What I do:

I help companies set a digital communications plan, by focusing on target groups, goals and resources. I help integrate social media in the communications strategy, to increase success rates and conversions generated by digital activities. I also help companies with social advertising to drive web site traffic, likes, engagement or conversions, according to the current objective. I work with public relation strategies, and help companies identify journalists, bloggers and influencers, as well as put together an outreach plan. I can also assist with branding activities, and help management teams brand or rebrand their business. I especially enjoy working with startups in helping them position themselves on the market, as well as with government agencies to help them better navigate the future of work.

I have supported 100+ companies and organizations since 2010. My clients can be found across several industries, including eCommerce, IT, mobile, media, HR, entertainment and education.

I am a public speaker on digital communication and the future of work. I also act as a moderator for different events.  See a list of my upcoming and previous talks and gigs here.

I offer training in social media and content management, to make sure a company has the understanding of and can handle their digital presence. As well as in how to thrive as an organization in the future of work.

I am the co-founder of Svenska Nomader – Sweden’s largest platform for digital nomads. We are a platform where individuals, companies and society can meet to discuss ideas and findings about the labor market of tomorrow as well as to engage in collaborations and projects with each other. We work with both private companies and government organizations to better understand and prepare for changes on the labor market.

In my free time, I love to explore the world, and had a personal goal set of visiting 50 countries before I turned 30. In November 2016 that goal was reached with a trip to Namibia.

For several years I also acted as a freelance writer for several publications, in Sweden and Asia, and I occasionally still do. Find a list of published articles here.
