Witness
Biography

Witness crafts cinematic stories grounded in real human experience—merging emotional depth with visual distinction to create work that resonates far beyond the screen.

Led by directors Simon Frost and Ben Hanson, Witness brings a rare blend of strategic thinking and emotional intelligence to every project. With backgrounds in psychology and early work with at-risk youth, they approach storytelling with empathy, nuance, and a deep understanding of the human condition. Their experience at top London agencies—and collaborations with leading U.S. shops like Droga5 and VML NY—ensures each film balances authenticity with clear brand purpose. Their work has earned the trust of brands like Amnesty International, National Geographic, Wimbledon, Dell, Xbox, Lexus, and Campaign Against Living Miserably—and has been recognized with major industry honors, including the Grand Prix at Cannes Lions, the Grand Clio at The Clio Awards, and the Impact Award at The British Arrows.
