He specialises in insight-driven, innovative big ideas and brand platforms, solving business problems with creativity that drives meaningful change. His thinking transcends conventional advertising, making a notable impact on culture and often finding its way into the news. His creative inspiration stems from a deep connection with people, curiosity, culture, technology, his love for music, and the world around him.
Anders is a passionate art director obsessed with everything visual, using art direction as a tool to simplify complex business problems and tell stories in the most captivating, memorable, and visual way.
His passion is to create work that not only works, but is felt – ideas that understand their time, contribute to culture, and create real value for both people and brands, while also highlighting important issues and making a difference. From the very beginning of his career, he has been drawn to working with and for people – especially those who are often overlooked or unheard. Much of his creative work has focused on giving voice and visibility to underrepresented communities and social issues. He believes that creativity should not only sell – but move something. For someone.
Since the beginning of 2024 he was been the Digital Creative Director for Beko overseeing the social strategy and creative work for the client. Priot to that he spend 2.5 years CDing the global Costa Coffee acount helping to redefine the brand and launch its new brand position “Made A Little Better” and their first ever brand film in the UK and globally.
Previously he was at BBH, RKCR, Wieden+Kennedy LDN, McGarryBowen, Mr. President, WundermanThompson and VML
Anders is the alumni of creative advertising school DMJX in Copenhagen where he’s taught creative advertising. He is also passionate about mentoring and nurturing young talents as a mentor at SCA London, Farnham University, Futures Gen: and at D&AD as a new blood coach.
Before entering the world of advertising he enjoyed a successful career as a club promoter and DJ. Over eight years, he traveled across Europe organising club nights and earned the prestigious 'Best Night Club' Award in Copenhagen in 2004. To this day, he continues to DJ at festivals in the UK under the moniker Hot Flush, alongside influencer Mother Pukka.
In addition to his nightlife endeavours, Anders worked as an A&R , counting new bands for record label Copenhagen Records. He also served as a trend scout for Siemens Germany, providing them insights into the latest developments in art, fashion tech, and culture in Denmark.
In the early 2000’s he co-founded and ran the culture and club website FeelCph with his friend Philip. The site played a pivotal role in introducing the term "Club Kids" to the Danish club scene. FeelCph was the first media in Denmark to capture nightlife through photography and cover unique cultural stories overlooked by mainstream media. This success led to a contributing role at a prominent Danish fashion magazine, where he wrote about nightlife and the latest tendencies.
Anders has a bachelors degree in Creative Communications (advertising) from DMJX in Copenhagen.
