Who is Jan?
Jan Sederlöf is an ECD turned director.
He grew up dreaming of drawing Donald Duck comics. Unfortunately, visual arts were never his forte. So he became a copywriter — and eventually ended up making ads for Donald Duck comics.
Isn't it ironic? Don't you think.
When he's not quoting lyrics from 90's hits and writing director bios, he likes to brag about that time he directed his first ever commercial, which won him a Clio Entertainment Grand Prix (among other awards).
As demonstrated above, he is very humble and mildly allergic to corporate jargon (and some nuts).
He only refers to himself in the third person when writing bios.
