The CHALLENGE

Looney Tunes is one of the most recognized animation franchises in the worl, which is exactly what made it hard. Warner Bros. needed the brand to show up authentically on TikTok and Instagram for a Gen Z audience that has no nostalgic attachment to it, without alienating the fans who grew up with it. The risk wasn't obscurity. It was irrelevance.

STRATEGY

The brand had heritage. What it needed was a point of view. Rather than leaning on nostalgia or chasing trends reactively, we positioned Looney Tunes as a cultural commentator, a character-driven voice that could speak to whatever was happening in the world that week with wit and timing. The characters already had distinct personalities built over 80 years; our job was to translate those personalities into platform-native behavior, not just content formats.

THE SOLUTION

Over four years at Movement Strategy, I led the visual identity, creative system, and art direction for the brand's entire social presence. That meant building the toolkit from scratch — defining how each character showed up across memes, parody posters, original video, influencer collabs, and tentpole campaigns — and directing a team of designers, editors, and strategists across 30+ unique weekly deliverables. For the TikTok launch specifically, we developed a platform-native creative language that balanced the brand's classic visual DNA with the scrappier, more spontaneous register the platform demands. Campaigns like ACME Fools, the Paris Olympics collab, and What's Up Tok? each required their own creative approach while staying unmistakably Looney Tunes.

LOONEY TUNES TAROT CARDS

(MAJOR ARCANA)

A fun side project, I had the opportunity to create a playful series of Tarot cards inspired by the Looney Tunes mythology. By studying the classic Rider–Waite designs, I translated those compositions and fused them with references to beloved Warner Bros. cartoon characters, matching each character’s personality to the traditional tropes of the cards. Calling it work would be an exaggeration; it was a light, creative exercise meant to give fans a whimsical nod toward the imagery they love. The biggest challenge was fitting all the characters in while leaving room for more, and with a bit of luck and time I hope to finish the entire deck someday.
