01 Philosophy
What matters
The best communications doesn't come from shouting loudest or most. It comes from knowing what to say, to whom, and when, always with a good dose of creativity.
Sometimes things are urgent. Other times they need to be built over years. Either way: clear presence in a complex media and societal landscape — whether it's a launch, a crisis or a culture that needs to rally around a shared story.
«It has been a privilege to work with Frode. With his creative mind and sharp pen, in the role of communications lead, he has put Kameo on the map.»
Sebastian Martens Harung
CEO of Kameo
«In a world where text has become a commodity, it is strategic and creative thinking that separates the wheat from the chaff. Machines write. Frode thinks — and delivers.»
Eilin Schjetne
CEO of Aparta
