barrettSF Taps Snoop Dogg for WWE® 2K18
Now in its fourth year with 2K, creative agency barrettSF continues bringing a new level of intrigue to its ad campaign, “Be Like No One,” for the WWE® 2K18 video game franchise.
“Be next. Be N-X-T. Be different. Be weird.” These are the opening words of a voiceover by none other than global entertainment icon Snoop Dogg – a member of the WWE Hall of Fame – as images of popular WWE and NXT® Superstars display what it is that makes them like no one else – including everything from their unique styles to signature catchphrases or gargantuan size.
“Being a WWE Superstar is all about creating a memorable character that stands out,” said Todd Eisner, creative director at barrettSF. “WWE 2K18 is the only place where those characters are yours to control.”
WWE 2K18, is available for pre-order before its worldwide release on 10/17.

Contact via emailBoma | Camp Sugar Brand Identity
Rebel Wilson's Directorial debut “The Deb” premiered as the closing night film at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding a touch of creative flair to the film’s debut, the team at Boma helped in crafting the brand identity for Wilson’s production company, Camp Sugar.
“Rebel and her team approached us with this adorable character design and a simple question: ‘Can we make this happen in time for Toronto?’” shares Jason Cohon. “As huge fans of animation, and with such a fantastic concept from Josh and Meredith on Rebel’s team, it was an easy ‘yes!’”
The :05 identity opens in a serene forest scene featuring a hand-carved wooden sign reading “Camp Sugar.” As the camera reveals two hands gently holding the sign, a little girl playfully peeks from behind, inviting the audience into the world of Camp Sugar. Boma was tasked with designing and animating the 3D environment and character, delivering a fully rendered introduction that will serve as a long-lasting signature for Rebel Wilson’s films for years to come.
“We had so much fun making this and hope to be able to do many more unique versions for all of Camp Sugar’s films.”
Based in Los Angeles, Boma was created to fill a need for quicker turnarounds and tighter budgets while maintaining quality at the highest creative level. With a fully remote pipeline, global partnership across three continents and a team of senior creative talent, Boma is equipped to scale projects rapidly, regardless of budget or timeline constraints.
