My career began back in 1999 as a designer and AD assistant. Back then, Google was a big deal for geeks, Facebook didn’t exist and Apple was just a fruit for the common man. I worked my way up through print ads, photo retouches and photoshop 5.0. Little did I know about internet and how big impact it would have on advertising, my future career and rest of the world.
My career took a big boost after I finished Hyper Island, Sweden. The internet had a huge impact, and since then I’ve had the opportunity to work with brands like Coke, Heineken, Pepsi, Nike, Volvo Cars, Skoda, Mazda, Tine and Solo. I’ve also enjoyed international work experience, having lived in cities like Skellefteå, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London and Oslo. All in the name of advertising.
So, what have I learned in my soon to be 20 years in the business? Advertising has nothing to do with tv, internet, print, smartphones or social media, but has everything to do with communicating ideas between humans. The channel the communication comes through only effects peoples expectations on the message. My advertising motto is: Make useful advertising.
