PR Activations and
Branded Experiences

We create authentic brand experiences, PR activities, and creative concepts based around nature and outdoor adventures. We focus on the cultural movement—from fandom to fundom—and active engagement in co-created experiences. Whether it is a PR launch, a community-building activity, or a global brand movement doesn't matter. We set the stage for your branded activities to become a playground for cultural creativity and community building.

Branded PR experiences

I believe in activations that are born in motion, through shared experiences that connect people, passion, and playfulness.

I help brands design and execute experiences that strengthen brand storytelling and engagement. From PR concept to execution, I’ve created experiences like the three-day Samsung Arctic Circle Trail Test Trips, transforming product testing into memorable, authentic brand stories.

Case: Samsung PR Arctic-Circle-Trip Watch5pro launch

Challenge:
Samsung MX Nordic wanted to strengthen its premium positioning within sports watches and differentiate Watch 5 Pro from Apple Ultra through authentic product experiences.

Result:

Strong Nordic media coverage and journalist engagement.

  • Established the Samsung Watch 5 Pro as the most credible outdoor smartwatch in the region.

  • Contributed to a +352 % increase in PR performance within 12 months

Challenge & Result

  • Developed the concept “Bucket List Test Trips,” a 3-day trail-running and product-testing experience for journalists across the Arctic Circle.

  • Planned and led the entire activation: journalist selection, local execution, storytelling framework, and guided experience.

  • Conducted product demo’s and authentic feature testing

  • Navigating with a compass, stress test, running datapoints, morning yoga, and battery time test. 

  • Ensured the product test became an unforgettable story that journalists wanted to publish.

The Power of Experiences

Create your own or join a unique mountain experience with Above The Clouds, the Trailfulness running club, Freelance Strategy Days, or a brand experience trip/event. 

Trailfulness Running Club

At the heart of the club’s excursions is 'Trailfulness'—a meditative approach to trail running that promotes a mindful, slower pace. This philosophy isn't just about covering distance; it’s about savoring each step.
