Let's unleash the power of advertising
I worked on three consecutive NBCUniversal media upfronts, starting in 2014 at Leroy & Clarkson, when for the first time ever, all NBCU networks came together for a unified upfront campaign: 'All Together. Different.' We evolved the story in 2015, highlighting the massive tech and data power of the consolidated network's media portfolio. And in 2016, at Mod Op, I helped conceptualize the next chapter, conveying NBCUniversal's unparalleled reach with a new tagline, 'Reach Redefined.'

2015 upfront
With only six weeks from start-to-finish, the Leroy & Clarkson team delivered the biggest upfront of the year. The message was simple: Big data. Unprecedented in its precision and power. We embraced NBCUniversal's cutting edge ad tech in the biggest way possible, with a 180-degree, 13 screen immersive video projection at the Javitz Center, featuring over 30 minutes of video and animation, network sizzle videos, and the biggest stars in television.
2016 upfront
In 2016, I helped write and conceptualize a new phase of NBCUniversal's upfront story, highlighting just one astonishing fact: NBCU reaches an unrivaled 93% of US adults every month. While other networks claim they reach audiences, only NBCU has the power to truly "redefine reach". That idea grew into their new tagline as well as a gorgeous campaign, which was led and creative directed by Rachel Yoo at Mod Op.
2014 upfront
When NBCUniversal first consolidated its networks under a single upfront, they entrusted Leroy & Clarkson to produce the entire campaign and live upfront event, direct a mondo shoot with over 70 stars, and develop a new tagline and identity. With an intrepid team led by Julian Bevan and Daniel Fries, we came up with the tagline: "All Together. Different." This idea conveyed both the consolidated ad portfolio, as well as the fact that it was a groundbreaking new way of targeting audiences across media properties.
