It’s WE, not ME
As some of you might know I started up my own company last year together with a former colleague of mine. I was expecting hard work - which it has been - and some challenging moments, which also have appeared from time to time. What I was hoping for, but didn’t fully dare count on,…Read more It’s WE, not ME
The Art of the Ask
One challenge that has been with me throughout most of my active life as a content developer and producer has been the careful approach to the Ask. Whatever we’ve been involved in, it has always come up against the need to ask something of someone at some point. How to make this Ask, how to…Read more The Art of the Ask

Most of the stories we tell are personal, directed at one person or a small group, but some are intended for far larger audiences.…Read more How to make your story resonate
Lean content creation – together with the audience
I’ve been fascinated by the lean development principles for quite some time. It is something that feels very right, very modern and very effective, even if the principles and the way of working might take some time getting used to and embracing – more or less time, depending on what kind of company you’re working…Read more Lean content creation – together with the audience
On the importance of long term thinking
Over the past few years I’ve been involved in quite a few different storytelling projects. Some of them have been in the corporate field – helping companies tell the stories of the products, projects or people in ways that reflect the values and principles of said company. Increasingly I’ve also been happy to try to…Read more On the importance of long term thinking
