Alex Ogus

Director, TWC Films

Originally from Toronto, Alex Ogus began making short films right out of film school and financed them with his award-winning salad dressing line. One of the films played at the Providence Rhode Island International Film Festival and featured a music score by Alex Lifeson of the rock band RUSH.

After breaking into the commercial world with a spot for his own salad dressing, Alex has gone on to direct campaigns in many parts of the world that feature strong ideas with natural, comedic performances.

In 2007, Alex’s Fight Network campaign won 4 Gold Lions at Cannes, a Clio, a One Show merit award and Best of Show, Gold campaign and single at the Bessies. His European Media Market campaign was a finalist at Cannes the following year and was voted one of the top campaigns in Belgium.

His subsequent work has continued to win awards and his client list includes VISA, Newcastle Brown Ale, Time Warner, Kellogg’s and XBOX.
