NiceMobil™


Series of sponsorship films for mobile provider NiceMobil

Fig.01. — It’s good to talk


i. Project Background
        A series of TV sponsor bumpers and online video ads for NiceMobil — all built around their quirky mascot and a splash of brand color. 

       The original brand design came from the talented folks at Bleed Design Studio, giving a bold and minimal foundation to play with.

ii. Project Background
        The message? Super simple. No specific programs, no deep storytelling — just short, snappy spots from 3.75 to 15 seconds long.‍

       With minimal elements and tight runtimes, I focused on turning constraints into creative opportunities — using timing, visual gags, and moments of character to bring the mascot (and the brand) to life.‍The result is a series of mini-scenes that say something about mobile life — all through the eyes of the mascot. 

        The result? Hopefully just what NiceMobil wanted: bold, memorable, a little surreal, and a lot of fun.
