Owen is an award-winning director and creative director who's worked with Barack Obama, Jay-Z, ZHU, Bob Moses, SOFI TUKKER, Rema, Google, Apple, SiriusXM, A R I Z O N A, WME, Epic Records, Stella Artois, Sofar Sounds, Ford, Delta, Crypto.com, Amnesty International and Budweiser.
He’s won 20+ awards for his work at the Webby Awards, Clio Awards, SXSW and more. At SXSW, he's been a nominee for best music video, grand prize winner, film festival jury member and in 2024, official speaker.
In 2024, he also won three Clios for his latest music video for A R I Z O N A, becoming one of the year's biggest winners. He beat music videos by artists like Kendrick Lamar to win the top directing award of the year. Most recently, the project won two Webbys, including for Best Art Direction on the Internet, and was selected to be featured in TED's flagship conference.
He’s the founder of CTRL5, a first-of-its-kind creative agency for artists. He started it to use his background working for Barack Obama's 2008 campaign, and creative agencies like Anomaly, to help artists create powerful visual worlds across their album rollout campaigns.
He first helps artists develop a creative foundation and then creates content at an award-winning level around it, from album art to music videos. Through that process, he's given every artist he's worked with over the past five years their most successful music video of all time.
He’s also worked in-house at creative agencies like Anomaly, as well as in internal creative agencies at WME, SiriusXM and Budweiser.
