Life in Norway, six months later

December 21, 2011

It’s now been about six months since my previous blog post, so I guess it’s about time to state the obvious – building a new performance marketing agency is going to be my full-time (plus some 100%) focus for the forseable future.

Here’s a quick status report: The agency have been up and running since June, we worked with over 50 clients (covering seo, ppc, and facebook advertising etc), our 4th consultant is joining us in january, and we’ve just signed a major client (can’t tell you which yet…) that we’re absolutely stoked about. I’m absolutely thrilled about the progression so far, and I’m looking forward to continue building the best performance marketing team in Norway by doing great work with our clients.

Here’s to a brilliant 2012! Cheers!
