Dorian & Daniel are a Berlin and Vancouver-based directing duo who met at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in 2012. Though born in different decades and growing up in remote parts of Germany, they shared a common passion for visual storytelling — one studied film history, the other worked as a graphic designer in advertising agencies before their paths crossed at film school. Known as the "Spec Ad Masters" by Adweek, they gained international fame with their Johnnie Walker spec ad "Dear Brother," which amassed over 20 million views and launched their global career. Since then, they have directed campaigns for major brands including Samsung, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and Erste Bank, winning awards at Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clios, and One Show — including the first Golden Film Lion for Germany in 9 years. Their strong cinematic approach creates work that is visually striking and emotionally engaging — sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always driven by powerful storytelling and big visuals.
