In 1987, JYSK’s founder, Lars Larsen, is among the first in Denmark to use TV commercials when he appears on regional TV channel ‘TV South’ with the words “Hello. My name is Lars Larsen, and I have a great offer for you”.
A year after the successful regional advertisements, Lars Larsen can be seen in nationwide TV commercials on the channel TV 2. He is among the very first Danish business owners to use himself and his profile in a commercial way.
