The music video and commercial director joins in the UK and US

Vaughan Arnell needs no introduction. The directing veteran has worked alongside some of the biggest names in popular culture on the most iconic music videos of all time. His stellar advertising portfolio for global brands such as Levis ‘Creek’, Stella Artois ‘Red Shoes’, Aviva ‘I am John’ and Wrangler ‘Be More Than Just a Number’ made Vaughan a multi-award winning prestigious commercial director and he now boards the Merman ship for commercial representation.


Vaughan has directed prolific artists such as George Michael, Kylie Minogue, The Spice Girls, as well as Robbie Williams, for whom his video 'Rock DJ' was voted seventh most ground-breaking video of all time. Vaughan has scooped up numerous awards in his career including three Brit Awards for 'Millennium' 'Rock DJ' and 'Say You’ll be There' as well as numerous D&ADs and British Arrows for his commercial work. His videos on YouTube have been collectively viewed over four billion times. In 2016, Vaughan also won an MVA Icon Award for his dedication to the music industry.


Vaughan has been heralded for his cinematic vision and hands on approach with celebrity talent that consistently puts them in the comfort seat to always guarantee natural and engaging performances time and time again. His ambition is relentless, his optimism ceaseless and both qualities have seen him turn his attention to potential long form projects under Merman’s Branded wing. Most recently Vaughan has directed music videos for Pet Shop Boys and James Blunt and has recently shot with Idris Elba for Sky.

Vaughan reunites with Merman MD/EP of Branded & Commercials, Siobhan Murphy having previously working together and is delighted to join the team in a new chapter for a new decade.

Vaughan says of the reunion: "Merman is one of the most exciting and forward thinking production companies around. From the moment I walked in, I could feel a real energy and hunger from the whole team. Their passion for creativity is palpable. My notebook is crammed full of ideas which I just can’t wait to develop with Merman.”

Siobhan Murphy says: “I had the pleasure of working with Vaughan previously and loved every minute. We have a fantastic working relationship and I had always hoped that one day we would be reunited. He is hugely committed to everything he puts his name to, whether that’s a music video or a commercial. Vaughan’s passion is infectious and we’re looking forward here at Merman to creating into a diverse range of opportunities from long form to short form. This is an exciting time for Merman.”
