Bio & background

Jake Scott is an Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated director, partner in Ridley Scott Associates / the Ridley Scott Creative Group, and founder of Black Dog Films. Based in the RSA Films ecosystem across the US and UK, he directs high-profile commercials, long-form branded content, features, and documentaries. Signature commercial work includes Nike’s Emmy-winning “Move,” the multi-award-winning Johnnie Walker “Gentlemen’s Wager” films with Jude Law and Giancarlo Giannini, the Budweiser Clydesdale Super Bowl trilogy, and HBO Voyeur, which won a Cannes Grand Prix and Cannes Cyber Lion. Recent highlights include Crown Royal’s first Super Bowl spot “Thank You, Canada” (2023, feat. Dave Grohl; No. 1 by CBS Sports), Pepsi x Gladiator II “Make Your Gameday Epic” (2024 NFL kickoff anthem; AdAge No. 1; Webby People’s Voice), Wrangler “Good Mornings Make for Better Days,” Allstate Mayhem spots, Chipotle “Time for Real,” DoorDash “Survive College,” Amazon “Everything Must Change,” Bud Light “Easy Receivers,” BMW “Your Way,” plus Super Bowl and automotive spots for LG, Coca-Cola, Kia, Mazda, and Subaru. His craft favors disciplined camera design and performance truth: real-time athletic motion study on Nike “Move” with no tricks and one lens; continuous-take geometric staging on HBO Voyeur; single-shot blocking on George Michael’s “Flawless.” Long-form work includes INEOS’s Kipchoge: The Last Milestone (2021). Producers seek him for Super Bowl-scale heartfelt brand epics, celebrity and athlete vehicles, automotive lifestyle, and actor-led comedy.
