I have worked across entertainment, consumer goods, technology, finance and healthcare - helping global brands translate business objectives into effective audience, media and measurement strategies.
I am particularly interested in how audience, creative, platform signals, and structured experimentation work together to improve both immediate campaign performance and long-term brand growth.

    To bring Troll 2 to life in its home market, we turned Norway into an immersive playground, combining creator-led content across Meta, TikTok and Snapchat with a QR-enabled AR lens that connected out-of-home to a playful social experience.

    Bringing one of France’s most loved cultural icons to life through one of Netflix France’s biggest campaigns of the year, we went full scale and combined high-reach formats with reactive social to make Asterix an unmissable national launch moment.

    The return of Benoit Blanc demanded a campaign as big as the detective himself and his all-star ensemble. We went full scale across markets, using high-impact formats to put Daniel Craig, Josh Brolin and Mila Kunis front and centre - driving maximum awareness and launch momentum.
