Selected work

Global entertainment brand

Taking a global entertainment brand to new audiences

Client need

A global entertainment franchise preparing for a major theatrical release needed to understand which new audiences it could reach, which markets offered the strongest opportunity, and what would move those audiences to engage.

Crux contribution

Crux built an audience segmentation with personas and emotional need-states, then translated those insights into brand and creative strategy, including distinct creative routes, messaging, trailer direction and market priorities.

Impact

The work became part of the strategic foundation for the global theatrical release, informing territory priorities, media planning, creative direction and market-by-market rollout.

Frontier physical AI company

Creating a category and positioning for Physical AI

Client need

A frontier technology company needed to define the category it could credibly own and explain its value clearly to enterprise leaders.

Crux contribution

Crux developed the category strategy and positioning, connecting advanced technology to a clear human and enterprise value proposition and shaping the brand promise, commercial narrative and ecosystem strategy.

Impact

The new positioning created a clearer foundation for how the company presents its category, value and role within the emerging Physical AI ecosystem.
