Campaign & execution

The transformation

The 2022 identity program established a shared foundation for STARZ and its international service, alongside STARZPLAY’s transition to LIONSGATE+. A global audit covered digital, linear, social, paid media, direct response and publicity, supported by stakeholder interviews and competitive analysis. The system needed to hold across programming, audiences and markets.

What I led

I led the evolution from positioning and identity development through the creative package, launch and implementation.

With Loyalkaspar and the STARZ teams, we developed a prism concept for the different perspectives within the brand. Logo, typography, imagery, motion, navigation, promotional creative and sonic expression had to work as one system.

Beyond the identity

The system extended across linear channels, product and platform changeover, originals and movie promotion, social, distribution partners, and acquisition and retention creative. Team onboarding and usable standards made it work beyond launch.

The system in use

Identity motion and multi-title campaign artwork carried the prism across STARZ Originals and the wider brand.
