Back Oscar Winner Tom Hooper on His Trio of Acclaimed Ads—And Why He’ll Keep Making Them July 09, 2024 Oscar Winner Tom Hooper on His Trio of Acclaimed Ads—And Why He’ll Keep Making Them Ad Age: "Few, if any, commercial directors can claim to have made three spots in 2023 that were as affecting as Tom Hooper’s long-form work for Vanish, Montefiore and Chevrolet.
