Director Dougal Wilson's vision, style and ability to stir emotion has seen him work for an impressive collection of brands and bands. 

His adverts for John Lewis have become an annual event, with 2016's 'Buster the Boxer' once again claiming the top spot in the yearly parade of festive ads, while his 'We're The Superhumans' film for Channel 4 garnered widespread praise. He's collaborated with everyone from Ikea and St Johns Ambulance, to Lurpak and Heinz, and with artists including Stealing Sheep, Temper Trap and Bat for Lashes.
