Request QuoteMarc began writing and directing in the late 2000s, just as internet video was coming to the fore. In 2010, he wrote "Tasty, Tasty," an internet spot for Maccabi Beer featuring Isaiah Mustafa, aka”‘the Old Spice guy,” that went viral and launched his career in commercial video. Since then he has built a vast and varied portfolio as a creative director and scriptwriter for clients such as Volkswagen, Google, PETA, and SodaStream, along with scores of user acquisition spots and in-app videos for apps and gaming companies like Playtika and Papaya Gaming. Marc has also written screenplays for television and film, including “Tehran” (Apple TV+). In 2019, Marc co-wrote the Eurovision Song Contest Television Special, which was broadcast live to 180 million people around the world and voted as the best Eurovision of the decade. His short films have been featured at IndieWire, Film School Rejects, Director’s Notes, The Huffington Post, Digg.com and Film Shortage.
Annual brand campaign. After working on several Fiverr campaigns, I've developed a great working relationship with their in-house creative team. For this video the client's creative brief was to put a spin on the global AI buzz by creating an ode to humanity. My idea was to frame the ode as a conversation between two robots in the very distant future, both giving it more edge and, paradoxically, more humanity.
PSA for PETA, brought to me for copywriting by my friend who was the creative director on it. Plays with expectations with dry humor and shock value.
A product video for a digital pen that came to me via my relationship with the animation studio. I brainstormed the opening sentence - "you can draw a line..." and the idea flowed from there, enjoying the double meaning of actual line you draw with a pen and the line through history that the film represents. One of my first videos, and still one of my favorites.
This spot for VW is a good example of a quick copy job on an already filmed commercial. The job came to me through the director and ad agency while the film was in editing - their original voice over wasn't working - so I wrote up this alternative in a few hours and we were off to the proverbial races.
