Conor Finnegan
Conor creates worlds you want to live in—warm, offbeat universes where puppets have souls, animations breathe with life, and every frame pulses with personality. His signature blend of tactile, handcrafted visuals with razor-sharp humour has made him one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary advertising.
Master of mixed media, Conor seamlessly weaves live-action with puppetry, 2D, and CG animation, creating visual experiences that feel both nostalgic and cutting-edge. But technique never overshadows story—his comedy timing is impeccable, drawing performances from both humans and handmade characters that are nothing short of genius.
From Android to Target, Macy's to Crayola, brands trust Conor to bring their stories to life in ways nobody else could imagine. His trophy shelf—heavy with British Arrows, Shots, and ADC awards—proves that distinctive vision and commercial success aren't mutually exclusive.
