My Loop
About Me
I love digital. I live digitally. I want to work with anything that involves digital.
I have been working full time for 6 years within different digital media companies and the tasks have been everything between heaven and earth.
From simpler production to economics, hardcore customer service, office assistant, marketing, key account sales with big budgets and relations, responsible for taking part in fairs and the list is so much longer, and this is only with two different employers.
I recently finished one year at Bergh’s School of Communications in Stockholm Sweden. This was after receiving Bergh’s Digital Pioneer Scholarship witch entitled me to a free year (worth approx 18 000 aus dollar) at the Interactive Communications Program as a Digital Strategist/Producer.
This is a selection from my Letter of Recommendation I received on graduation from the program director at Bergh’s, Peder Rotkirch :
“Clara stands out as an unusually strategically driven creative student with ambitions to set new standards for tomorrow’s worlds marketing and advertising. She has demonstrated how the new media landscape will help businesses grow and how communication itself will change. Forgoing traditional advertising concepts, Claras solution has been to develop new digital product platforms with an entrepreneurial point of view.”
I also received a Diploma with Honors and the second place with my group in the yearly competition for graduation students at Bergh’s. This exhibition was called A Sustainable Plan.
I am an active, hard working and versatile woman that is looking for a creative and fun employer that is easy going and full of life. I have an extreme will to reach the goals I set up in life and I bring that mindset with me to the company I’m working for.
Live to work, or work to live?
That’s a hard question for many but not for me. I work to be able to afford to travel and experience new things, and observe. These things will make me grow and make me a more complete person and better at what I do for a living, collect insights and create solutions after those insights.
If you would like to know more about me, please don’t hesitate to contact me wherever it suits you the best.
