Project summary

After pitching a proactive idea for a citizenM YouTube series, the client was absolutely sold from the get go. The plan was simple, create a series that follows exceptional people and what they love about their city (from artists to food pioneers) and establish citizenM as the go-to hotel for the trail blazers of the world.

The series included 25 YouTube videos that were shot by various freelancers, in 5 countries across the world. I created the series title and a formula for each episode to follow, to ensure continuity.

From storyboard, to direction, to overseeing execution - I was truly involved at every stage of this project, seeing it come to life over the span of 2 months.

 
The results? Over 2 million views on the London citizens alone.
"From the creative strategy to the creative output, the team at Born flawlessly translates our brand identity to strong social-first content that marries citizenM's love for art and community (and big announcements!)"
