Bio
Katrine Øvredal Kelly
I have worked with Benedicte for about a year and a half, and it has been an absolute pleasure. Benedicte is dedicated and hardworking, but also extremely creative both in her writing, problem solving and the creation of new projects. She is intelligent, quick witted and always strives to learn more and develop her skills. Her positive and enthusiastic personality brightens up the workday and she always makes an effort to get to know and include people.

I have been fortunate enough to have the pleasure of working with Benedicte for the best part of six months. She is not only a hard-working individual, she has also been a reliable, engaging and friendly member of the editorial team. As the newest member of this team, I have found it immensely helpful to have someone like Benedicte around me who has been both extremely helpful as well as making me feel warmly welcome in a closeknit team.

Oct 2012 - Aug 2015
As a creative writer for Groupon one of my main tasks was to add spice, zest and great selling points to deals of any sort – be they exotic and exciting or downright dreary. It didn't matter if my job was to pitch a deal where our customers could hike through the mountains of Nepal, or if my task was to sell a multifunctional vacuum cleaner: I had to make a compelling, well-written argument in order for the deal to sell.While the main task was to be a writer of the creative sort, other daily activities often entailed:• Editing the writing of other writers• Fact checking • Translations (Norwegian to English and English to Norwegian)• Social Media (Facebook and Facebook through Sprinklr) Show less
