In his first year as a Director, Jeff won multiple Gold Lions at Cannes, Pencils at D&AD, British Arrows, APA Crystals and almost every other award available for Levis ‘Secrets & Lies’ and the shocking Barnardos ‘Break The Cycle’ for BBH. His immersive narrative and depth of story and character shine through in his work for Adidas, Boots, Volkswagen, Heinz, KFC and HSBC.
Paul Prince, CEO and Founding Partner at The Sweet Shop said, “Jeff’s reel displays multiple hats of cinematic, epic storytelling and emotion. His award-winning work expresses big ideas as simple human truths, touching audiences and capturing the spirit of contemporary society and culture. I’m hugely excited that he’s chosen to join The Sweet Shop for representation across Australasia and I can’t wait to see what we create together.”
Jeff added, “I’m thrilled to be jumping into fresh markets. Paul, Wilf, Fiona and Daniel are overflowing with experience of craft. The trust, respect and friendship I have with this team makes me feel that absolutely anything is possible.”
