Eight has announced it has signed Steve Saussey for representation in Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

 Saussey has worked for all major agencies in Australia and New Zealand on brand campaigns across many categories, with more than 250 commercials to date for the New Zealand, Australian, American and Asian markets.

Katie Millington, managing director and executive producer at Eight, says everybody loves Saussey.

“It’s just such a pleasure having him in the building. He tells a bloody good story. He’s such a calming force and a wealth of experience, which is so exciting for our younger directors.”

For Saussey, transmuting ideas, stories, and feelings from page to the screen can be a complex, delicate, mysterious process.

“My first rule? Work with nice people who know what they’re doing. Hence the team at Eight. But don’t tell them I said that.”
