Award-winning commercial production company Cap Gun Collective is very proud to announce the addition of director Noah Paul to their roster for U.S. representation. Says Cap Gun Collective executive producer Matt Abramson, "We are thrilled for Noah to join us. I’ve been a fan of his for a while now, he has an amazing ability to create stunning, poetic and cinematic imagery. We were really struck by the quality of his storytelling and his thoughtful and considered approach to the work.”
Born and raised in New York City, inspired by the streets, Noah began as a graffiti artist. His passion for graffiti began in grade school and led to his future love of design and typography. After graduating with a BFA in Advertising and Graphic Design from the School of the Visual Arts in NYC, Noah began his creative career serving as the Lead Designer for premiere Hollywood film title house, yU+Co. Following that he became the Design Director and Head of Film for NY culture magazine BULLETT.
As a result of his varied creative background, Noah’s filmmaking is influenced by a craving to create riveting and poetic visuals while maintaining a narrative that always touches the human condition. “My work stems from a very diverse set of interests,” says Noah. “Past experiences of graffiti, design, fashion, and photography continue to inspire my work as a director.” Though he has a keen eye for cinematography, casting, production design, and wardrobe that drive his visual approach, his true skill is in having the unique ability to find the humanity, authenticity, and truth in every project he touches.
In 2013 Paul was a finalist at the prestigious CFPE/ Shots Young Directors Awards as well as SHOOT's New Directors Showcase. He has also been awarded Best Visual Design at the Webby Awards, Online Video at the Telly Awards and multiple Staff Picks on Vimeo. Along with honing his commercial filmmaking, Noah was the 2nd Unit Director on a feature film starring Donald Sutherland and Brie Larson set to release in early 2017. His directing career has taken him to over 30 cities across the world working with clients including AT&T, PayPal, Lincoln Motors, Levi’s, and Nestle for agencies such as BBDO, McCann Erickson, Publicis, Havas and Campbell Ewald.
On the U.S. roster for Cap Gun Collective, Noah joins Alex Fendrich, Matt Miller, Mike Warzin and Spooner Bonde. For commercial and branded content assignments, the collective is represented on the East Coast by Bespoke 360, on the West Coast by Get Reehl/ Get Davis, and in the Midwest by Them Reps, while Reveur represents the roster for music videos.

By Chad Cook -- With more than five billion people accessing social media daily, savvy brands understand the importance of cultivating a strong social identity. They devote massive resources toward brand awareness, audience targeting, content strategy and community engagement. Yet, while they know that social platforms are critical to boosting sales and attracting new customers, many neglect one of the most effective tools for connecting with consumers: sonic branding. Marketers often associate sonic branding with catchy mnemonics used by big brands like McDonaldโs, Netflix and Intel in their advertising. But that is a very limited view of what sonic branding is and what it can do. Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And itโs not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. Thereโs a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, itโs surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. ย That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it โfits.โ Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with whatโs trending but is out of tune with brand identity. Effective sonic branding, by contrast, requires thoughtful strategic planning,... Read More
