Work experience

Lavendla AB

Full-time • 5 yrs

Product Marketing Specialist

Aug 2023 - Apr 20251 yr 8 mos

As a Product Marketing Specialist, I used my skills in storytelling and copywriting to market services for Sweden's second largest provider of funeral and legal services. I was part of the company's expansion into the field of therapy, and focused on the customer journey from digital advertising to customer satisfaction follow ups.

Customer Support Agent

Apr 2021 - Aug 20243 yrs 4 mos

As a Customer Support Agent for Sweden's second largest provider of funeral and law services, I helped more than 10.000 clients match with our trusted consultants. During this period, I was tasked with setting up our new support desk and improve our customer journey, which included the authoring of hundreds of articles for both internal use, and customer facing support. I pride myself on the work me and my team put in to communicate everything from the intricacies of the company's custom CRM-system to how to better approach, ensure, and communicate with clients who often faced sensitive or precarious situations. This work honed my communication skills, and made me realize how much connection plays a part in written communication, wether it's corporate copy—or literary writing.

    I've had the pleasurable experience of working with Johan on my first novel, then again for the rewrite on that novel, then again for the sequel to that novel. There's a lot I could say, but the word "Wow." really sums it up best. He notices things that nobody else seems to notice (including me), and...

    I had Johan beta-read my manuscript and give me a developmental edit for my upcoming book, and I'm blown away by his attention to detail, commentary, and suggestions for improvement. My book is pretty in-depth and can be a difficult read because of the subject matter, but Johan helped me polish everything...

    Far exceeded my expectations. Johan is like a forensic investigator. I actually laughed several times reading his feedback because of how spot on it was, and has given me a fire to get back to my story that had me lost. I now have a clear direction and laser focused objective for my next draft and never...

    I really appreciated how the seller provided feedback throughout the manuscript. It really helps to know specific details about a sentence or paragraph that hits wrong. I will use this seller again.

    Johan read my manuscript with detail and understanding in mind. His feedback was based on a thorough and comprehensive reading of my work. He noticed the subtle details, a word here, a phrase there. His feedback is beyond useful.
