YES TV CANADA

400 new name ideas. 3 TV stations. 1 awesome challenge.

TV CHANNEL / BRANDING + COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATED MARKETING

when canada says yes, nobody can say no.

In Fall 2014, CTS TV (Crossroads Television Station) had a brand overhaul: from its blue colours and traditional visual language, it transformed to a channel that is fresh, engaging, electric, smart, cheeky, and awesome. Partnered with a new line-up of programming, the rebrand was something you can never say no to.

"real, good, and real good", FALL 2014

This 30-second spot showcasing YES TV's Fall 2014 lineup focuses on three things YES TV boldly offers: entertainment that is good (family oriented and values programming), shows that are real (reality TV shows), and what YES TV generally and truly is: real good.

WE PROPOSED, AND CANADA SAID  YES.

SAY YES TO GOOD, CAPTIVATING ADS.

The challenge was the same from the start: create something fresh that no one can say no to, with a little twist this time around: marry the new distinct branding of YES TV to shows that have their own pre-existing familiar identity. 

SNAP. CLAP. CLICK. SLIDE. HIDE.

Those five words make up the electric visual language of YES TV's motion graphic library.
