Simon Willows is one of the nicest men in advertising.
Having cut his directorial teeth as one half of duo Simon and Jon and directing promos for such luminaries as Moby and Boogie Pimps he joined Blinkink in 2004.
His commercial debut was a spot for Nike-Run London through Wieden & Kennedy, which was awarded a million awards.
More recently, his international online success “Slob Evolution” was nominated for an Emmy, Webby and Cannes Lion last year, and his commercials Persil “Fireworks” for BBH and McDonalds “Run Free” for Leo Burnett were both selected as Campaign’s “Pick of the Week.”
As comfortable with a puppet as he is with a human Simon Willows brings an element of hands-on, in-camera magic that is sorely missing from so much of our digital world.
