About Jordi
Founder of the digital agency DIVE, the Barcelona Surf Festival, Festival Organic, DIVE FEST, Lokals Collective, co-founder of Piknic Electronik Barcelona, Brunch Electronik Barcelona, Electrosnow Festival and many more. I also was an information architect and later social media advisor at the agency Sid Lee with clients including Adidas Originals, Cirque Du Soleil, Tourism Montrèal, Red Bull, Heineken, Fatboy among many others and my diverse experience also includes working as a choreographer and performance artist.
I alternate my high energy business lifestyle with meditation, surfing, traveling with my van and being in nature, which I find very inspiring and brings balance to my life.
I have a strong background in marketing and communication, specially online, but I’m also an entrepreneur which gives me the understanding of how a company works, I use creativity and deep thinking solutions to tackle the challenges that companies face in this new world paradigm.
I’ve spent the last two years studying and developing new ways that brands and organizations can use to reach their audience in a deeper and more meaningful way. I believe each day more people want to have an positive impact in the world, they seek meaning and want their brands, organizations, leaders, mentors to acknowledge that. They are waiting for alternatives, let's offer them!
I work with agencies or companies that understand the power of storytelling, I help them find their voice, their values and create a holistic narrative that reaches their audience in a deep and meaningful way.
