JONAS STEGEAGER CREATIVE LEAD
I sharpen messaging and make brands easier to understand, so people feel them and respond. I step in when things have become unclear, when content is not moving enough, or when the brand does not hold together in practice.

Founder, The Marketing Guy
"During Jonas’ time at The Marketing Guy, he helped shape our brand through content, website work, creatives, and playful, unconventional video angles that reached several million views. Balancing the odd and humorous with a sense of strong production quality is difficult, but Jonas did that exceptionally well. At the same time, he was a great colleague and a big part of our culture."

CCO & Partner, Din Familiejurist
"I had the pleasure of working with Jonas while he was contracted at Din Familiejurist. One of the things I admired about Jonas from day one is his fantastic, wonderfully twisted, deeply creative mind. He combines strong know-how in graphics, flows, campaigns, and marketing with a unique perspective we simply had not considered before. At the same time, Jonas has the rare ability not just to think big thoughts, but to bring them to life. He can sell an idea internally, bring the right people on board, and push the process forward as a natural coordinator across teams. It can be hard to find a marketing profile that insists on measuring effect, especially when that means inventing completely new parameters. Jonas is constantly focused on judging what works, what does not, and what needs more or less attention. It has genuinely been a breath of fresh air, and I am convinced our paths will cross again. If Jonas knocks on the door of your business, get ready to spot opportunities you did not know were there."

"Jonas has a twisted creative mind and the ability to execute his ideas at a very high level. Combined with his sharp eye for detail and an extremely structured way of working, Jonas is not just a skilled creative specialist, but also an effective colleague. A warm recommendation from me."

Editor-in-Chief, Ekstra Bladet
"To Jonas’ new employer: Congratulations on Jonas. You are the ones who now get the pleasure of a well-liked and very direct all-round AD who possesses something increasingly rare: the grace of doubt. A good person to bounce ideas off, and ready to put ego aside if a specific visual twist is worth insisting on. Most days, Jonas is a hardworking and reliable multimedia designer with a feel for the bigger lines, and he is therefore good at translating goals, action plans, and ideas into visual communication. You can trust Jonas with responsibility, and from time to time he has, if the feedback is to be believed, and it is, been a valued host for visitors from professional education programmes. One last thing: if you wonder why Jonas asks so many questions to everyone around him, bosses, colleagues, strangers, it is simply because he is curious. That is a good thing."
