Director Erik Van Wyk joins Jungleboys for representation in Australia and New Zealand
Sydney based production company Jungleboys has added the considerable talents of internationally renowned director Erik Van Wyk to its stable of directors.
Beginning his career as an advertising creative, Van Wyk kickstarted his move into directing by being ranked by Boards magazine as one of the top 5 new directors worldwide. That honour was teamed with selection in the prestigious ‘Saatchi and Saatchi Directors Showcase’ at Cannes.
From there Van Wyk picked up a steady stream of award winning work for brands like Coke, Cadbury and Canon through renowned agencies W&K Amsterdam, BBH London and TBWA Los Angeles. His broad body of work covers visual narrative storytelling, performance and comedy.
Says Nick Simkins, EP, Jungleboys: “I think Erik is one of the most assured commercial directors working today, anywhere. Every frame illustrates confidence. What I like is that he genuinely understands the agencies objectives and is passionate about collaborating to achieve them. We’re really excited about introducing him to the local market, and he’s equally excited about being part of the unique work being produced out here.”
