About me
Jari started his agency career when social media marketing was becoming the talk of town. Thus his approach to creativity is social-first. This also lead to the creation of Kurio, which he co-founded in 2012. Jari has built many internationally awarded campaigns and helped Kurio reach Agency of The Year nominations. He is an avid keynote speaker, having taken the stage at e.g. Cannes Lions and Eurobest.
