JAMM and Director Chris Balmond Get Furry for VIZIO in “Watch us” Spot

Culver City VFX studio JAMM bring their CG creature skills to this jaunty holiday spot for US smart TV brand VIZIO directed by Chris Balmond thru agency David&Goliath with Imaginary Forces crafting the new animated logo mnemonic.

David Angelo, founder/creative chairman of D&G: “‘Watch us’ is not just the new tagline for VIZIO, it’s the brand’s new ethos – giving people more and more reasons to not only watch them, but shifting the way they see the brand and its place in the entertainment landscape.

“The campaign dawns a complete rebrand, including a new look-and-feel that incorporates a modern ‘V-motif’ graphic across all mediums – from print, to digital, to the website, to broadcast, social, and beyond.

“The newly developed mnemonic for VIZIO draws the viewer in through the ‘V-motif,’ landing on the VIZIO logo and ‘Watch us’ tagline. Additionally, the launch work also seeds a manifesto from the brand, showing VIZIO’s commitment to innovation and elevating the entertainment experience to an entirely new level.”
