About me

Jari is the head of the oldest and most award-winning Finnish advertising agency SEK, which is part of Grey network. He has +20 years of experience in working with B2B and B2C companies on strategic level.


Before joining SEK three years ago, Jari has worked as a Strategy Director and Planner in digital and ad agencies. He has also been a partner in an e-commerce start-up. Jari has more than 10 years of experience in digital communications, strategy and service development business.


Today, Jari is enthusiastic about the role of advertising; same time when marketers have started discussions claiming advertising does not create any value, irrelevant communication – spam is filling up our world. Only what you do, your actions, matter. Marketers need to create stuff people care about. Something new and meaningful that creates mutual value for the brand and its audience.
