Campaigns: Key Art
The big picture
Born and raised in entertainment, we just love making key art designs. The Hollywood Reporter defines the term “key art” as “the singular, iconographic image that is the foundation upon which a movie’s marketing campaign is built.” Sounds about right.
Here’s how to prepare an inviting key art image using only the ingredients you can find at the office. Open up a fresh art board, make sure it’s spot clean. Mix the essence of the show, film, or product with at least 25 years of experience in entertainment marketing. Let it sit for a few meetings. Add a lot of face (preferably eye contact), brand colors, and emotions that connect with the right audience. Flatten and bake according to delivery specs, garnish with big logo and exciting new copy. Serve in small or big screens depending on media budget.
Take a Chance
Take A Chance is a gripping documentary film about a convicted stalker with an unwavering obsession for ABBA’s Agnetha Fältskog. From logo to key art, motion graphics, campaign concept and eternal ad production, Dallas helped both production company A Rabbit Hole and streaming platform Amazon Prime package this story with style and integrity.
Amazon Prime
Always be turning heads
Just about to introduce local nordic content with two giant campaigns, Amazon Prime invited a stack of agencies to a pitch deluxe. We won one of them by not being afraid to make some heads spin. Proudly introducing this eye-catching, loud, yellow, extremely adaptable campaign unique to every screen. We put ourselves through SAS training to be able to pull this production off, but who remembers a turbulent flight when the destination is this bright yellow? That’s right, no one.
