Clay Weiner

Clay Weiner’s performance-driven comedic style and indie spirit permeate all of his creative efforts, from commercials to online shorts and more. A graduate of Columbia University where he studied philosophy, Clay began his advertising career as a writer at Cliff Freeman & Partners, then later spent time at Publicis New York, BBH New York and Wieden + Kennedy Portland. Clay also worked as a writer for Conan O’Brien’s late night show and for The Onion. As a commercial director, Clay’s original comedic vision has lent itself to edgy and impactful spots that resonate with a wide audience. He is the standing director for Sonic’s long-running “Two Guys” campaign, having collaborated with Goodby Silverstein & Partners on over 250 spots and counting for the brand. Clay also directed AMV BBDO’s acclaimed “Look on the Light Side” campaign for Maltesers incorporating disabled actors, which earned numerous awards from shows including D&AD and Clio, was named one of 2016’s best commercials by the APA, was heralded by the brand as its most successful campaign in a decade, and sparked a wide-reaching discussion on inclusivity. No stranger to viral videos, Clay previously wrote and directed the award-winning “Dude” for Bud Light, which garnered over 38 million views and earned him a 2008 Young Director Award at Cannes. Clay has also crafted memorable work for Netflix, Infiniti, Comcast, Nike, the California Lottery, ESPN (starring Steph Curry), consecutive holiday campaigns for Hallmark, and Goodby Silverstein & Partners’ recent award-winning #DeviceFreeDinner campaign for Common Sense Media starring Will Ferrell. In addition to his spot work, Clay is known for his witty independent online shorts, including Emmy-nominated “The Christmas Tree.” He has also published an award-winning book of photography, TRY-ONs, which tracks his transformation into over 140 eccentric characters.
