Business understanding, strategy and creativity
Jakob Hessellund is co-founder of the agency and his specialties are strategy, MA stories and executive management counseling. In addition, he ensures that the framework around our PR work is in perfect shape: That our IT solutions are updated and our customers receive monthly reports on time.
Broad background
Jakob is originally educated HA(jur.) with an unfinished M.Sc. in strategy and management, when he instead chose the start-up route and founded an IT company together with a number of colleagues from a previous workplace.
“Good PR requires both strategy and execution. We can do both.”
After ten years in the IT industry, primarily as CEO of Encode, Jakob changed path and took a journalism degree at the Danish School of Journalism. He then worked as a communications consultant for several IT companies until founding the PR firm Kemp & Kjær in 2014.
The combination of business acumen, strategy and communication makes Jakob a trusted advisor for both top executives and marketing departments.
Ski, kayak, nature
In his private life, Jakob is often on the move – on the water, on snow, on the road. His playground is the waters in and around Copenhagen, where he keeps fit in a flatwater racing kayak. Hiking with his son and wife is his favorite form of vacation.
