no time getting started. Jake created custom character illustrations that reflected the movement of skateboarding, later being screenprinted onto multiple skateboard decks for TikTok content. With the talent already booked for the social content, time was of the essence. At the very last moment, the client’s original printer for the designs fell through. That didn’t stop Jake though. In just 12 hours, Jake found a new printer, managing the production logistics to keep the project right on track!

Steve Madden needed bold, attention-grabbing visuals for their 91 foot outdoor screens in the heart of NYC. Who better than Agustina Gastaldi Ferrario, with her strong work in hand-crafted lettering, expressive design, captivating animation, and strong collaboration skills, was ready to take their idea and hit the ground running. The project initially kicked off with two winter campaigns featuring animated lettering that was both festive and classy. With just 15 days for each animation, Agustina took the time to understand the brief, so much so that when she delivered the final product, no revisions were needed. The team loved working with Agustina so much that they reached back out AGAIN in March for a Spring campaign revolving around 90’s nostalgia (Full project linked below). https://lnkd.in/g6Fweijj Looking for your next creative partner to bring your vision to life?
