Object & Animal (O&A), which earlier this year took on commercialmaking and branded content representation in the U.K. and the Netherlands for director Mark Jenkinson, has extended that reach to now also include the U.S. market.
“Mark has really built a name for himself over the past few years as one of the top storytellers in the automotive world,” said James Cunningham co-founder of O&A. “His performance skills and cinematic style really stand out as a filmmaker–with or without his stunning car coverage! We’ve admired him since day one, and are thrilled he’s decided to join us in the U.S. market.”
Just a couple of months ago, a Jenkinson-directed spot for NASCAR, “Always Forward,” won an AICP Post Award in the Editorial: Automotive category for editor Adam Marshall of Whitehouse Post. “Always Forward” came out of agency 77 Ventures Creative and was produced by Imperial Woodpecker, the production house that repped Jenkinson in the U.S. most recently prior to his joining O&A.
“Mark’s passion and energy for the craft of filmmaking is obvious,” said Morgan Clement, managing partner at O&A. “He is an exceptional talent, one that has shifted the game; and with his versatile approach to action and storytelling, he is sure to always bring a fresh perspective.”
Jenkinson added, “Having admired Object & Animal since their launch, I’m genuinely excited to be joining the O&A family and their talented roster of creatives.”
