BET+: Defining a Premium Digital Identity

I joined BET+ at launch in 2019 as part of the founding creative team, helping build the platform’s visual identity from the ground up. As the service scaled, my role evolved from designing core brand systems to leading digital creative across campaigns, platform experiences, and partner ecosystems. The focus has always been the same: make BET+ feel premium, cohesive, and culturally resonant, while supporting growth across millions of subscribers.

I led the creative development and visual direction of key art for BET+ originals and major content drops, ensuring each title had a distinct personality while still feeling undeniably BET+. That meant building a repeatable creative standard across typography, composition, color, and messaging, then adapting it title by title for streaming, social, and partner placements.

Beyond campaigns, I helped shape the platform experience through curation. We designed collection systems, seasonal programming moments, and editorial groupings that guided discovery and kept the service feeling alive. The goal was simple: turn browsing into storytelling, using design and smart packaging to drive viewing behavior and strengthen retention.

A strong example of the impact of curation was the Love Gone Wrong collection. We reframed existing titles through refreshed key art, messaging, and prominent platform placement, turning familiar content into a new moment that pulled in attention and helped drive a wave of new sign ups. It proved how packaging and positioning can create real performance, even without a new premiere.
