Strategic and creative lead for nordic PR-concept development.

Established OtherLands a future focused Blockchain concept to bridge lifestyle and tech. 

​

For the first time of its kind, an NFT art festival is being arranged in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland at the same time, initiated by Samsung Nordic. A festival that celebrates the creative and contrast-rich meeting that arises between art, fashion, music, technology and innovation when they meet through the aesthetic and absurdity that symbolizes NFT’s and blockchain technology.

Galaxy Test Trips

Established Galaxy Test trips a unique product test concept to attract lifestyle media to test tech products and write reviews. â€‹

​

The concept was created with the objective to attract sport & lifestyle journalists from the nordic countries to test Samsungs new Watch5Pro. The watch is a genuinely good smart sports-watch, but to engage sport-lifestyle journalists the test needed to be authentic and extreme, they needed to genuinely learn something new and it should be a test they would remember and talk about with their friends.

The Power of 5

Initiated the partnership with Marathon Gruppen and the Stockholm Half Marathon. 

​

The Power of 5 concept was created by JUNG as Nordic Lead PR agency for Samsung Nordic.  

 

The partnership was based on a Samsung invitational to nordic journalists and bloggers. They were invited to test five unique running data-features in Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 pro.     

In-house and/or interim manager 

I have some 20+ years of experience, working with brands, insights, and activations, both from agencies like PrimePR/UnitedMINDS and the brand side – including 6 years as Head of Marketing and Creative Director at Tretorn.
