Having grown up deep in the Swedish countryside, Andreas Nilsson moved to Gothenburg to study painting and sculpture. His artistic background, combined with his immense interest in music, led him to direct a music video for a friend’s band and he hasn’t stopped since.

Andreas is well known for his visually dynamic sense of humor and his surreal and playful style.

His spot for Volvo Trucks “The Epic Split”, featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme, is one of the world’s most successful viral campaigns ever. It won 3 Cannes Lions Grand Prix, launching Andreas to the status of most-awarded commercial director worldwide. In 2016 he won the coveted DGA for Outstanding Achievement in Commercial Direction. For his Hornbach commercial “Sweat It Out” he was awarded two Gold, three Silver and a Bronze at the ADC Germany, including Gold for Best Director. Most recently Andreas won another Cannes Lions Grand Prix for Apple “R.I.P. Leon“ as well as 3 Gold Lions for his “Uber Eats” campaign and Gold and Bronze for Apple “Action Mode”.
