BIO
Maroni is a Norwegian commercials director living between Oslo and New York. When he is not snowboarding in Norway he likes to jump on a Citibike and do circles in Central Park with his five year old son.
Maroni has directed hundreds of commercials across the globe, working for all the top agencies and with renowned brands such as: Pepsi, Volkswagen, Axe, Ikea, McDonalds, Burger King, Fiat, CocaCola, and Nokia. For many years he partnered in a duo and production house with director/DOP Nic Osborne.
Maroni specialises in character-driven comedy with a firm focus on cultivating that subtlety and finesse evident in his work.
With 25 years of experience and a reliable gut for great casting, Maroni is just as comfortable directing pure feel-good spots as he is directing the characteristic sketch comedy spots.
For Maroni the sweetest win is when a character or situation can be relatable to the extent of prompting a nod or a smile.
On his mantelpiece are Cannes Lions and golds from New York Festival, Adfest, Epica, Abby and Clio, to mention a few.
Sir Martin Sorrell is known for leading the world’s biggest agency-cluster, the WPP group, and regarded as one of the most powerful people in global advertising. When Sorrell was asked by Harvard Business Review to name his all-time favourite commercial, he didn’t pick a film from his own agency, he picked BERLITZ “Coastguard”.
