Sanjay De Silva is a Melbourne-based Sri Lankan/Australian director working with DIVISION for commercial work in France and the United States. He made his advertising debut in 2020 with a three-minute anthem for Flybuys through CHE Proximity Melbourne, which SHOTS called an "audacious introduction" that made "talk of retail rewards somehow cool" and earned three 2021 Australian Directors Guild Award nominations. His work is characterized by immersive camerawork, bold color palettes, and gritty visuals rooted in his music video background with artist Sampa The Great, which earned 2020 D&AD Awards, 2020 Clipped Awards, and multiple ARIA nominations. He has directed campaigns for Adidas Euro 2024 through Jung von Matt (winning Gold at 2026 New York Festivals), IKEA through Mother London channeling MTV's "Cribs" format, multiple Google Australia projects through Colenso BBDO and R/GA including AI-focused brand films, and a character-driven McDonald's Australia spot for DDB. His roster includes work for Wimbledon, PS5 x NBA, and Spark, with an emphasis on storytelling, authenticity, diversity, and culturally grounded casting.
