Creating a go-to destination for youth culture
JD Sports
Creative Lead
The challenge
JD wanted to be the top youth entertainment destination, but its channel lacked identity, cultural relevance, and audience connection. A full reset was needed.
The insight
Unlike its competitors, JD had real-world credibility in music, sport and culture. Its channel didn't.
My response
A complete channel overhaul...
↳ Embedded music, sport & culture as core brand pillars
↳ Developed a fresh slate of 6x YouTube formats + original social original formats
↳ Established a full, always-on publishing strategy
↳ Provided end-to-end oversight across scripting, shoots, art direction, edits, design, titling & thumbnails
