Einar Örn is Executive Creative Director at Islenska in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Art director-slash-writer by trade, Einar left Iceland in his twenties for the shimmering promise of Boston and Madison Avenue. Fifteen years later he returned to the homeland to lead creative at Islenska, which has since become the most awarded agency in the country. Einar has worked on campaigns for more clients than he remembers—Icelandair, Inspired by Iceland, Cheerios, New York Lottery, VH1, unicef, Jet Blue, Toyota, Subaru, Lexus, and countless others. Consequently his office is filled with some pretty hardware. Lions and statues and pencils. Oh, my.

Marathoner, father of two beautiful girls, and true nature-loving viking at heart, Einar seeks inspiration in the Icelandic outdoors and currently holds an ocean rowing world record along with his teammates of North Atlantic Row.
