  • Negotiated the media buy, image rights, and talent consent
  • Briefed and directed the in-house creative team
  • Secured sign-off from senior leadership at every stage
  • Owned the campaign end-to-end, from strategy to placement

Impact

  • 53% positive brand impression among surveyed Oslo residents
  • 2M+ impressions across the campaign
  • 450k+ views across X posts (400+ re-shares)
  • $13K saved through direct negotiation on media buy and image rights
