About

Jussi Pekkala

I like complicated problems and simple answers. Ideas worth making and words worth saying.

For over 15 years, I’ve worked with everyone from local favourites to global brands like Apple. I’ve created campaigns, built brands and led creative teams at agencies and in-house.

And yep, still love writing a good line.
