Each ad is based on a story supplied to us, is unique to Universal and reflects their core values.

Utilizing actual Universal employees where available (see the Remembrance Day ad featuring Steve Black, Unversal’s sales manager, we recreated the balance of ads with local models. A key component way the repetition and reinforcement of the Iconic ‘U’ graphic applying a custom surface treatment depending on the theme of the ad.

We produced a wide range of versions of the U Matter ads across many platforms including billboards, transit, digital, magazine and social media.
