HERE ARE SOME OF THE USUALLY COOL, SOMETIMES WEIRD, MOSTLY FABULOUS AND ALWAYS CLASSY SMART AMBITIOUS FUN BRILLIANT AND INTELLIGENT NON-NDA PUBLIC THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE MORE OR LESS LATELY
-> I am currently working with multiple global and local umbrella concepts with different clients and collaborators in 4-5 continents.
-> Including a few ideas for a certain sophisticated electric car brand not owned by a democracy killing openly fascist ultra-blind senseless silly dummy capitalist, a couple of things for fairly reasonable governments, 2-3 sports meets culture meets fashion meets design concepts, a recently published old-school printed book project combining sports, academics, data and philosophy, a personal human branding project and advising for a leading European think tank founder and a few essential yet not always pleasant things related to racism, domestic violence, mis and disinformation, work-life balance, societal equality, climate crisis, mental health, bullying, suicides and artificial happiness.
-> In addition to that I have also successfully and smoothly led brand and storytelling for multiple Nordic-born regular clients such as Superstar Agency, Tekova, Edita Prima and SkenarioLabs in hyper close collaboration with some of the most phenomenal CMO/CEO/board/founders/ETC people.
-> Relocated back to Bangkok, Thailand, where I am currently based and occasionally hanging out in nearby places like Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Saigon building my South East Asian network as well as regularly making my way up to the Northern Asia in the tiny towns of Tokyo and Seoul while focusing on my creative consulting activities around Asia while meeting several new, former, current, potential and future Asian-based clients and collaborators particularly in Singapore and Japan but also in Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea, the Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and, most recently, India.
-> My collaboration list here in Asia, as well as everywhere, includes global, local and independent ad agencies, film production companies, design and sound studios and, VC companies and startup accelerators and of course, a fellow freedom matters independent creatives and consultants like myself.
-> Started new co-op things with multiple Nordic and European brands, companies, agencies and design studios.
-> Rebooted my London, UK collaborations after a few years break.
-> After careful consideration decided to re-enter North American market through various collaborations.
-> Helped creating a global football, or soccer if you insist, concept called Progressão that combines football, tactics, philosophy and science and currently includes a website, lecturing, popular podcast and a book that was published in print form too like it’s 1986 which, btw, was a great year for both football and humanity.
-> Started a new brand and storytelling collaboration with a Netherlands based sustainability and circular economy company that is operating in close to ten European countries trying to reduce waste smarter than others.
-> Increasingly expanded my kindly rioting creative rebel across the Nordic countries, particularly to Sweden and not only because I am almost half-Swedish myself, as well to Central Europe.
-> Kept mentoring my own The Global Work Rebel Scholarship Fund GWR students on a regular basis because that’s who the future are.
-> Led rebranding and re-storytelling process of regional B2B Brand Partnership unit for one of the biggest record labels on the planet.
-> Worked with various NGO’s such as the Finnish environmental foundation called John Nurmisen Säätiö and The Finnish League of Human Rights whom I have consulted in all things related to equality because nothing in this world is more essential than that.
-> Helped a Finnish-born formerly red and black believing public company called PunaMusta with tuning their new strategy, tone of voice and purpose because they needed a new direction that now is called… Rebl Group which sounds… a bit lot like my one man company’s name btw. What a strange coincidence.
-> Collaborated with several global Finnish-born corporations mostly with odd names such as Vaisala, Wärtsilä, Suunto, KONE and UPM Raflatac with all things related to the very specific expertise that they have.
-> Trying to get the only client I have ever had who did not pay the bill, the infamous Boxxed Group from the UK, to pay that bill they have owed me since 2019. This is an ongoing process.
-> Consulted with massive, medium and tiny start-up size clients such as Finnforel x LOHI whose still unfinished rebranding I was deeply involved with as the lead creative.
-> Mentored and advised several people with their work, life, thinking and career.
-> Will spend the entire month of May 26 in Tokyo, Japan meeting former, present, future and potential Japan-based clients and collaborators.
-> Declined to collaborate with many of the biggest, most famous and most powerful brands in the universe simply because the price, manners, appreciation, working conditions and company culture has not been ok. Do the right things people. I try to do and be the same. Rebel is real.
