01 · The Brief

The Brief

Adults is a new FX series following a chosen-family of young roommates navigating their twenties in New York. The campaign had to translate its sharp, character-driven tone across every surface a show launch touches.

Six asset families spanning motion to print: long-form trailers and promos, character key art establishing the ensemble, social cutdowns sized for feed, theatrical-style posters, ultra-wide OOH banners, and a sticker pack for fans.

The whole system had to feel like one show. Whether you saw Adults on a bus shelter, in your story feed, or on a friend's laptop sticker, the brand had to land instantly — same color logic, same type, same ensemble framing.

02 · The Approach

The Approach

Series launches are surface-multiplication problems. The character work is the source of truth — get the cast positioned and styled right, and every downstream asset (trailers, posters, OOH) inherits from that. Bottom of the stack is the sticker pack: small, fast, fan-facing.

Step 01
Character

Establish each cast member as a single key-art unit with consistent treatment.

Step 02
Trailer

Pull moments from the show into 16:9 cutdowns that match the still character treatment.

Step 03
Social

Cut the character work down for vertical feed and stories.

Step 04
Poster

Compose the ensemble into theatrical-style posters for paid and press use.

Step 05
OOH + Swag

Stretch the system to ultra-wide billboards and tighten it down to stickers.
