The Holiday Seasonal Campaign is a significant event at Georg Jensen, with production commencing many months in advance. Video was not initially included in the scope of this extensive campaign. However, luck smiled upon me, granting me the opportunity to capture behind-the-scenes and directed footage of the remarkable Georg Jensen holiday campaign on short notice while the team was hard at work.
Tasked with both shooting and video editing responsibilities, I am pleased with the outcome, especially given the inevitable constraints we encountered along the way.

Guided by Pandora's global campaign objectives, I had the pleasure of leading the art direction for several collaboration projects which included a series of engaging videos tailored for the brand's diverse social media platforms. Notable among these were collaborations such as Game of Thrones X Pandora, Marvel Legends, and Captain Marvel X Pandora. Each video was crafted to seamlessly fuse Pandora's signature jewelry with the unique worlds of these renowned franchises.
From the intricate detailing of Game of Thrones to the heroic narratives of Marvel Legends and Captain Marvel, creating moodboards and then storyboarding to ensure that shots conveyed the essence of these partnerships. With a focus on creativity, Pandora's visual identity, and collaborative goals, my aim of these videos was to not only highlight Pandora's exciting products and dedication to storytelling, but also strengthened its presence across international social media channels, enhancing guest experience and capturing audience attention.
For example, the Game of Thrones X Pandora video (4.6M views) combined the foundry aspect of jewellery making with the iconic intro of the franchise. While, in Captain Marvel X Pandora (750K views), I wanted to highlight the leadership aspect of the main character.

This collaborative effort authentically celebrates Torun's legacy, seamlessly intertwining her creative vision with the essence of Georg Jensen's exceptional craftsmanship.

Like many of us, I share a deep passion for animals and hold concerns about their welfare, habitats, and the evolving environment. Inspired by the myriad causes and animal species championed by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), I took the initiative to create an animated short specifically tailored for social media. This creation was shared with the WWF Marketing & Communications team.
From playful pandas to majestic elephants, each scene embodies the spirit of our shared commitment to preserving biodiversity, I used animated wording with the help of After Effects to demonstrate the many contributions WWF makes.
