Jean-Christophe Yacono (yako)
creative, interactive & experiential director

Before arriving in Montreal in 1989, yako began his career firstly as an illustrator, freelance designer and assistant director, then as Artistic Director for several agencies.

From 1993 to 2005, he chalked up many remarkable and successful campaigns, notably with Epoxy, where he was recruited as artistic director before becoming a partner.

Forerunner of the Internet wave and providing an avant-garde approach to the interactive experience, yako is considered one of the most innovative creative directors in the interactive field, for which he has achieved international recognition. The quality of his work and of his approach is regularly acknowledged by Canadian and international awarding bodies, as well as several specialized magazines.

In recent years has divided his time between artistic projects and experimental creative projects and Web documentaries, teaming up with Sidlee, Cloudraker, Toxa/Urbania, Bluesponge, excentris, TV5, 33mag, Ubisoft and Patrick Watson with Close To Paradise.
