WCCB Charlotte’s CW Rebrand

Rebuilding a Broadcast Brand Under Pressure

From lost affiliate to model station

Helped lead the transformation of Fox Charlotte into WCCB Charlotte’s CW—repositioning the brand, redefining its voice, and building a new identity that ultimately became awarded the CW’s model affiliate.

When WCCB lost its Fox affiliation, the brand had to be rebuilt—fast.

The challenge wasn’t just a name change.
It was rebuilding:

  • Audience trust

  • Brand identity

  • Programming perception

  • Market relevance

All in a highly competitive media landscape.

We didn’t resist the shift—we leaned all the way in.

I helped lead the repositioning of the station as Charlotte’s CW, embracing a new identity and building a cohesive brand across:

  • On-air promotion and campaigns

  • Social and digital content

  • Original programming franchises

  • Event marketing and community presence

  • Instead of treating it like a downgrade, we made it the identity.

What We Built:

✦ Brand Repositioning

Developed a new voice, tone, and visual identity aligned with the CW audience

✦ On-Air + Campaign Creative

Concepted and produced promotional campaigns designed to drive tune-in and brand recognition

✦ Content + Franchises

Helped launch and promote original content franchises like Super Chat, Hidden Gems, Supernatural CLT and Food Truck Rumble CLT

✦ Audience Growth

Built engagement across social and broadcast, reaching over 1M households and 223K+ followers

The result:

  • Named CW Model Affiliate

  • Awarded Promax, CW Apex, and Addy Awards

  • Built a recognizable, differentiated local brand

  • Sustained audience engagement across platforms

What started as a forced rebrand became a defining moment.

By fully embracing the shift, we didn’t just rebuild the brand—we made it stronger.
