Overview

While working at DMM, a social media advertising agency, I worked as an Art Director on a series of animated advertising campaigns for Epic Games. The project focused on creating high-impact 3D motion ads designed specifically for mobile and social media platforms. These advertisements were developed to capture attention quickly, communicate gameplay and promotional messaging clearly, and perform effectively within fast-moving digital advertising environments. My role involved both creative leadership and hands-on animation work, helping guide the visual direction of multiple campaigns while ensuring assets remained optimized for platform-specific delivery.

The Challenge

The Challenge

Mobile advertising presents a unique set of creative constraints.

Ads are competing for attention within extremely fast-paced environments where users often decide within seconds whether to continue watching or scroll past.

The campaigns needed to:

  • Capture attention immediately

  • Communicate clearly without relying heavily on sound

  • Maintain strong visual readability on small screens

  • Stay aligned with Epic Games’ visual standards

  • Deliver polished animation within tight production timelines

Because the assets were designed specifically for social and mobile platforms, pacing, composition, typography, and motion all needed to be optimized for short-form viewing behavior.

Creative Direction

Creative Direction

The overall creative direction focused on producing visually energetic advertisements that felt polished, cinematic, and platform-native.

The campaigns combined:

  • 3D animation

  • Motion graphics

  • Dynamic typography

  • Gameplay-focused visuals

  • Fast-paced editing

  • Bold compositions

A major priority was ensuring that each ad communicated key information quickly while still feeling visually engaging.

Motion design principles such as exaggerated movement, strong silhouette readability, rapid visual pacing, and high-contrast compositions were used to improve clarity and retention on mobile devices.


Production Process

Production Process

My workflow centered around balancing high creative standards with the fast-paced production demands of digital advertising. Many projects operated on tight timelines, so the process needed to stay flexible, collaborative, and efficient without sacrificing visual quality or clarity.

Most campaigns moved through several stages of development, beginning with early concept exploration and storyboarding to establish the creative direction and pacing. From there, I developed motion studies, 3D animation sequences, typography systems, and graphic overlays that helped bring the campaigns to life across digital platforms.

Because the work was primarily designed for social and mobile advertising, optimization played a major role throughout production. Assets often needed to be adapted across multiple aspect ratios, formats, and platform requirements while still maintaining consistency in motion, branding, and overall impact. The final deliverables were built to feel polished, fast-moving, and visually engaging across every touchpoint.

Outcome

Outcome

The final campaigns delivered polished, visually engaging motion advertisements tailored specifically for mobile and social media environments.

The work helped support Epic Games’ broader digital marketing efforts while maintaining strong visual consistency with the brand’s established identity.

The project also demonstrated the importance of adapting high-quality motion design principles to performance-driven advertising formats where clarity, speed, and engagement are critical.

Reflection

Reflection

This project strengthened my ability to work within fast-paced production environments while balancing creative direction, technical execution, and marketing performance goals.

As an Art Director, it reinforced the importance of designing specifically for platform behavior rather than simply repurposing traditional advertising assets.

The experience also deepened my understanding of how motion, composition, pacing, and visual hierarchy can dramatically influence audience engagement within short-form digital advertising.
