Director Joe Ventura Joins Johnny Foreigner

Johnny Foreigner has far more than school holidays and excessive chocolate consumption to be excited about! The team is thrilled to welcome aboard the esteemed Director/Creative Director, Joe Ventura, adding an extra layer of excitement to their ranks. Joe's illustrious career includes stints as creative director at renowned agencies like W&K New York, W&K Amsterdam, and Mother London, where he left an indelible mark working on iconic brands such as ESPN, Nike, and Orange. He has written and directed compelling campaigns for industry giants like Apple, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Guinness, Burger King, Brand Jordan, and VW (need we say more?). But Joe's talents don't stop there; he's also penned a couple of television shows that have successfully been made for the likes of Comedy Central . With such an impressive track record, there's no doubt that Joe brings a wealth of experience and innovation to the table. 

Johnny Foreigner’s managing director Olivia Hirschberg says, “Joe is a hugely talented writer / director whose agency experience is invaluable to our freelance market. He has a 360* vision of the industry, knows what clients want and how to get them to engage in ideas. His hint of American humour works brilliantly here in the UK and his warm and empathetic ways make him a brilliant kids director, I’ve seen how they all warm to him on set’. On joining Johnny Foreigner, Joe comments, ‘I’m very excited to be joining the roster. Having just moved to London- I was made aware everything Olivia was doing and as soon as I heard, I knew I wanted to be a part of it.’
