/ Background
VICE & Virtue
Picked up another hat in creative sales and spent two years with VICE and Virtue building and maintaining client accounts with an emphasis on digital media ads and creative solutions in Scandinavia. Delivering projects and campaigns from concept to execution together with clients and stakeholders. This helped me tie the knot between creative and sales.
/Background
South Park Studios
I used to manage editorial for South Park Studios across all four Nordic countries for 2.5 years. I was responsible for ensuring the content calender was up to date and communicated correctly, ran campaigns, moderated the internal community, ran events, competitions and launched South Parks e-commerce service.

MTV, VH1 & Comedy Central
For over +6 years I was responsible for MTV, VH1 and Comedy Central's websites and social media platforms as well as development, collection and management of content and digital marketing in the Nordics.
The first years I was working operations and in the latter I was in a leadership role focusing more on strategic work and management. I lead a team of 8 editors, setting our strategies and workflows for our content pipelines and communication with a goal setting to increase unique visitors, generate streams and grow our following.
From running events across the Nordics and creating content everyday in a 7-day week organisation, to growing our audience from one hundred thousand followers to millions. A lot happened during these years and it was instrumental in helping shape my understanding of content and communication.
