He stated '''"I'm stopping at Astralis. When I said yes 7 years ago to the challenge of building a brand in a relatively unknown industry, I didn't know much about gaming. However, I had solid industry experience from several senior positions in both communications, media and the commercial area, so after familiarizing myself with the ecosystem and the potential that others had seen long before me, I had no doubts. I was the fifth employee in an organization that has since grown to just under 80 employees. I have been involved in virtually everything in the organization with particular focus on the establishment and development of our various brands, all forms of stakeholder communication, PR and press, operation and development of own media, as well as the political and commercial area, including management of our strong media department. Both in Denmark and internationally, we have built solid brand awareness and filled arenas through strategic marketing and a strong, persistent presence in earned media across print, digital and flow media. With over 3 million followers across social media, we have built Denmark's largest team brand measured by followers, and we have launched our own live channel with up to 10,000 simultaneous Danish viewers."'''
