MJ Delaney is a British, New York–based director whose commercial work spans comedy performance and socially driven brand films. She broke through with the 2010 viral Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind) spoof, which led to her debut major campaign for Aldi—an extensive run of street-cast talking-head price spots that won Best New Director at the BTAA/British Arrows Craft Awards and Best Campaign at the Creative Circle 2012 awards. Advertising credits include Novartis’s Super Bowl 2025 debut “Your Attention Please” (Clio Health winner, via Moxie Pictures), M&S Food’s 2024 Christmas film “A Christmas Journey” starring Dawn French (Merman), plus spots for Nando’s, KFC, Walkers, Weetabix, Western Union, NIVEA, Grubhub and Avon. Impact work includes Project Everyone/Global Goals films (“What I Really, Really Want” Spice Girls redux; “Freedom”) and the Obama Foundation Global Girls Alliance “Think.” Parallel narrative credits include Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso (Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, “No Weddings and a Funeral,” plus Emmy and DGA nominations), Stick, Frank of Ireland, Ten Percent, Renegade Nell, Gutsy, and the BAFTA-winning short Summer. She is working with Moxie Pictures (US & Canada) and Merman (UK).
