Globetrotting directing duo Borgato & Bertè combine exquisite photography and intimate, offbeat moments to create emotional work of high style. Paolo Borgato and Tommaso Bertè met in Milan in 2004, both at the beginning their directing careers, absorbing the lessons of the advertising industry while working on their own projects. They catapulted into the industry spotlight with their PSA for Save The Children. The spot won them the Shots Young Directors Award, and their 2007 spot "Human Machine" won a place in that year's Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase. A thread of elegant photography connects all the directors' work, and their visceral sensibilities elevate the even the most simple concepts. Borgato & Bertè's client list includes Coca Cola, Ikea, Volkswagen, Sprite, L'Oreal, Vodaphone, and Gatorade, among others.
