So who are the two directors upon whom Tom Berendsen is placing all his bets?
1. Vedran Rupic
Bosnian-born director Vedran Rupic has a rare ability to manage the twin demands of comedy and visual effects. In this ad for confused.com, for example, the humour could easily be drowned by the reconstruction of a Roman amphitheatre, but in this director's capable hands, it is not.
And if that takes some doing then how impressive is it to manage humour, a big effects-led set piece, and ensure that an important political message lands as well? Take a look at this commercial for Wagamama to see how it's done.

2. Tom Noakes
Australian born Tom Noakes is the other half of Business/Club London, and he is another exciting talent. In this exciting piece of work for Amazon, he demonstrates his mastery of multi-media while capturing the curious intimacy of reading at the same time.
In the following commercial for Glenlivet, Noakes has pitted his protagonist against a conveyor belt-stroke-existential obstacle course. Does it represent trying to make it back to your seat in a crowded bar with a full tray of drinks? Who knows? But it's very striking visually.
