The Impact follows a new generation of influencers redefining culture through fashion, music, and digital platforms. Set against the distinct energy of New York and Atlanta, the campaigns explore ambition, individuality, visibility, and personal branding within highly aspirational worlds.
While each city required its own tonal approach, both campaigns centered on the same core challenge: positioning every cast member as both an individual force and part of a larger cultural movement. The visual systems were designed to balance personality with cohesion, creating campaigns that felt elevated, confident, and unmistakably tied to each city’s identity.

Although both campaigns lived under the same franchise, each city demanded a distinct visual language.
The New York campaign balanced polish with rawness. High-fashion styling was paired with grounded urban textures to reflect the city’s constant momentum and competitive energy. Composition, contrast, and scale emphasized resilience, ambition, and visibility, capturing the feeling of individual influence within a relentless city environment.
Atlanta leaned into boldness, personality, and scale. Styling, accessories, and composition highlighted individuality while reinforcing the city’s flashy, aspirational culture. The challenge was creating a system that felt elevated and cohesive without losing spontaneity or energy. Controlled hierarchy and refined styling helped unify the ensemble while allowing each personality to stand out.
