Hello Love

What Hello Love does

Hello Love is a London-headquartered director representation and creative production studio founded by BAFTA-winning director Phil Dupée. The firm maintains a roster of international directors and produces commercials, branded content, music videos, tourism films, fashion and beauty campaigns, and photography for a client base of global agencies, brands, and music artists. Its core commercial offering is project-based creative direction and production, with in-house post-production (led by directors such as Spencer Young) and a dedicated music-video vertical under Head of Music Videos Ndella Longley. Named engagements span YSL, Valentino, MAC Cosmetics, Estée Lauder, Nike, Google (Pixel 6), Samsung (Galaxy A), OPPO, VISA, Mastercard, McDonald's, Le Creuset, Nescafe, Baileys, Swatch, InterContinental, St. Moritz, Oman Tourism, Levi's, Aldi, Kit Kat, Clarins, NFU Mutual, La Sorbonne, BBC Earth, Disney+ and Rexona.

The company operates a director-attached, field-sales model: projects are won via direct relationships with agencies and brand clients, portfolio presentations, and the individual reputations of its directors. Distribution is tri-continental — the London HQ at Television Centre's Wood Lane, a European regional office in Amsterdam managed by Creative Managing Partner David Bijker, and US representation through Phil McIntyre in New York — with directors actively working in the UK, US, mainland Europe, Asia, and Australia and one director (Santiago Burin des Roziers) reported as having filmed in over 30 countries. Marketing is portfolio-led through hellolove.tv and social channels on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, with no programmatic or paid-acquisition motion evident.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project fee basis (quote-based and negotiated per engagement) and the company does not publicly disclose pricing, revenue, or funding. It is privately held with no recorded institutional investment, parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or restructuring events. The four senior roles — Founder/MD Phil Dupée, Executive Producer Finn James, Head of Music Videos Ndella Longley, and Creative Managing Partner Amsterdam David Bijker — plus US Agent Phil McIntyre constitute the disclosed leadership.
