For CNN’s new original series, Nomad with Carlton McCoy, the network needed to introduce viewers to the host, since he’s not widely known. So CNN Creative Marketing created this series spots to help the audience get to know its new star.
For the spot “Meet Carlton” (below), we combined popular track “Nice to Meet Ya” with a fun video revealing McCoy’s passion for pop culture, food and wine (he’s a master sommelier), and travel and adventure – all of which the series will tackle.
Meet Carlton
“Journey” (above) teases the story of how McCoy rose from growing up in an impoverished neighborhood to becoming a wine expert and world traveler.
For the campaign’s third spot, “Finer Things/Diner Things,” CNN turned to longtime creative partners, Roger, to reveal McCoy’s personality and travel style as he combines discovering life’s finer things in the most unusual places.

Nomad with Carlton McCoy premieres Sunday, May 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CNN.
