Adele "Someone Like You"

Jake Nava, a North London native, possesses a rare combination of street cred and European refinement, a blend that is evident in his work, which often layers a coat of chic style over a rough-edged filmscape. 

Nava’s extensive advertising credits include projects for Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, Bacardi, Axe, Puma, HSBC and John Frieda, projects that showcase his trademark combination of striking visuals, a cool and sexy vibe, and quirky comedy. Nava’s portfolio includes collaborations with high-profile celebrities, including a Revlon campaign starring Halle Berry and Jessica Alba and a Rimmel spot featuring Kate Moss.

For all of Nava’s world-famous clients, perhaps nothing better expresses his high standing in the industry than the 10-plus collaborations he has done with pop diva Beyonce, including a sultry spot promoting her new Heat fragrance and her hit video Single Ladies, which won an impressive three MTV VMAs in 2009 (Video Of The Year, Best Choreography, Best Editing.  His Beautiful Liar video, featuring Beyonce and Shakira, was nominated for video of the year by BET and for six MTV VMAs, taking home the prize for Most Earth-Shattering Collaboration.
