I’m William—a creative and strategic communicator based in Stockholm, Sweden. My work speaks to the belief that communication is about conveying the full spectrum of meaning and emotion.
Carefully chosen words, wielded with precision, are powerful—they can enlighten, inform, and inspire action.
The philosopher Rene Descartes thought you could arrive at the truth through pure reasoning, through meditation, without leaving your chambers
but it helped if you had travelled the world and acquired a wealth of experience first.

SKILLS AND STRENGTHS:

EXPERIENTIAL MAKEUP
At work I go deep and take the long view.
INDUSTRY
BACKGROUND
Off work you’ll likely find me running trails, deep into places unknown on bike or skis, or setting up a tent by a lake somewhere.
Off work I go long and hard—running, hiking, biking or resting
And if not that, I'm probably in the sun having coffee or on my sofa with a book and my two cats.

WHAT I DO
As a copywriter in Shanghai I worked with a multitude of brands with their marketing on the Chinese market.
I was mainly helping them get their message across on juggernaut platforms like Alibaba's Tmall and Tencent's WeChat – reinterpreting and honing their ads and other sales copy for the Chinese customer and the realities of marketplace.
Content marketing is big on Chinese social media and I also wrote stories and essays for our brands social media accounts.
I'm currently a Communications Partner at the H&M Group's supply chain organisation.

We had heard a lot of praise for Presson's team, since many of our social circle was already using their services to purchase their own homes.

You can call William in the middle of the night and tell him you need his ass to come down to the docks with some plastic bags, duct tape, some rope, a shovel and a saw. He's not gonna ask you why, he's gonna be there in 15 minutes.

Thank you for your support and helping hand, especially in recent weeks. Your can-do attitude and openness to step in has not only lifted weight off my shoulders, but knowing that I have a supportive colleague in you has really given me energy. Special thanks for managing the communications and for editing the [REDACTED] video last minute. I appreciate you!
JOSEFINE LYNXEN, COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, H&M GROUP
I asked William about a recent project, but instead of just reporting back to me, he made a very instructive, concise and also extremely fun video which got a lot of positive response. He is very communicative, great with videos and making things happen. He impersonates the values: simplicity, we are one team, and entrepreneurial spirit in one video!
