Ben Berman’s commercial work is characterized by a distinctive blend of surreal humor, comedically rich dialogue, and memorable characters. His spot portfolio reflects his ability to merge unconventional storytelling with brand messaging, resulting in advertisements that are both impact-fully hilarious and artistically rich.

Ben’s balance between entertainment and marketing has not gone unnoticed. He has directed commercials for an enviable list of agencies and clients including Wieden & Kennedy, Old Spice, Barkley, Big-O Tires  and  Credit Karma, among others.

Outside of the commercial world, Ben is best known for his feature documentaries The Amazing Jonathan Documentary, which sold to HULU in a bidding war at Sundance, and  The American Gladiators Documentary for ESPN.

His shorts, such as I’m a Mitzvah (starring Parks & Recreation‘s Ben Schwartz) and How to Lose Weight in 4 Easy Steps (starring SNL’s Beck Bennett,) have also received wide acclaim as both Staff Picks on Vimeo and premieres at Sundance. His latest Staff Pick is Heads, a charming and innovative exploration of prolific NYC sculptor, Jack Cox.
