Summary
Jan Jelinek is a founder and creative director with 11 years of experience building and leading digital and advertising ventures from Liberec, Czechia. He has launched and steered multiple agencies and labs (B&T agency, B&T lab, Profiteroll) and held senior creative roles at McCANN Prague and ZARAGUZA Digital, blending strategy, storytelling and digital craft. Equally at home sketching campaign concepts as he is with hands-on product direction, he approaches advertising with the curiosity of someone still asking what it’s really about. Outside work he’s a developer, musician and maker—writing, bowl- and bow-making—that informs a multidisciplinary, craft-focused perspective on creative problems. His background in IT management gives him practical technical fluency to bridge creative vision and execution. Colleagues describe him as a restless experimenter who turns literary and craft sensibilities into distinctive brand work.
