Mardo El-Noor

Mardo is a director-designer of ads & music videos from New Zealand. With a keen interest in combining live action with animation & typography, he approaches all his projects through the lens of a graphic designer. You will clearly see evidence of that in the style frames he creates for his projects, & his referencing to UI design & poster design when pitching for projects.

As a self-professed style-chameleon, Mardo is less concerned with recognition for a particular aesthetic or genre, & more about finding creative solutions for his clients. This rather utilitarian approach had led him to become New Zealand’s go-to director-designer for mixed-media ads.

Mardo tends to do all post production work for his projects himself. This Jack-of-all-trade tendency has proven to be a winner with agencies & clients as he would think of what’s required in post-production while still in pre-production.
