Joe Leih

Joe Leih, a filmmaker lauded for his clever storytelling and subtle humor, has developed a stellar reputation as a commercial director for clients such as Sony, Texas and Kentucky Lottery, Four Points by Sheraton Hotels, and Sierra Mist.

Joe burst on to the advertising scene in 2005 when his viral PSA for marcandtom.com won a Bronze Cyber Lion at the Cannes International Advertising Festival and was a One Show Shortlist. SHOOT magazine soon featured Joe as one of the top emerging commercial directors in their New Directors Showcase, and Fast Channel's SourceECreative singled out Joe as a director to watch. In 2007, Joe won again at Cannes taking home a Young Directors Award with his spot for Amstel Light. His spot for Roland made the Young Directors Shortlist, and both commercials were featured on Shots Magazine's DVD 102. In 2008, Joe's Amstel spot was shortlisted for the AICP MoMa award show and Joe was featured as one of the top up and coming directors in the world on Shots Magazine's New Directors Reel.
