Highlights.

2021

  • In the middle of the pandemic, I switched positions and started working as Nordic Marketing Manager for Bethesda, based at the Mi5 Communications office. What a thrilling experience to be part of the talented Bethesda team and working with partners on marketing campaigns for AAA releases such as Deathloop, the most anticipated, exclusive PlayStation 5 title of the year!

2020

  • During a super busy spring period, our team is on a roll as we released a DLC for Rico as well as Thunderful Publishing launching the very popular Lonely Mountain’s Downhill on Switch! We also annouced Deadly Premonition 2 and Harvest Moon: One World as Rising Star Games.
  • In February, the team attended PAX East in Boston with our partners Retriod – just before the world as we know if changed.

2019

  • As of November 1st, I took on my role of Marketing Manager at Thunderful, and I’m super excited to lead and grow our global marketing team, evolving the Thunderful brand. Press release here.
  • I spent the beginning of the year planning Thunderful Publishing’s first, but definitely not last, Press Event. Surprising our international guests with Swedish fika and locally brewed beer, everyone was happy. ^^ See Gamreactor’s (master) piece
  • Even though I’d been acting as Event & Influencer Manager at Thunderful Publishing for quite some time, we finally made the title official and I got on the right payroll. And new, really neat looking business cards. 🙂
  • The team and I had a super intense spring period, releasing 4 anticipated titles from both our in-house studios – Image & Form and Zoink – as well as from our external partners Gamefreak and Groundshatter for multiple platforms.
  •  I participated at Europes first TwitchCon in Berlin – attending the booth and taking meetings, together with our development studio Megagon Industries. We’re expecting Lonely Mountains Downhill to be nothing short of a success! 
  • Caught up with, well, everyone at E3. Saw Elon Musk and Todd Howard. And Keanu Reeves! 
  • ID@Xbox hosted some really nice events at their Stockholm offices. 
  • Me and his talented manager made it possible for Dan Bull to produce a rap video about Image & Form’s SteamWorld Quest. Epic. Just epic.

  • As newly appointed Event Manager – I was responsible for building and arranging Thunderful’s booth at PAX West, in Seattle, USA.
  • During this year’s Gamescom in Köln, Germany conducted business meetings and founded relations that will last for life.
  • Planned and executed a very successful PAX East in Boston, US together with Zoink!.
