Lebo M: Coming Home.

CONTEXT
As the voice and the spirit of the Lion King, Lebo M’s music has created a global tribe, bringing people together through his genius song writing and understanding of storytelling.
Now on a quest to bring his family together, the most important tribe to him, Lebo M returns home to South Africa to rebuild and setup stable roots for his broken family, dealing with complex family drama, as his perfect family ambitions are threatened.

CREATIVE 
We created an integrated campaign that captures his journey of becoming through various mediums, highlighting his career moments, to ongoing family conflict/drama showing how Lebo M is facing the music and fine-tuning life.
