New at Nine Campaign
For Comedy Central's newest comedy block of the funniest shows on TV we created a campaign that played on the idea of the time slot, namely 9PM. We wanted to create a quirky and memorable campaign through a series of promos that would engrain the idea of "New at Nine" so deep into viewers minds that they would tune in at 9PM every night to tickle that late night funny bone.
Exhibit No.01:
New at NEIN!
We played on the German word for Nein (meaning no) and the English word for Nine, which is just...nine. Anyway, we made a funny promo using no show footage and just our design and animation to bring our concept to life. The end result is a quirky fun take on getting the audience to tune into the 9PM comedy block.
Exhibit No.02:
The conspiracy of the nine.
For the second promo we wanted to create a cheesy conspiracy theory about the number nine. Our character is frantically trying to piece together all the clues, some obvious, and some even more obvious. We couldn't resist doing that "The Usual Suspects" mug falling in slow motion homage either! Also, maths is hard.
