2018 saw MJZ pocketing its ninth Palme d’Or at Cannes as well as the Grand Prix for Entertainment: Music for Spike Jonze’s “Welcome Home” film for Apple. The latter, which also earned a 2019 Creativity Award for Craft of the Year, benefited from Jonze's deft direction, evident in the intricate choreography, art direction and set design.
The entire roster’s work spanned multiple categories and genres, ranging from Tom Kuntz’s cheeky Action Man ad for Mother’s Moneysupermarket swan song, to the Perlorian Brothers’ surreal take on “Smoooth” for Klarna and Steve Ayson’s Skittles Super Bowl ad starring David Schwimmer, which only one viewer got the chance to watch.
