To help launch “Your Year”, nutrition and weight loss company Medifast’s new campaign designed to motivate the masses to become their best selves in 2016, production company Aggressive combined live action, playful hand-drawn illustration and dynamic music and sound design to create a multi-dimensional spot that brings a little whimsy into the real world. Collaborating with creative shop GKV and producing agency Poertner Productions, Aggressive combined illustrative animation with delightfully styled live action to craft a charming story of an imaginary calendar year coming alive with new opportunities thanks to Medifast’s colorful food offerings.
