Mikko Lehtinen

Born in the happiest country on planet Earth, Finland – known for its thousands of lakes, and silent forests where the air hums with the stillness of things waiting to happen – Mikko was never one to wait.

With a diverse background spanning across marketing, advertising, acting, theatre, and cultural history studies, Mikko has directed hundreds of commercials, chasing the light in all seven continents. Many won awards, the kind that matter. Some became online sensations, garnering millions of views in double digits.

Mikko’s approach to creating impactful ads is refreshingly straightforward: Entertain the Audience. Aware that no one likes their daily routine disrupted by a dull commercial, he makes sure his are flavorful, surprising, witty, heartwarming, uplifting, dazzling, exciting, and even thought-provoking.

Mikko is a natural born storyteller, and a top-drawer craftsman, with stellar performances, rhythm, and timing being the secret sauce to his compelling directing.​

“There’s a timing for everything.”
