In its latest true-crime series, Oxygen’s Murder for Hire explores the dark world of contract killings, showcasing some of the most fascinating murder-for-hire cases ever to be caught on tape.
To promote the show, Oxygen turned mostly to its in-house creative team, with a little help with the graphics from Los Angeles and London-based agency Kill 2 Birds. The promos rely heavily on sound, expertly tracked to the video, and on grainy hidden-camera footage that makes the viewer feel like they are eavesdropping on a secret.
The series comes from Dick Wolf, creator of the Law & Order and Chicago franchises on NBC.
Murder for Hire airs premieres Sunday, April 7, on Oxygen at 7/6 c.
