  I help build bridges between Norwegian companies and international audiences. Norwegian firms, particularly in the maritime and energy sectors, offer world-class products and services, but not always the English language skills to market them overseas. I write on- and offline content, while also devising and executing strategy, to help national companies achieve international results. Daily duties include writing and working on - press releases, websites, magazine articles, copywriting (advertising and promotional material), annual reports, newsletters, proofing, translating (Norwegian to English), social media, book projects, and more.Clients range from some of the largest Norwegian businesses, with substantial product portfolios, to smaller firms targeting big breakthroughs. All of them have one thing in common: the need for effective communications.
