I was tasked with rebranding the iconic musical "The Music Man" for the Goodman stage and a city-wide marketing effort. I emphasized the rural natural landscape and used a typeface 'Cenzo Flare' which is a mixture of modern sans serif and old Americana advertising. The photo illustration captured Harold Hill's arrival in River City and created a hopeful tone. Assets included print and digital advertising, theater marquees, building posters, website and social media imagery, ads displayed on public transportation, and merchandise t-shirts and photo backdrops for a publicity stunt.
