Connection is not a layer of branding, it’s the foundation beneath it.
Jakob Trpin studies how brands build meaningful impact across B2B and B2C markets. He works at the intersection of strategy, creativity, and execution, helping brands build stronger and more consistent connections with audiences across channels and touchpoints. With around 20 years of experience, he has worked with leading brands across Europe and global markets in both agency and client-side roles.
