Hi, my name is Jon. I am 43 years old and residing in Aarhus Denmark where I live together with the love of my life Kristina, and our two wonderful daughters Karla and Frida. When I am not spending time with family and friends, or working on concepts, I love to work out and have been so for the last 23 years. Even though my age is increasing so is my strength, and currently I can probably deadlift all of the awards the most successful agencies have collected throughout the years (+200 kg). A skill which might come in handy if we have to put another one on the shelf together.
Since childhood I have always had a big imagination and dreamed up worlds and adventures. They would come to life with ink on paper, or be played out in roleplay together with friends in the small town I was raised in. Luckily for me along came advertising, and a chance to earn a living using my imagination. Today, 18 years after my first day as an intern, I still get just as excited on receiving new briefs and solving problems as back then. Creating concepts and ideas is a true passion that will always be a big part of my life.
When working with concepts I love the research phase digging out relevant insights that can spark a great idea, and make people interested in what you have to say. I think that part of the process is just as important as the idea itself. When it comes to execution of the final idea I take great joy and pride in crafting and making sure the execution is on par with the idea.
As a person, and creative, I love to work together with others. I think that working together and being collaborative produces better ideas and greater results. It is also more fun and giving than working alone. My own career is a testament to that.
I work for both agencies, brands and clients directly. I can step in solo or put together a team of highly skilled , and great, people, from my extensive network, to take on bigger briefs and challenges if needed.
Throughout my career I have worked with some of the biggest brands in the world and best agencies and have received more than 50 nominations and awards in all metals from ad shows. Among others Cannes Lions, Eurobest, Creative Circle, Epica and Shots.
