Expo TV
Redesign & Brand Transformation
Role: Sole Creative Director
Core Domain: Consumer Video Review Platform, Dual-Audience Web Ecosystem, Brand System Architecture
User Journey Scope: Multi-Audience Strategy (Consumers & Video Reviewers → Community Onboarding & Campaign Participation | Enterprise Brands → Authentic Review Sourcing & Facilitation)
Executive Summary
To attract a broader user base of active, engaged video reviewers and elevate its enterprise market presence, Expo TV initiated a comprehensive brand and digital platform overhaul. The strategic objective was to position Expo TV as the central authority facilitating authentic communication and consumer-generated reviews between everyday consumers and leading brands.
As the sole Creative Director, I executed the end-to-end rebranding program hands-on across all touchpoints. I designed the foundational brand identity system—including logo concepts that merged camera imagery with user-to-brand dialogue—engineered the complete website redesign, authored comprehensive brand guidelines, and developed marketing collateral and executive presentation decks to establish long-term brand governance.
