Jesper is a master storyteller from Sweden.

From his beginning as part of the collective Mekano Baby, Jesper has gone on to make innumerable award-winning commercials, collecting Bronze, Silver and Gold Lions at Cannes, Gold Epicas x2, EuroBest Silver, Golden Eggs and Best Swedish Director. He is one of the most awarded directors in the world.

His Christmas films for Allegro have become as famous in Europe as John Lewis ads have in the UK. The first of these, about a Polish grandfather’s quest to learn English, set a record for an ad on YouTube, notching up 14 million views within two weeks of its release and getting coverage on most major national news outlets—including in the UK, a rarity for a foreign-language commercial.

He has worked with brands such as CrossCountry, HSBC, McDonalds, Netflix, RBS, Electrolux and IKEA (multiple award winner), Nettbuss (Cannes Silver), SEB (Golden Egg awards), Co-Op (Cannes Silver), Libresse, Cheerios, One-Call and UNICEF.

Jesper’s unique talent lies in his refreshing insistence on saying exactly what he thinks and his ability to find both comedy and real emotion in authentic human moments. He meticulously plans and structures his storytelling, but when his finished films are viewed, they appear to be spontaneous slices of life, very often featuring people in their underwear.
