"After the success off the social first packs at Flair, I am eager to develop more innovative, creative ways of storytelling that lead to successful campaigns. I look forward to applying my journalistic skills in a new way. A good story works: in magazines, on websites, on social media and in content marketing. And if there is one thing we have plenty of at Roularta it’s great stories. I have enjoyed working with the talented team at Brand Studio during my years at Flair. I am excited to now work together on the (digital) future of content marketing."
