Comedy Director JJ Adler Joins The Salmon

The Salmon proudly welcomes JJ Adler to the roster!  With the latest addition The Salmon’s comedic prowess is reaching new heights. Founders Adam & Dave, who launched the company in 2022, joke that they’re inching closer to being flagged for hoarding an excessive amount of comedy talent.

JJ Adler’s sharp comedic instincts and ability to blend unique visuals with subtle humour shine through in her work for brands like Geico, Gain, Progressive, and Manscaped. Before her commercial film career, Adler was a founding creative and Head Director for The Onion News Network, winning a Peabody Award for its web series and TV show. Her short comedy "New Media" premiered at Sundance, and her documentary "Unattached" won a Student Academy Award. While she’s the founder of US-based Ruckus Films, her early career in Toronto practically makes her an honorary Canadian.

“We are thrilled to have JJ join our team and country,” says Adam. “If her directing tools were real-world weapons, they would be knives - finely honed and incredibly sharp. Her skills would be as formidable on the cutting board as they would be in the back alley.”
