Experience
Selected examples of expertises, earlier projects, and CV
(For the sake of my clients' discretion, a large part of my work and especially the strategic work can unfortunately not be presented here)
Strategic core narratives
Through collaborative workshops and sparring, we develop strategic core narratives for new projects, research, technologies, or business strategies.
In addition to the strength of having well-founded strategic communication going forward, the process itself can also be very beneficial for achieving a strong common understanding in the leadership team.
Hereafter, the final core narrative can be communicated to relevant target groups in various graphic formats, depending on what strengthens the messages the most.
Please note: The graphics shown are only for illustrative purposes.
Visualisation
Visualisation is a great way to increase accessibility, engagement, and understanding - especially in a global working environment.
Also, when it comes to communicating complex research, technological or strategic topics, visualisation has a fantastic strength.
I offer development of graphic content in a wide variety of formats such as presentations, infographics, one-pagers, videos, animations, posters, roll-ups, etc.
Please note: The graphics shown are only for illustrative purposes.
Science communication
Nothing can drive engagement and fascination as much as good science communication. It can help us understand ourselves and bring us into the future.
Inspirational showcasing of the human and societal impact of science was where my passion for communication started, escalated, and spread.
I like working with animations, slides, talks and videos. I can run the whole or parts of the process, such as creation of the strategic foundation, production plans, camera training of researchers or management, production, speak, colour grading, etc..
Inspirational talks
For more than 20 years, I have loved to hunt down and pass on fascinating and broadly relevant scientific stories about the brain to people of all ages.
The topics range widely from beer-loving Australian beetles and apps that can control our mood, to brain cannons and how increased interaction with strangers can make our everyday lives better.
Over the years, I've had the pleasure of giving talks at science camps, anniversaries, conferences, team-building days and many small and large events in Europe and the US.
My latest inspirational Brain Talk is offered at JesBrix.dk.
Life X - Life Explorers
Produced 2019-2021
Jes and Storm, a neuroscientist and a production manager, have quit their jobs and want to sail around the world for three years to meet people and explore the science behind a good life. All at 10 km per hour.
It was funded by The Lundbeck Foundation and shared on social media.
My tasks: Responsible for project application and management, idea, production, script, layout, animations, editing, speak, subtitles, budget, press and website.
Personal stories
Produced in 2018
What does the everyday life look like when living with a brain disease? In four small films, we enter the everyday life of people living with depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease.
In one of the stories, we meet Mònica and Enric, who got their life in Barcelona turned upside down when Alzheimers arrived.
My tasks: Video recordings, graphics, editing and subtitles. Produced during my employment at H. Lundbeck A/S.
Disease understanding
Produced in 2016
In a miniseries of four animated videos, we take a closer look at how depression, schizophrenia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease affect our brain, our body, our everyday life and our relationships with other people.
The films were used internally and externally as an easily accessible, precise and visual introduction to how brain diseases affect us.
My tasks: Preparation of manuscripts, graphics, animations, editing and speaks. Produced during my employment at H. Lundbeck A/S.
Podcasts
Produced in 2018
Podcasts are a great way to visit very hard to reach places.
It could be a trip into our brain tissue, to follow the immune cells as they prepare for war against various diseases.
Or maybe follow the developments in a psychiatric hospital across 200 years with all that entails of hot baths, art and punishment.
My tasks: Idea, interviews, manuscripts, editing, sound effects and ambient sounds. Produced during my employment at H. Lundbeck A/S.
Drughunters
Held since 2007
Drughunters is an annual competition where high school students from across Denmark try to think like researchers and compete in the development of future treatments for brain diseases.
Drughunters aims to give young people a deeper understanding of brain diseases and the underlying research and innovation.
My tasks: Project management, idea and development, internal and external promotion, merchandise, entertainment, budget, press releases and website. Held during my employment at H. Lundbeck A/S.
