Niklas Weise is a highly original voice in German advertising. Blessed with a dry sense of humour and a refreshingly unconventional view of the world.
His work is based on a firm foundation of performance-based comedy, populated by believable characters, and polished with a stunning visual style.
After studying film directing in New York, Niklas moved back to Germany where he made a name for himself as an in-demand music video and commercials director. He collaborated with major advertising agencies such as Wieden & Kennedy, Jung von Matt and Heimat, and has been honoured at numerous industry awards like the German Art Directors Club, the Austrian Art Directors Club and The Cannes Lions.
In 2021 and 2022 Niklas directed two seasons of the Fantasy TV Show Mysterium for German national television that evolves around topics of youth, identity and friendship packed up in a thrilling parallel world mystery.
Niklas lives in Berlin.
