Director Jonathan Herman, known for his comedic storytelling and strong visual narrative, has come aboard the roster of The Corner Shop for U.S. representation. Herman, who was formerly handled in the American ad market by Rattling Stick, continues to be repped in the U.K. by Blink.
Herman’s long-time collaboration with the Dutch beer brand Bavaria has produced several high profile spots with provocative celebrities such as Mickey Rourke, Hugh Hefner, KISS and Charlie Sheen.
The director’s work has gained recognition on the awards show circuit, including: a pair of spots for the French newspaper L’Equipe which won a Gold Lion at Cannes, a Dutch Lottery ad which garnered a Cannes Bronze Lion, a silver ADCN Lamp in the Netherlands and a Gold Eurobest honor in London.
Anna Hashmi is executive producer at The Corner Shop. The company’s sales force consists of Dana Balkin and Frank Antonoff at Resource on the West Coast, Mary-Kate Hatfield in the Midwest, and Peter Ziegler and Jonathan Jacubowicz at Ziegler/Juacubowicz on the East Coast.
