If you’re new here, here’s a quick snapshot of my background:
2018 → Became Head of Marketing at Thermomix Norway, scaling the business to multi-7 figures using Facebook ads with a 10x ROAS over two years.
2020 → Went independent and started helping brands scale profitably. My first client quadrupled revenue in under a year while maintaining a 4x ROAS.
2022 → Started this YouTube channel, which led to inbound interest from brands worldwide after sharing real case studies and results.
2023 → Built a small team, then intentionally returned to a lean, founder-led model to work directly with clients.
2024 → Shifted focus from media buying to creative strategy after seeing significantly stronger performance from improved creative systems.
2025 → Transitioned from an ad management service to strategic consulting for 7–8 figure DTC brands.
2026 → Starting the year with a full roster and opening a waitlist for my strategic consulting work.
