Goals & Motivations

Lives for loud design and branding that feels honest

Doesn’t care for traditional pharma ads.

If something’s going to interrupt his scroll or catch his eye on the street, it better be bold and opinionated

Visual & Cultural Taste

Drawn to big type, clean contrast, clever wit

Follows underground artists, design meme pages, and brand experiments like Liquid Death, Glossier, and Duolingo

Feels seen when brands take creative risks—even with basic consumer products

Screenshots clever ads and shares them with friends

Why This Campaign Speaks to Marcus

The Break through pain campaign speaks his language loud, fast, not trying to be cute

Billboards that shout in type? He notices them

Seeing a pharmaceutical brand like Tylenol go in a different dirention makes him pause
