Jon Day
Inspired by the likes of Michael Gondry, Spike Jonze and Charlie Kauffman, Jons showreel reveals a performance-driven director with a lovely sense of humour.
Jon started out writing, directing and producing his own material for a few television shows before turning to commercials. He had 2 spots short-listed for the CFP E / Shots Young Directors Award in Cannes 2006, which drew the attention of agencies and production companies in South Africa and Europe.
He approaches boards with heaps of energy, tells a good story visually, and is easy-going and collaborative in his working style.
A compulsive record collector, Jon also has a great ear for music. He used Beautiful, the single from The Parlotones, on his Fuji spot for Irish agency McCann Erickson, which helped land the South African band a worldwide deal with Universal UK.
Jons wary of being typecast. I hate being put in one box, he says. If made to chose, I would lean towards humour, but Im intrigued by a whole bunch of stuff I havent done yet!
