Meet the People Behind the Pixels
At Brink, we create high-end animation and illustration for marketing that captures attention and drives results. Since 2011, our Helsinki-based studio has been home to a team of producers, designers, and artists who are passionate about visual storytelling.
We focus exclusively on marketing content. From product launches and brand films to game trailers and character-driven campaigns, we help brands communicate clearly and creatively through motion. Every project is shaped by a close-knit team that combines creative ambition with production expertise and a deep understanding of how visual marketing works.
We’re proud of the people who make it all happen, and of the clients who trust us to bring their message to life. Get to know the team behind the pixels.
Executive Producers
Hello there, I’m Ilari – Executive Producer at Brink. I work closely with our clients to make sure their animation projects run smoothly from first spark to final frame. Whether it’s an infographic animation or a photorealistic animal sequence, I’m here to guide the process, ask the right questions, and help shape the creative vision into something that really works.Â
My background as both a producer and director gives me a unique ability to translate client goals into creative briefs that inspire our team and deliver real results.
Outside the studio, I’m a big fan of the outdoors – especially hiking in Lapland. I love traveling, diving into different cultures (Japanese food and culture are a personal passion), and spending quality time with my family. I’m all about keeping things moving, staying positive, and making collaboration as easy and enjoyable as possible.
Hi, I’m Molla – Executive Producer at Brink. I’ve been working in animation production for over 15 years, and I still love every minute of it. My background covers everything from 3D character animation for feature films to top-tier commercial spots and beautifully crafted 3D visuals for print. I’m especially passionate about character animation and always aim to bring both personality and precision into the production process.
For me, great production work starts with great relationships. I love working closely with clients, finding the right solutions for their unique needs, and making the entire experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I’m all about clear communication, mutual trust, and getting things done the right way.
Outside of work, I recharge by going to dance classes—from Latin to jazz—and spending time with my family and my dog, who keeps me busy with long walks and regular grooming sessions that could almost qualify as a hobby of their own.
Management
Hello, I’m Ilpo – CFO and one of the founders of Brink. I’ve had the privilege of leading some of the largest marketing animation productions in Finland—alongside countless smaller ones that matter just as much. What drives me is helping clients succeed. I love figuring things out, solving problems, and making sure every project runs smoothly from start to finish.
At Brink, I’m responsible for making sure our financials are in check, our clients get the best possible service, and the right creative people are working on the right things. People say it’s easy to work with me. I take that as the best kind of compliment.
When I’m off the clock, you’ll most likely find me on the golf course, at the gym, playing a good video game, or diving into something new to learn. I also enjoy spending time with my family and good friends.
Hi there, I’m Alexander – CEO and co-founder of Brink. My path into animation started early, driven by a deep passion for storytelling, visuals, and all things creative. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve been fortunate to work on countless animation productions and, in 2011, I co-founded Brink with a group of close friends and collaborators. I started as a hands-on creative director and later producer, but today my role is all about making sure our clients are truly taken care of. I’m very proud of what we’ve built together with our talented team and amazing clients.
Outside the studio, I’m a curious guy with many interests: golf, gym sessions, and cooking are a few of my regulars. (Yes, the hot dog recipe really is that good.) But most of all, I’m a family man – being a dad and husband is what matters most to me.
