Bridging the gap between strategic announcements and everyday operations
I have 20 years' experience in communication and management. I worked 10 years in leading Danish design and communications agencies and 10 years in the VELUX Group, holding a variety of roles from Corporate Brand Manager to Director of Group Marketing Communications.
The past five years I have been deeply involved in strategy implementation and change. I have helped communicate corporate strategy and plans and designed organizational solutions to enhance efficiency and collaboration internationally. I have created engaging events and activities to generate ownership and excitement. And I have worked with my team to fill in the blanks in an ever-changing environment.
While focusing on the big picture I have always remained involved in actual communication planning and development. What drives me forward is the desire to understand context, create clarity, and mobilize people with relatable communication that fascinates and resonates.
I have a background in Media Science from Aarhus University, and I studied Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin. In 2022 I started ELKJÆR Communications, because I believe there is a need for someone to help bridge the gap between major strategic announcements and everyday operations.
