A thought-provoking campaign for China Global Television Network (CGTN) beautifully blends visuals, narration and music. Stephen Arnold Music continued its sonic branding collaboration with the network for “See the Difference,” creating a deft, yet powerful score for the campaign.
Stephen Arnold Music’s composers worked closely with Flint Skallen, building on the design firm’s rich imagery to tell an uncommonly intelligent story. For CGTN – comprising five international channels reaching viewers worldwide – the artfully abstract “See the Difference” emphasizes the network’s dedication to deeper journalism.

Creative Growth, the first organization dedicated to supporting artists with developmental disabilities, has teamed up with creative marketing company, John McNeil Studio to unveil its new brand. Representing 50 years of elevating the work of artists with disabilities within the arts community, Creative Growth’s new brand campaign includes a new identity and logo, new positioning, brand film and a redefined strategy centering on the ‘undeniable voice of art.’
Creative Growth’s evolved brand is at the forefront of a shift towards art that stands for the inherent reveal — the power of artistic expression to bring understanding and connection to us all.

Executive Creative Director, Gerald Lewis of John McNeil Studio explains “We needed to create a powerful, distinctive voice for the brand. But, it couldn’t compete with the voice of the artists because in the end, the art has to speak. It had to be simple, honest and genuine, in line with the mission of Creative Growth. Artists will spend 30 years making work, honing their craft and following their voice inside this space. We wanted to celebrate that. So, while the mark, the brand, is simple and honest, it’s also expansive and energetic.”
