The latest Pollen Report from Ben Tonge 🐝

Fancy a Marty Nay Nay? They're Well Posh! 🍹 New work from Ben Tonge!

Welcome Matias Nystedt to the roster. Matias is an award winning director from Finland. As a film nut, he loves mixing different genres in his work and always adds visual flair to his films. He has a BA in screenwriting and film directing and a degree and background in graphic design, which comes across in his work. He’s a master of casting and, like most Finnish people, has a love of combining melancholy and humour in his work, and yet somehow, there's always heart in his characters. As well as a host of commercials for global brands, in recent years he's also directed six TV-shows in Finland, always bringing his unique style to create memorable characters and storylines. Matias is fluent in Swedish, Finnish and English and is based in Helsinki. Matias has teamed up with Dan Heighes (Former HoTV at Lowe, MAL and FCB) as his producer. They met on a project that Dan was agency and production company producing. Dan is based in London. Watch his work here https://lnkd.in/ernGkpBR

Before Tango 😴 < After Tango 🍊🤪 💥New spot by our very own Ben Tonge “‘Warden’ shows an inmate being busted for having a can of Orange Tango—“the most powerful flavor on the street”—disguised as a generic orange soda. Just a taste of the soft drink sends the warden suggestively dancing around the prison, in a scene that shocks prisoners and fellow guards.” Says Samantha Nelson at Adweek CLIENT Britvic CAMPAIGN TITLE Warden ADVERTISING AGENCY VCCP EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR Mark Orbine CREATIVE DIRECTOR George Wait MANAGING PARTNER Ed Maxwell ACCOUNT DIRECTOR Victoria Goulder SENIOR ACCOUNT MANAGER Courtney Markham CSO Max Keane PLANNING DIRECTOR Devin Ross AGENCY TV PRODUCER Maxine Denton AGENCY CREATIVE PRODUCER Matt Hearn MEDIA BUYING AGENCY m/Six PRODUCTION COMPANY Girl&Bear DIRECTOR Ben Tonge (Dark Energy) EDITOR Mark Whelan (Kick the Plug Offline) Toby Cherrill (Girl&Bear Online) EXECUTIVE PRODUCER Jake Hafer PRODUCER Maxine Denton POSTPRODUCTION COMPANY Girl&Bear POST PRODUCER Maxine Denton GRADE Steffan Perry, Company 3 AUDIO POSTPRODUCTION COMPANY Jungle SOUND ENGINEER Ben Leeves PR & SOCIAL VCCP

🚗 Thank you for being a friend! 🤝 Dark Energy's Finn Mcough directs the new Volkswagen ad called ‘YourWagen'.
