King She launched in fall 2022.
Within a year of their industry debut, directing duo Radha Ganti and Robert Lopuski were named AICP Best New Director, Ad Campaign’s Top 10 Directors of 2023, and finalists in Ad Age’s Creativity Awards Directors to Watch (‘23/‘24). This year they landed spots as Eyecandy’s Top Directors, Adweek’s Creative 100 Most Influential Cultural Creators and, once again, Ad Campaign’s Top 10 Directors.
King She burst onto the scene with Rare: The Boy Who Cried Swag, a bold short film that sparked global buzz after premiering on Nowness and winning 3 Young Director Awards in Cannes, among other accolades.
Their 1st brand campaign — Apple Music’s Diamonds and Pose for Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime — won Cannes Gold and Silver Lions and racked up over 10 million social impressions in the debut week. Their debut music video, the biopunk spectacle Tanto, was awarded a 2024 Cannes Bronze Lion for Excellence in Music Video.
King She’s collaborations with artists have ranged from Olivia Rodrigo to Teyana Taylor, Spike Lee to Jay-Z and Sha’Carri, showing a keen instinct for culture-shaping storytelling. Their music videos and campaign work for brands like Apple Music, Powerade, eBay, Spotify, and John Lewis, have received 65+ awards and nominations, displaying that their innovative process is a tool for resonant communication.
