Zusammenfassung
Throughout my career I've continuously been involved in starting new initiatives. I thrive on setting things in motion. Apart from the business side, I love working on innovative ideas, campaigns, products and services. I believe relevant stories and services are the most powerful tools to make brands worth talking about in an era of advertising overload.
I work at Google now. Creating opportunities for big ideas (campaigns, products and services) for the biggest advertisers and their agencies in Northern Europe. We help finding amazing opportunities in data, boost the ideation process through tools and workshops and implement amazing tech and media innovations.
In previous years, I have had the privilege of working with, and for some of the most talented brands, agencies and people out there. Although I consider myself a digital native, I have created integrated campaigns, films, games, mobile experiences, products and future concepts for global brands like:
Nike, Google, Converse, Volkswagen, Vodafone, Philips, KLM, Diageo, Fox and Heinz.
I have been rewarded with over 30 industry awards and honors, including Cannes Lions, Eurobest, Webby, Contagious Magazine, the FWA, ADC, SpinAwards and Emerce.
