Mickey Micklos is an AI Director, Creative Director, and Visual Storyteller with nearly two decades of experience creating bold, cinematic ideas that stand out in today’s crowded content landscape. He specializes in blending striking imagery, emotional depth, and cultural relevance to craft branded campaigns that connect and perform.

His work spans concept development, creative direction, and high-end post-production, uniting storytelling instincts with technical expertise. Every campaign, concept, and AI-driven video begins with an idea, a vision of what could be, and Mickey brings that vision to life through years of experience in film, design, and visual strategy.

Today Mickey serves as AI Director at Wieden+Kennedy New York, where he leads the agency’s generative AI production practice and directs campaigns that merge cutting-edge tools with cinematic storytelling. He has also co-developed Dreamboards AI, helping define how AI fits inside a professional creative pipeline. Technology amplifies his artistry but never replaces the imagination behind it.

He has collaborated with brands including Google, Cointreau, LEGO, Mastercard, Intel, Nike, Formula 1, Revlon, and Clinique, helping bring their stories to life through world-class visuals and immersive campaigns. He first built his reputation as a premium colorist, shaping emotionally resonant images for commercials, films, and branded content, and that eye for color and tone now informs everything he directs.

Beyond client work, Mickey channels the same instincts into his passion project, Project Tomorrow, exploring immersive storytelling by reimagining rides, attractions, and experiences in the spirit of modern Imagineering. That same obsession to create stories, worlds, and images that captivate and inspire continues to drive everything he makes.
