Complex
Sneaker Shopping | Promo
Sneaker Shopping is the #1 Sneaker Show on the internet. Through 12 seasons we've helped create the promo that keeps fans excited about sneaker culture. A deep understanding of sneaker culture, and the creation of content throughout each season to get audiences excited about tuning in week after week on youtube, MSG network, hulu, and more.
Complex X Fuse | Promo
Complex worked with Fuse to create a 2 hour block of TV which consisted of remixed Complex Shows and original content. Our goals were to promo to linear TV, and through our efforts Complex X Fuse became Fuse's #1 show of all-time. Additionally their demo went from 45+ to ~22. My team worked on creating weekly tune-in content. This involved creating a series of templates that would work with clip outs from the show, as well as, creating custom scripts and ADs that worked to promote certain aspects of the block.
The Complex 7 | Social Series
The Complex 7 was a series that we made with the prompt "what would you do with a famous person if you only had about 5 minutes?” We developed about 14 questions that could be shifted into a 7 question selection, and made a flexible shooting style, and a graphics package that would be suitable for multiple content types.
ClickBait | Social Series
ClickBait came from the observation that our audience likes hot takes and strong opinions. We used this social series to pose questions that would solicit a strong reaction. I art directed the look/feel of this was made in Vaporwave aesthetic because the term click-bait is a very 90s term which goes well with an early windows aesthetics. I also filmed and directed this series. It is another series and can be filmed in 10-15 minutes.
What's In The Box | Social Series
Complex's audience loves unboxing, this series focused on strange or rare collectable items. It was made to slot in the many things that are constantly sent to our office. I shot edited, art directed, and produced this series.
