about me

I would have been called Finn…

Buuut my English dad (whom I sadly haven’t inherited a suave accent from) looked at the initials: F.O. Foxtrot. Oscar. AKA F*ck Off. Brilliantly, my mom and he decided to put Jens in front of it so now it’s J.F.O. Just F-… yeah, you get the gist, but nuance is important and that’s why you get justfreakinolsen.

So hi, I’m Jens, 26 years alive. Now with that origin story out of the way, here is something that you REALLY want to know about me:

My love for stories is only matched by my passion for learning new things. I’m constantly experimenting and have been called a social experiment myself, which I’m totally okay with.

I believe there isn’t a thing more satisfying than finding that perfect insight. Because that’s when the magic happens. Over time, with a bit of creative elbow grease, it can turn into great copy, epic concepts and legendary campaigns. Ideally, a story for the ages!

Curious about what story we can create together? Then let’s have a chat.
