On Brand with Jimmy Fallon

On Brand with Jimmy Fallon is an innovative unscripted series that follows what happens when Jimmy Fallon starts a premier marketing agency and fills it with the most creative, clever, and competitive go-getters he can find. The series will be hosted, executive produced, and created by Fallon based on his experience and expertise working with an impressive list of global partnerships in the auto, insurance, apparel, gaming, and technology industries.

Among the household brands to be featured are Captain Morgan, Dunkin’, KitchenAid, Marshalls, Pillsbury, SONIC, Southwest Airlines, and Therabody. Samsung will power the “On Brand Agency’s” headquarters. Canva is the On Brand Agency’s design partner.

Fallon recruited Bozoma Saint John as the On Brand Agency’s Chief Marketing Officer, where she will mentor the creatives and evaluate their work. Saint John is a legendary marketing executive famous for pushing boundaries and who boasts an unmatched resumé of C-suite experience at the world’s top brands, including Uber, Pepsi, and Netflix.

In each episode, the On Brand Agency creatives will work with a major brand in need of a big idea for a massive, high-priority campaign – from creating earworm jingles and unbelievable activations to producing the most quotable commercials and must-have merchandise. They will have unprecedented access to the client’s businesses before pitching their vision to a brand representative, along with Saint John and Fallon, with only the best ideas moving on to proof of concept and the opportunity to see their campaign brought to life on the national stage after each episode.

In a final big assignment, one visionary will be named the best in the business, given a cash prize, and provided the experience of changing the cultural landscape. All the creatives will truly need to flex their innovative muscles to turn the unfinished into the unforgettable. The only rule? The best idea wins.

The “On Brand” format will be licensed globally by NBCUniversal Formats, a division of Universal Studio Group. On Brand with Jimmy Fallon is produced by B17 Entertainment and Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with Electric Hot Dog. Executive producers are Jimmy Fallon, Brien Meagher, Rhett Bachner, Pip Wells, and Kelly Powers. Creative Artists Agency’s (CAA) Media & Entertainment Partnerships division serves as a collaborative business partner with NBCUniversal to bring leading brands to the show.
