Rich Downie

Rich Downie, professional comedy director, and amateur lion tamer; has quickly become one of advertising's go-to directors for short-form, comedic prowess.

Rich's unique ability to pivot between visual and situational comedy directing styles has led to collaborations with global brands and agencies on work that ranges from last year's Liquid Death Super Bowl spot, to the star-studded campaigns for Uber Eats. As a director who grew alongside the rise of social content in advertising, Rich understands and embraces the importance of a 360 approach to campaigns. He directed the award-winning Superbowl social spot for Uber Eats, featuring the cast of Wayne's World and a run time of 150 minutes -- one You Tuber Alex55647 commented: "This is the Wayne's World 3 we're just going to have to live with". And so yes, he basically directed Wayne's World III.

Rich is bi-lingual. He was born in Colombia and grew up living throughout Latin America, giving him a unique and rich cultural perspective.
