Bio & background

Amber Grace Johnson is a New York-born commercial director repped globally by Object & Animal, with additional rosters at Phantasm (France), AKKURAT Studios (Germany), and Pine (Sweden). Her brand work spans Spotify, Prada, Mercedes-Benz, Nike, Dior, Puma, H&M, Under Armour, Hyundai, Savage X Fenty, Moncler, Diesel, Hublot, Lexus, Nissan, The Glenlivet, Pure Leaf, and IKEA. Key campaigns include Hyundai IONIQ “I’m in Charge,” her first car commercial co-produced with AKKURAT and Jung von Matt NECKAR; Spotify’s immersive “All ears on you” platform for FCB New York (Shots Awards 2022 Best VFX nomination); H&M’s Paloma Elsesser swimwear spot and “Enjoy the silence” Sistine-ceiling concept; Hublot’s WW25 “Big Bang” (2025); Moncler “Higher Peaks”; Diesel “Only Desire”; Lexus “Everyday Extraordinary”; and the Free The Work PSA with Wieden+Kennedy Portland, premiered at Cannes Lions Grand Palais in 2019. She earned AICP 2020 Best New Director and Best PSA nominations, Ad Age A-List & Creativity Awards 2020 Director to Watch recognition, Young Director Awards 2020 nominations for J.
