creative brief | excerpts
MTV NEW is 'cool' and 'stylish' and keeps its viewers up-to-date with a selection of quality music and videos. It is editorially driven and informative with an entertaining twist. MTV NEW is more purist in both its output and look. Create an identity which is fresh and bold and will make a mark.
