DANIEL/DAVID
Freelance creative directors by day, ravers by night.
Miami Ad School born, Heimat Berlin raised, antoni_ Berlin matured.
Over six years at antoni_ Berlin for Mercedes-Benz. Steering campaigns to cultural impact with a penchant for all things non-traditional.
Daniel and David specialize in cinematic brand storytelling, fully integraded campaigns, and cultural-moment marketing. Their work for Mercedes-Benz includes brands like the G-Class, Mercedes-Maybach, Mercedes-AMG, EQ electric vehicles, and corporate brand campaigns. They have directed creative for product launches (Mercedes-Maybach SL, C-Class), motorsport marketing (Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1), and global cultural initiatives (International Women's Day).
Their approach combines high-production-value filmmaking with internet-native humor and cultural references, from 70s space operas to epic vampire dramas and retro video game aesthetics.
