Biography

Dougal Wilson (born August 1971) ) is an English director of commercials and music videos for artists including Coldplay, Massive Attack, Will Young, Goldfrapp, The Streets, Bat for Lashes, Basement Jaxx, Dizzee Rascal and Jarvis Cocker. His many commercials include those for Apple, IKEA, the BBC and Amnesty International. Dougal's adverts for UK department store John Lewis have become a widely talked-about part of British popular culture. His three-minute advert We're the Superhumans, promoting Channel 4's broadcast of the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, garnered the Grand Prix for Film at Cannes Lions in 2017.
