Kenneth is without a doubt one of the best communications professionals I have had the pleasure of working with. With profound knowledge of the consumer tech industry, and a tireless drive to always deliver exceptional results, he is a reliable partner to any business looking to elevate their brand presence in the Nordics. I highly recommend Kenneth, and congratulate anyone who gets to work with him.

Kenneth is a true PR and digital marketing professional and I have had the pleasure to work with him on several projects at Wallmob A/S. Kenneth is easily one of the most effective and self-motivated individuals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Kenneth’s high level of energy is contagious and he is constantly bringing clever and interesting ideas to the table with well thought out plans of execution and strategy to back them up. Whenever I needed an advice or feedback on a project, I could always count on Kenneth to have a fresh perspective. Kenneth has a deep, broad and detailed knowledge of the ins/outs on how to effectively use all-around digital marketing and PR to increase brand awareness and improve conversion rates. In addition, Kenneth is a strong company/client advocate and he always look’s out for his client’s best interests. I strongly recommend Kenneth to any company and/or client who are looking for an exceptional marketing leader as well as an inspiring and trusted colleague.
