The Ladders
If you’sre a monster, you announce your presence with authority. Such is the story behind ‘Monsters,’ a new spot directed by Dante Ariola of MJZ for high-end job search engine The Ladders. The spot was directed by MJZ Dante Ariola in collaboration with Method Studios, ad agency Fallon Minneapolis and Company 3. Seamlessly blending old-school movie monsters with the latest visual effects and computer generated animation, the spot takes a humorous look at what it takes to get a big job done.
