Tom Brown joins The Visionaries

The Visionaries have just expanded their extraordinary roster - please welcome, the imaginative and multi-talented, Tom Brown!

With a wealth of experience in post-production and live action, Brown’s skill set spans a diverse and wide range.

Brown has done everything from technical composition to motion graphics, to designing and illustrating for campaigns. He’s done spots for Channel 4 and 5, as well as BBC.

In the last few years, Brown has dived into the realm of writing and directing, working with brands such as Curry’s, Gumtree, and Captain Morgan.

Regardless of what role he plays, Brown always brings his off-kilter humour, bright and bold visual style, and playful animations to his work, creating an almost Edgar-Wright-like vibe to a lot of his work.  

Recently, Brown has just created 4 new spots for NatWest. The hilarious, bold, and quirky ads star an Anchorman-esque mascot titled The Dean of Downtime, who aims to give students more fulfilling experiences. Brown has added his own personal goofy and colourful charm onto these ads, making them all the more memorable and spectacular.

We can’t wait to see what other one-of-a-kind innovative work Brown will create in the future.

It's raining cats and dogs (and kids) in Philip Clyde-Smith's latest spot

Philip Clyde-Smith’s short and sweet new ad reminds us all why pets truly make the bestest of friends.

Clyde-Smith, shot the spot for John Lewis’ Pet Insurance. The ad centres on all the little things our pets do that, while being a brief disturbance, are what make them oh-so lovable.

The spot proves Clyde-Smith’s knack for getting convincing and natural performances with both kids and animals. Using real animals for the ad, Clyde-Smith captures a poised yet playful performance out of the pets, adding a sense of relatability and emotional connection.

Through a series of stunning close-ups and quiet moments shared between the animals and actors, Clyde-Smith’s spot captures and embodies the brand’s slogan that they are “there for your pets, like your pets are there for you.”

Concise and charming, the new spot showcases Clyde-Smith’s skills, and we are looking forward to his future work.
