DANIELLE CALODNEY
Danielle Calodney crafts some of today’s most delightful and memorable commercials. Hailing from the suburbs of North Texas, Danielle's early diet of Nickelodeon shows, Kurt Vonnegut novels, and the delightful chaos of her large blended family nurtured her unique talent for finding humor and absurdity in the most commonplace settings.
Starting as a documentary cinematographer, Danielle captured stories worldwide for nonprofits such as The Nobel Peace Prize Committee, and brands Capital One and American Airlines.
Transitioning to the directors chair, her roots in improv eventually caught up with her and led her towards comedy-driven work. A chance campaign for Pop-Tarts in 2020 set her on a path of playful storytelling full of endearing lead characters.
Since then, she’s worked with brands such as Snickers, Hostess, Jack in the Box, Twix, U by Kotex, Bushmills, and Nike, creating ads that feel both fresh and timeless. Her heartfelt PSA for The Taylor Hooton Foundation earned multiple awards, including Gold and Silver Tellys. Her campaign for U by Kotex went viral, receiving attention from Megan Thee Stallion and GreatBigStory.
Currently, Danielle is turning her suburban teenage experiences into a feature film script, which she fondly refers to as her “Suburban Opus.” She is also the co-owner of Suburban Girl.
