Creative collective Spontaneous announced today the company signed Anders Anders Hallgren (aka Ders) to their talented pool of artists. Previously a Creative Director at Headlight and Crossroad’s design arm, Anders Hallgren will serve as Senior Art Director, working closely with Creative Director John Leamy.
“I was drawn to Spontaneous by both the talent and the company’s track record,” says Anders Hallgren. “It has always been one of New York’s premier shops. I would like to continue on the path Spontaneous is currently on and pursue new mediums in which our work is created and displayed. Whether it be a commercial spot or U2 3D Imax film, the traditional realm in which we work has morphed and expanded into so many new avenues that it is an exciting time in our industry.”

Anders Hallgren has worked as a freelance art director and director at Imaginary Forces, Freestyle Collective, Trollbà¤ck, and Loyal Kaspar. He headed up commercial projects, directed image campaigns and developed packaging for networks including ABC, CBS, HBO, Reelz Channel, Showtime and The Weather Channel. Prior to this he was a commercial director with Remedy/Click 3X where he collaborated with Ken Burns’ Florentine Films and PBS, creating theatrical trailers for the award-winning “Jazz” documentary.
