Entertainment creative agency mOcean recently contributed to the launch campaign for the arrival of The Simpsons on FXX, which kicked off on August 21st with a 12-day marathon of the shows complete 25-year catalogue. mOcean was integral to the post process, editorial and finishing of the epically funny Kitchen Sink spot announcing FXXs acquisition of syndication rights for the animated series. In addition, mOcean worked along with the FXX team to conceive and produce broadcast and online promos for the massive campaign.
mOceans other side-splitting creative includes choral homages to Danny Elfmans iconic main title theme; and viral mash-ups featuring Homer and Ned Flanders immersed in Simpsons-inspired memes.

This was by far the biggest, most exciting project with the FX family yet, says mOcean SVP Creative Director Greg Harrison, who has worked extensively with FX Networks, including the creation of branding spots for the launch of FXX, as well as on-air promotions for a number of their original shows. The inherent challenge was doing justice to one of the funniest, most beloved TV franchises in history, not to mention the legacy of its creators Matt Groening and James L. Brooks.
Echoing the spirit of The Simpsons was just one part of the marketing equation. The big-picture strategy was to filter the show through the FXX brand, which mOcean had previously contributed to with the Its Like network launch campaign.
FXX has its own comedic sensibility, and once we gained traction making that tonal connection with the show, our strategy became intuitive, Harrison explains. The choir spots are a great example of this. Inflecting the network brand of humor into the classic Simpsons intro, we could simultaneously honor the show.
Comedic timing was crucial to the choir spots, Keith and Incomplete, which mOcean refined every step of the way, from concepting and scripting to music direction and editorial. FXs internal graphics team produced the final animations.
Two more promos were derived from viral treatments that mOcean conceived during the pitch process. The concepts were so well-received that FXX commissioned them for broadcast. mOcean licensed YouTubes most popular fail videos for one of the promos, replacing each crashing head with Homers animated head screeching D'Oh! at the moment of impact; and, similarly, Deedly (set to the Toontastic techno track, Diddley Dee) is a montage of ridiculous YouTube dancers, whose heads are replaced with none other than Ned Flanders. mOcean handled writing, editorial, art direction, music supervision, sound design and animation for both spots.
The viral spots are a natural extension of FXXs user-generated brand aesthetic merged with the sensibilities of The Simpsons, concludes Harrison. Tons of credit has to go to both the FX and FXX teams for what we brought to this campaign. As always, they were incredible collaborators. Their cinematic, passionate approach to marketing is what empowers us to do our best work with them.
