Frode Mikal Soerlie Kvaerner-Ludvigsen

Versatile designer and marketer with over 16 years of experience in visual communication, campaigns, and branding. As the very first employee at Mittanbud, I played a key role in shaping the service from the ground up - across Norway and the Nordic region by tending to the sister services "ServiceFinder" in Sweden and "Remppatori" in Finland. I've created everything from display ads and campaign pages to newsletters, social media content, and print materials – often handling both the creative concept and the final production. I also led the branding and design for the national campaign "Norges Hyggeligste Håndverker” for several years. Functioned as the in-house marketing and advertising agency. Comfortable collaborating with developers, marketers, sales teams, and external partners. I understand how design and messaging must align with both audience and channel. I work independently, efficiently, and understand the importance of following a brand guide. I'm a practical, down-to-earth person who values clear communication and teamwork. I thrive in environments where structure and deadlines matter, but where creativity and flexibility also have room to breathe. I'm used to balancing many tasks at once and staying calm under pressure. Being hands-on comes naturally to me – I'm not afraid to jump in where help is needed, whether it's brainstorming ideas or handling last-minute fixes. Outside of work, running a small farm with my family keeps me grounded and reminds me daily that patience and persistence are key. When not tending to the farm, I'm trying to make some electronic music in our home recording studio, or playing with AI like Silly Tavern, Stability Matrix, Ollama, and such. I'm motivated by solving problems with a practical approach and by contributing to a team that values quality and consistency in everything it delivers. And oh, did I mention 30+ years (in total) of hands-on IT, internet, marketing, and design experience...?
