Description
Work

During the period at CO/PLUS, we helped Arla enter the plant category with the launch of their plant drink JÖRD. We've put Norwegian back on the map and introduced the world to their mascot, Espen. And we have developed one of the tele communication industry's best-performing communication universes for 3. Among many other things.

My focus as a Creative Director has been to build a creative department that was sharper on our creative output and even better at hitting bulls eye the first time, which has resulted in even better work and even more long-term relationships with our customers - this has, among other things, been visible in the CO/PLUS yearly result - the best in the agency's 16-year history.

In February 2016, Beer Buddy was launched with a clear focus to bring great beers back on the tables. This is done with a subscription service that delivers craft beers from Danish microbreweries directly to the office every friday - simple and without hassle.

A new and ambitious initiative that with a mission to expand the knowledge and accessibility to the many small breweries that exist but are difficult to find, while at the same time remove a large part of the snobbery that surrounds the craft beer culture.

Work

Two people. One agency. Senior enough to take the leading role and small enough to follow projects from start to finish. We believe that the people who are doing the work should also be those the customers talk to - from the first coffee to the final delivery.
