Melissa Hartelius and Maria Jernov — two brand builders who know how to turn ideas into brands that people notice, love, and buy.

We’ve spent the last decade building communities, creating visual worlds, developing products, navigating press, leading launches, and coaching founders. Together, we’ve experienced every side of brand building.

Melissa founded Klub Venus at 24, a taboo-breaking sexual wellness brand that grew from scratch into a national talking point. Building everything from scratch and growing it to a community of 70,000+ people and generating over 15M DKK in sales, including a memorable appearance on Løvens Hule.

Maria has spent ten years shaping culture and brands from the inside and out — working as an editor at ELLE, creative director and senior branding manager for brands like Tiffany & Co, Uniqlo and Pandora, Maria has done everything from PR and branding to influencer marketing, social media strategy and production. Maria has also been coaching multiple clients 1:1 on growth, storytelling, and brand clarity throughout her career.

What makes JernHart unique is our combination of founder experience, creative intuition, and business smarts. We don’t just make brands look good - we make them perform.

We know how to connect with audiences, create momentum, develop products, and drive revenue. We also help brands find their spark when they feel stuck, turning them back into something people love and actually want to buy.

At Jernhart, we work with brands, founders, creative entrepreneurs, coaches, and established brands. We help them clarify their story, reconnect with their audience, rebrand or refresh where needed, build visual worlds, launch products, grow audiences, and turn attention into revenue.
