Acclaimed Dutch director Bart Timmer is the latest addition to The Sweetshop's New Zealand
and Australian rosters.
Already repped by The Sweetshop USA, Timmer is bringing his signature comedic wit and distinctive eye to clients down under.
On signing to The Sweetshop ANZ, Timmer says “Finally crossing the ocean. Jet lag pending.” Timmer has spent the best part of the last three decades crafting character-driven comedy with a cinematic eye. His work is as instantly recognisable as it is powerful, with iconic ads for brands such as Volkswagen, Heineken, jim&fix, and Canal Digital, to name a few. Subtle, silly, and everything in between, Timmer has a genuine gift for getting the most out of people in front of the camera.
SaysBen Dailey, MD/EP The Sweetshop New Zealand “Bart doesn't really need an introduction, his work has been at the forefront of comedy for as long as I can remember. Bart is a perfect fit for Sweetshop and we look forward to having him down here soon."
“Bart brings a rare sophistication to comedy. He understands the quiet agony of being human, the awkwardness, the panic and the social misfires, and turns it all into work that is precise, cinematic and genuinely funny.” adds Greg Fyson, Global Head of Director Development, and Co-MD of The Sweetshop Australia.
Timmer is one of the most decorated directors in the world. His work has gained recognition within the global award circuit at award shows such as Cannes Lions, D&AD Awards, Clios, and Eurobeasts.
Timmer is now available for commercial, branded, and short-form projects across Australia and New Zealand exclusively through The Sweetshop.
