Presence have recently welcomed BAFTA and Emmy award winning filmmaker Marcus Liversedge to their main Roster.
Following their work on Pokémon’s most recent commercial, Liversedge has already become an integral member for the Presence community. Liversedge, who is originally from North Manchester moved to London to specialise in music and story, continuing on to direct his first full episodes on a BBC show winning the International Emmy. He had much success in the TV scene directing series such as Almost Royal and Driven To Extremes.
Liversedge then took the commercials world by storm, and has built up an extensive repertoire with brands such as Samsung, Barclays and Kellogs. Liversedge’s commercial work is warm and witty but remains captivating. He fosters very real connections with audiences through his focus on storytelling and his unique creative vision.
Danny Fleet, EP at Presence says "We are so pleased to have Marcus join our team, his knowledge of the industry paired with his enthusiasm and work ethic makes him the perfect addition to our roster. Working together on Pokémon is when we really saw Marcus’ talent shine through, his work is simultaneously funny and charming, and his long history with both tv dramas and comedy shines through in his great storytelling ability. We can’t wait to see what Marcus brings to the presence roster and are super proud to have him join our team".
Liversedge says “I'm super excited to be represented by Presence for the UK market. Love working with Danny Fleet and the Presence team. My first experience of working alongside them was on Pokémon, which was a huge success. Our creative collaboration brought me into the creative world of Gaming once more. Originally I came from television to commercials, bringing with it a desire to deliver 'the real' as a vision and a look. I feel that that real approach is even more important now, and I know that Presence really understand that. From social first to feature length to TVC, Presence are already pushing me into new markets and I love that. I appreciate that they are looking out for me and championing me."
