Martin Stirling is a British commercial director known for creating emotionally charged viral campaigns that have amassed over 500 million views. He directed Save The Children's "Most Shocking Second a Day Video" (2014), which won two Gold Cannes Lions and a Webby for Best PSA, compressing a year of conflict into 93 seconds through innovative one-second-a-day editing. For Greenpeace, he directed "LEGO: Everything is NOT Awesome" (2014), featuring an elaborate 12-foot LEGO diorama consumed by 50 gallons of oil mixture, earning Silver Cannes Lions and D&AD's White Pencil—their highest honor for world-improving creativity. The campaign drove seven million petition signatures and ended LEGO's Shell partnership. His Road Safety Authority work "Anatomy of a Split Second" won Gold Epica for Best PSA of the Year and multiple Gold Kinsale Sharks for Direction. He has directed campaigns for Mercedes-Benz EQB, Indeed, WWF, Philips Hue, and Fiverr. His TV credits include directing both series of BAFTA-nominated comedy "The Mind of Herbert Clunkerdunk" and ITV2's "Buffering." Stirling trained through winning 24-hour and 48-hour film challenges, including Sci-Fi London's 2012 grand prize, developing his ability to execute on compressed timelines and minimal budgets. He is working with Partizan (UK, France, US West Coast/Midwest) and Hustle (US East Coast).
