Steven Saussey

There's something undeniably funny about Steve Saussey. Renowned across Australasia as one of the most well-known commercial directors, he's been perfecting the art of bringing humour to the screen for longer than he'd care to reveal. Specialising in comedy performance with a keen emphasis on character, Saussey's portfolio spans the spectrum from the wry and subtle to the utterly ridiculous - and everything in between.

With extensive experience as an award-winning copywriter and a background in fine arts, design, and illustration, Steve brings a unique perspective to the creative process. His eye for production design and overall visual expertise stem from his training at Elam School of Fine Arts, where he graduated as a graphic designer and illustrator. This diverse background allows him to infuse each project with a level of creativity and insight that sets his work apart.

Collaborating with major agencies in Australia and New Zealand, Steve has crafted over 250 commercials for various markets, each one a testament to his ability to blend humour with clarity and impact. He excels at creating engaging spokespeople and unique characters, skillfully weaving them into mini-plays that inform and entertain in mere seconds.

With Mr Saussey at the helm, expect the unexpected. From alternate realities to abstraction and absurdities, his work pushes boundaries and challenges conventions, all while delivering a message with clarity and wit.
